  • And you probably know that there are several other types of words

  • Now listen up and let me tell you about the parts of speech.

  • A noun is a person or a place or at thing Like you or your school or all your bling-bling

  • But the tricky kinds of nouns are ideas and thoughts

  • Like your strength or intelligence Man there are lots of these nouns

  • To list them all, that would be impressive! But to describe them, all we need are adjectives

  • Like hot, cool, false, true, spicy, or bland And now I think you understand

  • So you wanna know about nouns, you wanna know about verbs

  • And you probably know that there are several other types of words

  • Now listen up and let me tell you about the parts of speech.

  • Verbs. That's what we call the action words Anything you can do, even if it's absurd

  • Whenever you eat, drink, move, think, go, or stop

  • Even if you just are, that's a verb that you've got

  • "But, Mr. Jackson, how do I describe these words?"

  • You use another part of speech we call adverbs Like loudly, proudly, and well, don't ask

  • me why, but Most of them end in -ly.

  • Whether an object is between, in, by, or below But it can also talk about time, as a matter

  • of fact; If something happened before this, or is gonna

  • operates So just make sure that the object is there

  • Or else you'll never know what goes where

  • same noun again It can be just a breeze, you see

  • Instead of names, saying "he" or "she"
