  11. TRICKY WORDS • Words like: that, this, those, these, here, and there are very tricky. • In most cases, those words are taking the place of a noun and serve as a pronoun in the sentence. • They also serve as direct and indirect objects. • For our practice, you can skip these words. We will be working with them later on.

  12. PRACTICE • Write down the following sentences in your notebook. Label each word with its part of speech. • My silly dog Sadie likes to dig in the garden. • You should always do your homework! • I like to eat pizza, but it isn’t very good for me. • Yay! I love going to school! • Ms. K went over parts of speech thoroughly, but I am still confused.

  14. Sentence 2: Youshouldalwaysdoyourhomework!
