Parts of Speech

What is it?

  • Different words play different roles, or jobs, in building a sentence. We call these jobs "parts of speech."

How do we use it?
  • Strong readers use their knowledge of parts of speech to break down complex sentences and understand tricky texts.
  • Strong writers use their knowledge of parts of speech to write clear and strong sentences that make sense.
