| 词汇 | parts of speech |
| 词源 | parts of speech. An old anonymous poem nicely defines these: Three little words you often see Are ARTICLES, a, an and the. A NOUN’S the name of anything; As school or garden, hoop or swing. ADJECTIVES tell the kind of noun; As great, small, pretty, white, or brown. Instead of nouns the PRONOUNS stand; Her face, his face, our arms, your hand. VERBS tell of something being done; To read, count, sing, laugh, jump or run. How things are done the ADVERBS tell; As slowly, quickly, ill or well. CONJUNCTIONS join the words together; As men and women, wind or weather; The PREPOSITION stands before A noun, as in or through a door. The INTERJECTION shows surprise; As oh! how pretty! ah! how wise! The whole are called nine parts of speech, Which reading, writing, speaking teach. |
