Grammar Guru! Build your confidence!

Ms Cathy

Do you feel a little bit nervous about your use of English grammar? The famous poem below will help you:

Every name is called a NOUN,

As field and fountain, street and town;

 

In place of noun the PRONOUN stands

As he and she can clap their hands;

 

The ADJECTIVE describes a thing,

As magic wand and shiny ring;

 

The VERB means action, something done -

To read, to write, to jump, to run;

 

How things are done, the ADVERBS tell,

As quickly, slowly, badly, well;

 

The PREPOSITION shows relation, 

As in the street, or at the station;

 

CONJUNCTIONS join, in many ways,

Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase;

 

The INTERJECTION cries out, ‘Hark!

I need an exclamation mark!’

 

Through poetry, we learn how each of these makes up THE PARTS OF SPEECH.

For more help with grammar-please book a lesson!
