Hey everyone,
Going through the Parts of Speech materials, I came across a couple of sentences that really helped clarify things for me:
Sentence 1: "The curious cat silently crept across the wooden floor."
Breaking it down:
  • The - article
  • curious, wooden - adjectives (describing words)
  • cat, floor - nouns
  • silently - adverb (I always mix these up with adjectives, but this helped me see it modifies the verb "crept")
  • crept - verb
  • across - preposition
Sentence 2: "Oh! They rapidly finished their homework because the movie started soon."
  • Oh - interjection
  • They - pronoun
  • rapidly - adverb
  • finished, started - verbs
  • their - possessive adjective
  • homework, movie - nouns
  • because - conjunction
  • the - article
  • soon - adverb
