Hi everyone! Today we're going to talk about parts of speech. There are many, but
we will only look at three. Okay? We're going to talk about nouns, verbs, and
adjectives. So a noun is the name of a person place or thing.
So, Larissa, cup, Toronto (mm-hmm), living room: person place or thing. Person place or thing.
And a verb is often an action word, so you're doing something,
like run or breathe or look. And an adjective is a word that
describes a noun. So it could be something like fun, or blue, or crazy,
plastic. That's right. Okay, so we're going to show you some
words and you decide are they a noun, a verb, or an adjective.
I'm first. Ok, you go. What is it? I think that one is a noun.
Yes, sun. Okay, what about this one? Eat. It's something you do - it's a verb.
That's right, a verb. Blue. I think I alredy gave this as an example. You did! If you were paying
attention earlier, we know this one is an adjective.
Pencil. Pencil is a thing. A thing is a noun. A noun.
Big. This is describing a noun so that makes it an adjective
Happy. Happy is also describing a thing. Describing words are adjectives.
Like. This is something I do. I like something or someone, so this is a verb.
Oooo. We do this a lot. We DO this. It's a doing thing, an action. It's a verb.
And dog. That's a thing, so a noun.
Okay, Larissa, guess what we're gonna do now. Are we gonna play a game?
We're gonna play a game! So this is how the game works. I'm going to tell you four things,
nd they're all the same part of speech except for one. Okay, so I want you
to tell me which one doesn't match the others. So for example you will tell me
a noun, and noun, and adjective, and a noun. That's right. And I find the adjective
You find the adjective. Okay. Are you ready? I am. Okay, so here are my four words.
Run, walk, sing, book. Run, walk, sing, book. I hear three verbs. mm-hmm Book is different.
Book is the odd one out. It's a noun. You got it. Okay, my turn.
Table, teach, book, chair. Table, teach, book, and chair.
I think teach is the odd one out because it's a verb and all the others are nouns.
Okay, ready? Yeah. Pink, small, picture, soft.
Picture is different. Picture is a noun. You got it.
Picture could be a verb. It could be. Let's not talk about it. But the rest are adjectives, so it's
the odd one out. One more. Okay, jump, hand, ear, tongue. Jump. That's the
weird one out there. It's a verb and the rest are not just nouns, but body parts.
So to summarize, a noun is a person, a place, or a thing. A verb is an
action - something that you do. And an adjective is describing a noun
..describing a thing. Great. And you can use these words to build sentences. Exactly.
..which we are going to talk about in the future, so stay tuned.
