  3. Nouns and pronouns • Nouns: A person, a place, a thing • Be aware of abstract nouns—something your senses cannot detect—like happiness, bravery or trust. • A pronoun replaces a noun: he, she, it, his, her, their, etc.

  4. Verbs • Express action in a sentence • Express the state of being  is, was, becomes • Each sentence must contain a verb, known as “the predicate.” • The predicate must agree with the main noun or pronoun in the sentence, “the subject.”

  5. Adjectives • Words that describe or modify nouns • Adjectives usually come before nouns.

  6. Adverbs and Interjections Adverbs Interjections • Describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. • Often end in –ly • Can be located anywhere in a sentence. • Express emotion

  7. Conjunctions and Prepositions Conjunctions Prepositions • Join words, phrases, clauses, and sentences together. • Identify the relationship of a noun or a pronoun to the rest of the sentence.
