Article: Test your knowledge of the parts of speech in a text by practicing with example sentences. Type the sentence on your computer or write it down. Then, use highlighters, colored pens, or the highlight tool on your computer to identify each part of speech. There are several example sentences you can access online, and practice parts of speech test sheets that you can use to test your knowledge. You can try using simple sentences to identify basic parts of speech, like the noun or the verb, and longer, more complex sentences to identify more complex parts of speech, like the adverb or the preposition. Choose a highlighter color for nouns and try to locate it the noun in a simple sentence, such as: "I went to the store." In this sentence, the noun is the object, "store". "He eats to fight off his anxiety." In this sentence, the noun is the feeling, "anxiety". After you feel comfortable with locating the noun in a simple sentence, try a more complex sentence: "The little girl suddenly dropped her new doll and raced by me to the store." Use your highlighter to find all the nouns in this sentence: "girl", "doll", "store". Choose another highlighter color for verbs and find the verb in a simple sentence, such as: "I walk to the station." In this sentence, the verb is the action word, "walk". "She drank all the juice." In this sentence, the verb is the action word, "drank". Try to find the verbs in a more complex, and much longer sentence: "The little girl suddenly dropped her new doll and raced by me to the store." Use your highlighter to find all the verbs in this sentence: "dropped", "raced". Pick another highlighter color for adjectives and highlight the adjectives in a simple sentence, such as: "My mother dropped the blue vase." In this sentence, the adjective is the descriptor "blue". "My father sings Italian operas in the shower". In this sentence, the adjective is the descriptor "Italian". Look for the adjectives in a more complex, and much longer sentence: "The little girl suddenly dropped her new doll and raced by me to the store." Use your highlighter to find all the adjectives in this sentence: "little", "new". Choose a highlighter color for adverbs and find the adverbs in a short, simple sentence, such as: "I spoke to him calmly." In this sentence, the adverb, "calmly" is the modifying the verb "spoke". Identify the adverbs in a longer sentence: "The little girl suddenly dropped her new doll and raced by me to the store." Highlight the adverb in this sentence, "suddenly". Pick another highlighter color for pronouns and identify the pronouns in a simple sentence: "I picked him up at noon." In this sentence, the pronoun is "him". Locate the pronouns in a longer sentence: "The little girl suddenly dropped her new doll and raced by me to the store." Highlight the pronouns in the this sentence: "her" and "me". Practice identifying prepositions in a simple sentence: "I went with her to the store." In this sentence, the preposition is "with". Practice finding the prepositions in a more complex sentence: "The little girl suddenly dropped her new doll and raced by me to the store." The preposition in this sentence is "by" as it modifies "to the store". Try to find the conjunctions in a simple sentence: "We ate pizza and ice cream". The conjunction in this sentence is "and" as it connects two nouns together, "pizza" and "ice cream". Try to identify the conjunction in a more complex sentence: "I didn't want to go to the show that night because I knew she would be there." In this sentence, the conjunction is "because" as it connects the first half of the sentence to the second half of the sentence. Once you have ran through several example sentences, simple and complex, use your highlighter colors to identify the parts of speech in one sentence or question. For example: "Why did you go to the late show without me?" Use your highlighter colors to find the noun, the verb, the adjective, the pronouns, and the preposition in this sentence. You may want to try highlighting the parts of speech of practice sentences and questions with a partner so you can quiz each other on the parts of speech.
