\\
+
DIRECTIONS:
For this presentation, you will
need to take careful and
detailed notes in the MUGS
section of your binder. After
this slide, make sure to get the
notes and respond to each
question and example.
+ Goal: Evaluate word functions and
relationships through study of
parts of speech.

By the end of this unit, I will be able to identify the part of
speech of any word in any sentence.

Self-assessment:
BEFORE: Rate your mastery of parts of speech (4, 3, 2, 1)
+ THINK-PAIR-SHARE:
 With
a partner, discuss
and compose your
responses to the
following:
 Define
the phrase “parts
of speech”.
 What
is the purpose of
studying parts of speech?
 Which
parts of speech are
most difficult to master
and why?
+
How much do I know?

Label each underlined word with its part of speech:

I have a dog.

She has a crooked tooth.

Her name is Snaggles.
+ Find the Nouns: people, places,
things ideas.
Find the Adjectives: describe the
nouns.
Find the Pronouns: replace the
nouns.
 Ex: My
dog Snaggles is a chihuahua.
+ What other types of pronouns do I
need to know besides the personal
pronouns?

Demonstrative pronouns: point out a specific noun :
this, that, these, those
Ex: This is the dog who sleeps all day.

Interrogative pronouns: introduce a question
who, whom, which, what, whose
Ex: Who could love such a lazy dog?
Relative pronouns: introduce a subordinate clause:
That, which, who, whom, whose
Ex: The dog that we found was quite the couch potato.
+
One more type of pronoun:
The Indefinite Pronoun

The indefinite pronoun refers to a noun that
isn’t specifically named:

Ex: Not everyone likes small, lazy old dogs,
but we do.

List: all, another, any, anybody, anyone,
anything, both, each, either, everyone,
everything, few, many, more, most, much,
neither, nobody, none, no one, nothing, one,
other, several, some, somebody, something,
such.

Ex: However, anyone could tell you that she
is a sweet dog that would never hurt
anybody.
+
Indefinite Pronouns:
singular or plural?
+
Pronoun-antecedent Agreement:
Pronoun=replaces a noun/pronoun
Antecedent=the noun/pronoun it
replaces
+
DO NOW:
Identify the correct verb or
pronoun choice, depending on
whether the indefinite pronoun is
singular or plural:

Each of the students is/are studying
for the quiz.

Everybody who came to class, shut
off his/her/their phone.

Of the students, several are/is riding
his/her/their bikes to school today.
+
Find the Verbs: words that express
action or a state of being

Ex: One day we saw Snaggles wasn’t eating her
dinner.

Every verb must have a tense, which tell us when
it is happening.

Action verbs: show an action

Linking verbs: connect the subject to a word or
group of words that identify or describe the
subject.

What are the most common linking verbs?
Appear, be, become, feel, grow, look, remain, seem,
smell, sound, stay, taste, turn
+
To be verbs: in all their forms and glory

Be
shall be
should be

Being
will be
would be

Am
has been
can be

Is
have been
could be

Are
had been
should have been

Was
shall have been
would have been

Were
will have been
could have been
+
Find the linking verb:

Snaggles appeared withdrawn and didn’t touch food for a
whole day.

Snaggles was miserable because her tooth hurt.

The doctors were sure that she had an infection in her
snaggle tooth!

We grew sad at the news.

I felt that we had to have her tooth removed.
+
Some verbs can be action or
linking:
Identify the verbs as linking or action:

I smelled the chocolate cake.

The chocolate cake smells delicious.

I looked around to see if the cake belonged to anybody.

It looked like it was up for grabs!

I felt like eating it.

However, I dropped my glasses, so I have to feel the table to
find it.
+ Verbs sometimes have helpers:
Helping verbs help the main verb
express and action or state of
being.

They are usually a form of “to be.”

Helping verbs precede the main verb.

Together the main verb and helping verb create a verb
phrase.

Other helping verbs: can could, did, do, does, had, has, have,
may, might, must, shall, should, will, would.

Ex: We have waited a couple days and the tooth drama has
not subsided.

Ex: We realized we may need to get her surgery as soon as
possible.
+
Linking verbs vs. Helping verbs
+
Find the adverbs: modify verbs,
adjectives or other adverbs

Often end in “-ly”

Tell us how, how often, when,
where or to what extent.

When Snaggles finally
returned home to us, she
looked so different.

She was very happy to munch
away on an unusually big meal
though.
+ Find the prepositions: show the
relationship of a noun or pronoun
to another word.

Prepositions locate a noun or pronoun in space, time
or direction.

They begin a prepositional phrase.

The prepositional phrase begins with a preposition
and ends with a noun or pronoun.

Hints:
The bird flew ___ the clouds.
The ball went ___ the box.

They have a song to help you remember them.

Ex: When I look at Snaggles I miss her strange old
toothy grin.

Ex: Without her snaggletooth she looks like any old
dog.

Amid, among, after, at

Except, for, during, down

Behind, below, beneath, beside

By, in, from, off, on, over, of

Until, unto, upon

Under, underneath, since, up



With, within, without, instead

+
Find the conjunction: a word that
joins words or word groups.

Coordinating conjunctions: join groups
of words used the same way.

FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so

Correlative conjunctions: come in pairs
and also join groups of words used the
same way.

both…and, either…or, not only…but
also, neither…nor, whether…or

Ex: Whether she has her tooth or not
though she is special to us.
+
Coordinating vs. Correlative
Conjunctions
+
Subordinating Conjunctions: begin
a subordinating (dependent
clause)

After, although, as, as if, as long as, as soon as, because,
before, even though, if, in order that, once, since, so that, than,
though, unless, until, when, whenever, where, wherever,
whether, while

Some may also be used as prepositions.

Ex: Although Snaggles hates cats, she accepts them.

Ex: She doesn’t mind them most of the time, unless they enter
her personal space.

Ex: As soon as they get too close to her, she growls baring the
few teeth she has left.
+
How can I remember important
subordinating conjunctions?
+
What is the comma rule for
subordinating conjunctions?

Goal: Evaluate word functions and
relationships through study of
parts of speech.

sentence?
