From the Parts of Speech lesson, a sentence I found very informative is:
“A verb expresses an action, an occurrence, or a state of being.”
This sentence helped me clearly understand that verbs do more than just show action.
Another important sentence is:
“Adjectives modify nouns by giving more information about their qualities or quantities.”
This sentence explains why adjectives are important in making sentences more descriptive.
Examples of parts of speech from the sentences:
Nouns: verb, action, occurrence, state, adjectives, nouns, information
Verbs: expresses, modify, giving
Adjectives: important, more
Prepositions: of, about
Conjunctions: or
