• A noun is a person, place, thing, or
idea.
• Nouns can be the subject of a
sentence, but nouns can also be
found in other parts of a sentence.
Kylie is a golfer.
The dog was
ready for a nap.
Love is a
beautiful
thing.

Grammar Rocks Noun Video
• Common Noun- A noun that names a general type of person, place, or thing.
athlete
school
 Proper Noun- A noun that names a specific person, place or thing. Proper nouns
always begin with a capital letter.

• Spencer Middle School is a great place to learn!
 Shopping at the Oakwood Mall can be
hectic during the holidays.
 I went to Rogers Cinema to watch the
movie Speed Racer.
 Caleb and Kylie are the best kids in the
world.
 Marathon County Library has many good
books to choose from.
• Now let’s try proper nouns. Remember they name a
specific person, place, or thing. What is the proper
noun in this sentence?
He walked across the Mackinaw Bridge.
a. he
b. Mackinaw Bridge
c. walked
Oops! If you chose he or walked, listen up. He is
not the proper noun because he can be referring to
anyone, and not someone specific. Walked is the
verb of the sentence. It tells what he is doing.
If you chose Mackinaw Bridge, you did excellent! Mackinaw Bridge is
the proper noun! It names a specific place.
• The cow jumped over the moon.
 We celebrated my birthday with a great,
big, chocolate cake.
 I ran the 5k race in town last week.
 The cherries were very tasty.
 I played basketball in gym class today.
• In the following sentence, what is the common noun?
Shaun cut the grass.
a. Shaun
b. cut
c. grass
If you chose Shaun or cut, you got it wrong. Shaun is a proper noun
because it names a specific person. The word cut is a verb because it
tells what Shaun is doing.
Yes! If you chose grass, you got it! Grass is the common noun in this
sentence because it is a general thing, and is not specific.
• A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun.
• Examples: I, me, my, you, your, he, she, it , us, we, they, them, his, her, their,
mine, our, myself, himself, herself, itself, yourself, themselves, ourselves, who,
whose, whom, anybody, anyone, it, this, everybody, nobody, someone,
somebody.

pronoun confusion – learning it the hard way

Grammar Rocks Pronoun Video
• A pronoun is word that takes the place of a noun. Instead of saying “Erin
likes to eat,” you could say, “She likes to eat.” What is the pronoun in the
following sentence?
I sing loudly in the shower.
a. sing
b. loudly
c. I
d. shower
If you chose sing or shower, you are confused. Sing
cannot be the pronoun because it is the action or
verb. Loudly describes how I was singing, so it is the
adjective. Shower is a thing, or noun. See if you can
find the pronoun.
• Awesome! I is the pronoun because it takes the place of a noun. I
replaces someone more specific like girl, boy, Bob, or Mrs. Much.
• A verb either shows the action in a sentence or links the subject to
another part of the sentence.

Grammar Rocks Verb Video
• An action verb shows what the subject is doing—the action. In the
example below, find the action verb.
Erin is running the 5K.
What is Erin doing?
a. Is
b. 5K
c. running
If you chose is or 5K, your answer is not correct. “Is” is a helping verb.
5K is a type of race which means it is a noun.
Running is the correct answer. Running is the action verb. It tells what
Erin is doing in the sentence.
• Linking verbs connect the subject to the predicate.
• A linking verb is sometimes called a copula (especially in college).
• A linking verb works like an equals sign does in math.
Lisa is a good friend
Lisa = good friend
Linking verbs can also replace action verbs.
action verb
Pears taste sweet.
Pears are sweet.
Pears = sweet
TIP: If the verb is not a physical or mental action, but it works like one in the
sentence, then it is a linking verb.

• A helping verb helps the main verb by adding detail
and extending the meaning of the verb.
• Helping verbs come before the main verb in a
sentence.

• An adjective is a word that describes a noun or
pronoun. It tells what kind, how many, or which
one.

