Parts of Speech
It is important to understand that
every word in a sentence has a job
to do, a role in the sentence.
Parts of Speech FOLDABLE!
This foldable will help you learn the eight parts
of speech and their jobs.
Take out one piece of notebook paper with the
holes intact and follow the instructions so you
have a neat foldable that you can use to study.
