Parts of Speech - Worksheet

This worksheet is aimed at helping students identify different parts of speech within sentences. They are instructed to circle nouns, underline adjectives, and highlight verbs. The worksheet provides eight sentences as examples, with the first sentence already completed as a guide. Students are expected to apply their understanding of grammar to identify the parts of speech in each subsequent sentence. For instance, in the second sentence, "The heavy rain fell from the grey sky," 'rain' would be circled as the noun, 'heavy' and 'grey' would be underlined as adjectives, and 'fell' would be highlighted as the verb.

The second part of the worksheet challenges students to fill in the blanks with appropriate words and then identify their parts of speech. Each sentence contains two blanks, and students must decide on suitable words that fit the context, such as a noun, verb, or adjective. After completing the sentence, they are required to write down the part of speech for the word they have chosen. This exercise not only tests their grammar knowledge but also encourages them to think creatively about word choice in different contexts. For example, in the sentence "Nat and Sam slid down the hill on the red sledge," students would fill in 'slid' and 'red' in the blanks and then note 'slid' as a verb and 'red' as an adjective.
