The Nine Parts of Speech Poem
Three little words you often see,
Are articles – a, an, and the.
 
A noun’s the name of anything;
As:  School, garden, toy, or swing.
 
An adjective tells the kind of noun –
As:  Great, small, pretty, white, or brown.

Instead of nouns the pronouns stand –


Her head, his face, your arm, my hand.
Verbs tell of something to be done,
To read, write, count, sing, jump, or run.
 
How things are done the adverbs tell,
As: slowly, quickly, badly, or well.
 
Conjunctions join words together,
As men and women, wind or weather.
 
The prepositions stand before
A noun, as at or through the door.
The interjections show surprise,
As Wow! How pretty! Oh! How wise!
 
The whole are called nine parts of speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.
