PARTS OF SPEECH A part of speech refers to how a word is used in a sentence. Parts of speech include nouns, verbs, and prepositions for example. Nouns: A noun is a person, place, or thing.

Examples: books, women, boxes, cans Possessive nouns: Nouns that show ownership Example: Mike’s bike had a flat tire. (Mike owns the bike) Verbs: A verb is a word that shows action or being.

Common verb tenses: • Past tense (an action that happened in the PAST) Example: I ran in the race last week. • Present tense (an action that is happening NOW) Example: I am running in the race right now. • Future tense (an action that will happen in the FUTURE) Example: I will run in the race tomorrow. Subject / Verb Agreement The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. The subject/verb agreement states that a SUBJECT must agree with the VERB in a sentence. The Rules of Subject/Verb Agreement: • Singular subjects need singular verbs. Example: The cat is stuck in the tree. (cat = singular subject / is = singular verb) © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved.
