Parts of speech

[Dixie]

I would like to know if anyone can recommend some worksheets for a 10th grade student having problems with Nouns Verbs Ajectives and Adverbs.
Her school techer gives her one part of speech and she has to give the other parts ie proposition, to propose etc. Even I find some of the ones she is given hard to do and have to think about them!!!

Nouns describe things or people or animals:

butter car woman dog problem

Some nouns (proper nouns) are the names of people, places and things.
We begin proper nouns with capital letters:

Alan, Brian, Monday, April, English, Swiss, Jane, Paris, Oxford Street, June, a Rolls-Royce, the Tower of London

3
Verbs describe actions:

work play live meet stay see

They work hard. (work = verb) I saw Peter. (saw = verb)

4
We use auxiliary verbs (be, have, do, will, can, may, must, etc.) before another verb:

They are working hard. I have seen Peter. I must go now. He can see you.

5
We put ADJECTIVES (e.g. wonderful) before nouns:

We had a WONDERFUL day.

We can also use adjectives after the verbs be, look, seem, feel:

He’s hungry. She looks tired.

Sometimes we put very before adjectives:

It’s very hot today. He bought a very expensive car.

6
We normally use adverbs to describe verbs:

She walked quickly. He sings well.

Most adverbs end in ly: clearly slowly badly

7
We use pronouns (I, you, he, she, etc.) to replace nouns:

David has a new job. He is enjoying it.

8
We use prepositions (in, on, at, etc.) when we are talking about places and times:

place: She’s at home. It’s in the box.
time: I’ll see you on Monday. They went on holiday in June.
