St1: She comes by night, in
fearsome flight,
In garments black as pitch,
The Queen of Doom upon her
broom,
The wild and wicked witch,
Cracked and chipped and
crackled lips
That frame a toothless grin.
St4: She hurtles by, she sweeps
the sky
And hurls a piercing screech.
St2: A cackling crone with brittle As she swoops past, a spell is cast
bones
On all her curses reach.
And desiccated limbs,
Two evil eyes with warts and sties St5: Take care to hide when the
And bags about the rims,
wild witch rides
To shriek her evil spell.
St3: A dangling nose, ten twisted What she may do with a word or
toes

 A word that takes the place of a noun.
 I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, you,
him, her, it, us, them, my, your, yours,
his, her, hers, its, our, ours, their,
theirs
 Subject pronouns: are used when the pronoun is
the subject of the sentence.
 You can remember subject pronouns easily by
filling in the blank subject space for a simple
sentence.
 Example: ______ did the job.
I, you, he, she, it, we, and they all fit into the blank
and are, therefore, subject pronouns.
 Object pronouns: pronouns that take the
place of objects.
 Object pronouns are me, you, him, her, it,
us, and them.
 So what’s the difference between a subject of a sentence
and an object?
 A subject is something that does something. An object is
something that gets things done to it.
Jill went to the store.
Jill did something --she's the subject. The sentence is really
about her. The verb ("went") describes what Jill did.
The store: Got something done to it (had Jill go to it). No
verbs to describe anything about the store.
 Possessive pronouns show ownership and
never need apostrophes. (tells whose it is)
 Possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers,
its, ours, theirs
 Adverbs: modify verbs, adjectives,
or other adverbs.
 Adverbs can make your writing
more precise, interesting, and
dramatic by telling more about the
verbs in your sentences.
 When adverbs modify verbs, they
usually tell how, when, or where.
 Examples: How did Josh run? He ran
quickly. When did Josh run? He ran
yesterday. Where did Josh run? He
ran away.
 When adverbs modify adjectives, they
usually tell how or to what extent.
 Examples:
 How silly is Mr. Bernstein?
 He is very silly.
 To what extent is Ms. Wynn
serious?
 She is too serious.
Adverbs can also modify other adverbs
by telling how or to what extent.
 Examples:
 How does Marc skate?
 He skates very fast.
 To what extent does Anna
understand German?
 She understands it extremely well.

 Many but not all adverbs end in –ly.
 The words “not” and “never” are always
adverbs.
 Examples: Darryl would not eat his
liverwurst sandwich. (Not is an adverb
modifying the verb eat.)
 My stepfather’s stories are never boring.
(Never is an adverb modifying the
adjective boring.)
How?
When?
Where?
To what extent?
 A word used to express emotion!
 Examples:
 Hey! Did you see those deer?
 Well, we played hard and did our best.
 We could, oh, have a picnic.
 Ugh! I should have caught that ball.
 Where is the interjection in the following sentences?
 Ah, now I understand what to do.
 Ouch! Another mosquito bit me.
 Oh! What beautiful flowers those are!
