The Parts of Speech

Every name is called a noun,

As field and fountain, street and town,

In place of noun the pronoun stands,

As he and she can clap their hands.

The adjective describes a thing,

As magic wand or bridal ring.

The verb means action, something done,

To read and write, to jump and run.

How things are done the adverbs tell,

As quickly, slowly, badly, well.

The preposition shows relation,

As in the street or at the station.

Conjunctions join, in many ways,

Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase.

The interjection cries out, “Hark !

I need an exclamation mark!

Through poetry, we learn how each

of these make up THE PARTS OF SPEECH.
