It addresses how to identify adverbs, predicate nominatives, predicate adjectives, direct objects, indirect objects, gerunds, prepositions, and conjunctions. For each part of speech, it gives the key questions to ask to determine if a word falls into that category, such as asking if an adverb answers questions about when, where, how, or to what extent.

    Identifying Parts of Speech

    How to Identify A(n):


    Adverb - Ask yourself: "Does this answer 'When,' 'Where,' 'How,' or 'To what extent?'?" Predicate Nominative - Ask yourself: "Is it a noun?" "Does it rename the subject?" "Is the verb a linking verb?" Predicate Adjective - Ask yourself: "Does it modify the subject, yet is it in the predicate?" "Is the verb a linking verb?" Direct Object - Ask yourself: "Does this answer: 'verb + whom? or what?'" Indirect Object - Ask yourself: "Does this answer: 'for whom?' or 'to whom?'?" Gerund - Ask yourself: "Does it look like a verb even though it is part of the subject?" or "Does it look like a verb even though it modifies something else?" Preposition - Ask yourself: "Does it show a relationship with 'the box'?" (Examples: around the box, under the box, to the box) Conjunction - Just remember this: FAN BOYS (F= for, A= and, N= nor, B= but, O= or, Y= yet, S= so)
