***** NOT A TEACHER *****


Hello,

1. I believe that many learners (and native speakers, too!) get confused between "parts of speech" and "parts of a

sentence."

a. The traditional 8 parts of speech are: verb, noun, adjective, adverb, conjunction, preposition, pronoun, interjection.

(Words such as "subject" and "object" are not parts of speech. They are parts of the sentence.)

Your first sentence is a question. Many teachers tell us to put the words in regular order in order to analyze it.

i. So (only for the sake of analysis), your sentence is:

"You will book us a court for 3 p.m."

ii. In my humble opinion, the parts of speech are:

You = pronoun.
will = (auxiliary/ helping) verb.
book = main verb / base form of verb/ infinitive form of verb.
us = pronoun.
a = adjective.
court = noun.
for = preposition.
3 (three) p.m. = noun.

*****



P.S.

1. I think that you did a great job with your first sentence.

2. If a teacher disagrees with my analysis, you should believe the teacher, not me.

3. As the teacher poster has suggested, please try to post your answers to the other questions. Then someone will

be delighted to check your answers.


Best of luck,


James

Hello,

I was not satisfied with my analysis of your second sentence, so I have deleted it from my first post.

I have checked my books, and I now feel a little more confident.

Here is my analysis. I do not know exactly what your teacher wants, so my analysis may not be what you teacher is looking for.

I = pronoun.

need = verb.

to look = [This is the difficult part. My books tell me that "to look" is the infinitive form of the verb "look." In that sentence, the infinitive is the direct object of "need." It answers the question: need what? Thus, the infinitive "to look" is being used as a noun. But I have no idea what answer your teacher wants. Please let us know when your teacher gives the correct answers to the class.]

for = preposition.

my = possessive adjective.

math = [This is also difficult. "Math" is a noun, but it is being used as an adjective to describe the noun "book." Again, I do not know which answer your teacher expects.]

book = noun.
