Identify what part of speech each word is in the following sentences. Neither Ila nor I knew that the baby had arrived already. Yes, you can go with us to Canada tomorrow. We will be driving together, but Mom won't return at the same time as we do. The eight parts of speech are verbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.
Verbs show action or state of being.
Nouns are the names of persons, places or things. Pronouns take the place of nouns. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns and tell which, whose, what kind, and how many. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs and tell how, when, where, and how much . Prepositions must have an object and show a relationship between its object and some other word in the sentence.
