Grammar in poem ...

A noun is the name of anything - a school garden, kite or king.

Adjectives tell the kind of noun - as great, small, pretty, yellow or brown.

Instead of nouns the pronouns stand - his head, her face, your arm, my hand.

Verbs tell of something being done - to read, count, carry, laugh or run.

How things are done the adverbs tell - as slowly, quickly ill or well.

Conjunctions join the words together - as men and women, wind and weather.

The preposition stands before - a noun as in or through a door.

The interjections show surprise - as oh, how pretty, how wise.

These little words you often use are articles - a, an and the.

The whole are called parts of speech while reading, writing,  speaking, teaching.
