All names of persons, places, things are NOUNS as Caesar, Rome and Kings.
PRONOUNS are use in place of nouns: I think, She sings, They work, He frowns.
When the kind you wish to state, Use an ADJECTIVE as Great.
But if manner you would tell, use ADVERBS such as: slowly, well.
To find an ADVERB this test try, Ask How? Or When? Or Where? Or Why?
PREPOSITIONS show relation as: With respect, or In our nation.
CONJUNCTIONS as their name implies are joining words: they are the ties that bind together day And
night, calm Or cold, dull Or bright.
Next, we have the VERBS which tell of action, being and state as well; To work, achieve, succeed, and
curb: each one of these is called a VERB.
The INTERJECTIONS show surprise, as: Oh! Alas! Oh me! How wise!
Thus briefly does this jingle state the parts of speech which total eight.