Grammar Rocks Adjective Video
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. It tells what kind,
how many, or which one.
Here is an example:
Erin has blonde hair.
Which word describes in this sentence?
What is the adjective?
a. blonde
b. Erin
c. hair
The answer is not Erin or hair. Erin is a noun and the subject of the
sentence. Hair is also a noun. They do not describe anything.
If you said blonde, That’s right! Blonde is the correct answer because
blonde describes Erin’s hair! Great work.
Adverbs describe how the action is performed. Adverbs
tell how much, how often, when, and where something is
done.
Adverbs often end in the letters ly.
The fish
jumped
quickly
from the
water.
The man
sat alone.

Grammar Rock Adverb Video
An adverb describes how the action is performed.
Adverbs tell how much, how often, when, and where
something is done.
Erin ran the 5K quickly.
How did she run the 5K?
a. Erin
b. ran
c. quickly
Adverbs are challenging! If you said Erin or ran, you were wrong. Erin is
the noun, and the subject of the sentence. Ran is the verb because it
tells what action Erin is doing. What describes how Erin ran?
If you chose quickly, you did fantastic! I am impressed! The adverb in
the sentence is quickly because it tells how Erin ran the 5K race.
• A preposition is a word that shows the position or direction between the
noun/pronoun and the rest of the sentence.
• Some examples are: in, out, under, over, after, out, into, up, down, for, and
between.
She
worked at
her desk.
The sun was
in the sky.

Grammar Rocks Preposition Video
• A preposition is a word that shows position or direction. Some
examples are in, out, under, over, after, out, into, up, down, for, and
between. Try this.
I ran towards the school bus.
Ask yourself first, “What did I do?” I ran.
Now ask, “Where (to what position or direction) did I run?”
What is the preposition in this sentence?
a. towards
b. ran
c. school bus
If you chose ran or school bus, you are confused. Ran is the verb in the
sentence because it tells the action. School bus is a noun because it is a
thing. Did you ask yourself the question, “Which direction did I run?”
If you said towards, you are correct! Towards is the
preposition of this sentence because it tells the
direction that I ran. Awesome work!
• An interjection is a word that expresses strong
emotion or surprise. Such examples are Wow!,
Ouch!, Hurray!, and Oh no!
• Interjections can really liven up a sentence. They
help to add voice to your writing.

Grammar Rocks Interjection Video
• An interjection is a word that shows strong emotion or surprise. Such examples are Wow!,
Ouch!, Hurray!, and Oh no!
• Interjections can really liven up a sentence. They help to add voice to your writing. Check this
out.
Whew! I am so glad to have passed my exam.
The word “Whew!” shows that I am relieved about passing my exam. Now you try it.
Wow! You did a fabulous job.
What is the interjection in this sentence?
a. job
b. fabulous
c. Wow!
Oops! If you said job or fabulous you were wrong. The word job is a
noun because it is a thing. It really does not show emotion. Fabulous is
a great word, but in this sentence it is used as an adjective since it
describes the job you did.
Superb! (That is also an interjection) The correct answer is Wow! The
word Wow! shows excitement and emotion.
A conjunction is a connecting word that joins words
or word groups together. Some examples of
conjunctions are: and, but, or, nor, although, yet, so,
either, and also.
We ate pizza
and drank pop
for dinner.

Grammar Rocks Conjunction Video
A conjunction is a word that connects or joins words or
word groups together. Some examples conjunctions are:
and, but, or, nor, although, yet, so, either, and also. Check
out this example:
Erin loves to swim and play at the beach.
What is the conjunction in this sentence?
a. beach
b. swim, play
c. at
d. and
Sorry! If you said beach or thing, you got it wrong.
Beach is a thing, and a thing is always a noun. Swim
and play are action verbs. They tell what Erin is doing.
At is a preposition because it shows the position.
Great! And is the conjunction in this sentence because it connects two
word groups. Erin loves to swim AND play at the beach.
Great job everyone! The parts of speech are very
difficult. Let’s do a review to be sure you know what
each part of speech is.
