ESL030 Graded Homework Assignment:
Parts of Speech & Subjects/Objects in Sentences

Directions: On a separate piece of notebook paper (or you may type this is you prefer), write 4 sentences that contain at least 1 of each of these Parts of Speech:

1. Noun

2. Pronoun

3. Adjective

4. Verb

5. Adverb

6. Conjunction

7. Preposition

You do not need to include an interjection. You may have more than 1 of each (for example, you might have 4 nouns, 3 adjectives, 2 verbs, etc.). At a minimum, you must have at least 1 of each of the parts of speech listed above.

Write your sentence on a line and write the part of speech UNDER the word. Then, identify the subject, object of the preposition (there must be one of these), and object of the verb (if there is one – you might only have an object of a preposition) ABOVE the appropriate word.
