Parts of Speech PowerPoints That Are Interactive & Fun

How to teach parts of speech in a fun and engaging way? Start with interactive lesson visuals! In this post I’ll share several parts of speech PowerPoints make teaching grammar both easy and fun. Take a look at these easy to use lesson slides and think about how you can use them in your lessons!

Parts of Speech PowerPoints

The more activities to teach parts of speech , you have in your teacher toolkit the better.  Students need a variety of ways to practice grammar skills.

15-Minute Mini-lessons

At the beginning of each week of grammar lessons, I introduce a new part of speech in a brief and direct mini-lesson. In this mini-lesson, I model the skill we are focusing on for the week.

I use the lesson slides in the PowerPoints to introduce the grammar skill and provide examples. These guide students through the mini-lesson by providing examples and show how the target part of speech is used in context.

Short, targeted mini-lessons easily fit into your schedule and are most beneficial to young students when they are direct and clear. Students can fully focus on one specific skill, see examples, generate their own examples and then practice independently in writing or or with the game slides.

Interactive Slides Make Practicing Fun

Interactive slides allow students to truly participate and are an essential component to my parts of speech PowerPoints. The interactive practice slides have moveable parts that can be manipulated by students for practice or used by teachers to model the lesson.

Include Partner Work

Partner work is important and helpful in the elementary classroom. It keeps students engaged and accountable and allows them to teach and learn from one another. Explaining to a partner what they’ve just learned reinforces their understanding and helps to build oral language and social skills.

Each parts of speech PowerPoint includes opportunities for students to work with a partner using the turn-and-talk and partner practice activities.

Parts of Speech PowerPoints & No-Prep Activities

These PowerPoints are part of a complete series of second grade grammar units . Each unit includes lessons and activities that are no-prep, ready to use, and easy to implement.

Each grammar unit includes everything you need to teach, practice, and assess all 2nd grade grammar and language skills and standards in just 15 minutes or less each day.

Click HERE to see the yearlong series of second grade grammar units available separately or in money-saving bundles.

These interactive grammar lessons will engage your students and make learning parts of speech fun!

Verbs • What is a verb? • The verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence. A verb or compound verb asserts something about the subject of the sentence and express actions, events, or states of being. The verb or compound verb is the critical element of the predicate of a sentence. Verb: “bite” Verb: “walk” Verb: “explode”

Examples of Verbs • Dracula bites his victims on the neck. • The verb "bites" describes the action Dracula takes. • In early October, Giselle will plant twenty tulip bulbs. • Here the compound verb "will plant" describes an action that will take place in the future. • My first teacher was Miss Crawford, but I remember the janitor Mr. Weatherbee more vividly. • In this sentence, the verb "was" (the simple past tense of "is") identifies a particular person and the verb "remembered" describes a mental action. • Karl Creelman bicycled around the world in 1899, but his diaries and his bicycle were destroyed. • In this sentence, the compound verb "were destroyed" describes an action which took place in the past.

Nouns • A noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing, and abstract idea. Noun: rocket Noun: clock Noun: wrench

Types of Nouns Holland March • Proper Nouns • You always write a proper noun with a capital letter, since the noun represents the name of a specific person, place, or thing. The names of days of the week, months, historical documents, institutions, organizations, religions, their holy texts and their adherents are proper nouns. A proper noun is the opposite of a common noun • Example of Proper Noun: Beltane is celebrated on the first of May. • Common Nouns • A common noun is a noun referring to a person, place, or thing in a general sense -- usually, you should write it with a capital letter only when it begins a sentence. A common noun is the opposite of a proper noun. • Example of Common Noun: According to the sign, the nearest town is 60 miles away. alligator

Types of Nouns (continued) • Concrete Nouns • A concrete noun is a noun which names anything (or anyone) that you can perceive through your physical senses: touch, sight, taste, hearing, or smell. A concrete noun is the opposite of a abstract noun. • Example of Concrete Noun: The judge handed the files to the clerk. • Abstract Nouns • An abstract noun is a noun which names anything which you can not perceive through your five physical senses, and is the opposite of a concrete noun. • Example of an abstract noun: Buying the fire extinguisher was an afterthought. • Collective Nouns • A collective noun is a noun naming a group of things, animals, or persons. You could count the individual members of the group, but you usually think of the group as a whole is generally as one unit. You need to be able to recognize collective nouns in order to maintain subject-verb agreement. A collective noun is similar to a non-countable noun, and is roughly the opposite of a countable noun. • Example of collective noun: The class was startled by the bursting light bulb.

Types of Nouns (continued) • Countable Nouns • A countable noun (or count noun) is a noun with both a singular and a plural form, and it names anything (or anyone) that you can count. You can make a countable noun can be made plural and attach it to a plural verb in a sentence. Countable nouns are the opposite of non-countable nouns and collective nouns. • Example of countable noun: Miriam found six silver dollars in the toe of a sock. • Non-countable Nouns • A non-countable noun (or mass noun) is a noun which does not have a plural form, and which refers to something that you could (or would) not usually count. A non-countable noun always takes a singular verb in a sentence. Non-countable nouns are similar to collective nouns, and are the opposite of countable nouns. • Example of a non-countable noun: The crew spread the gravel over the roadbed.

Pronouns • A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive. • Personal Pronoun • A personal pronoun refers to a specific person or thing and changes its form to indicate person, number, gender, and case. Pronoun: she Pronoun: he Pronoun: they

Types of Pronouns (continued) • Subjective Personal Pronouns • A subjective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as the subject of the sentence. The subjective personal pronouns are "I," "you," "she," "he," "it," "we," "you," "they." • Example of a subjective personal pronoun: You are surely the strangest child I have ever met. • Objective Personal Pronouns • An objective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as an object of a verb, compound verb, preposition, or infinitive phrase. The objective personal pronouns are: "me," "you," "her," "him," "it," "us," "you," and "them." • Example of an objective personal pronoun: Give the list to me. • Possessive Personal Pronouns • A possessive pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as a marker of possession and defines who owns a particular object or person. The possessive personal pronouns are "mine," "yours," "hers," "his," "its," "ours," and "theirs." Note that possessive personal pronouns are very similar to possessive adjectives like "my," "her," and "their." • Example of a possessive personal pronoun: The smallest gift is mine.

Types of Pronouns (continued) • Demonstrative Pronouns • A demonstrative pronoun points to and identifies a noun or a pronoun. "This" and "these" refer to things that are nearby either in space or in time, while "that" and "those" refer to things that are farther away in space or time. • Example of a subjective demonstrative pronoun: This is puny; that is the tree I want. • Interrogative Pronoun • An interrogative pronoun is used to ask questions. The interrogative pronouns are "who," "whom," "which," "what" and the compounds formed with the suffix "ever" ("whoever," "whomever," "whichever," and "whatever"). Note that either "which" or "what" can also be used as an interrogative adjective, and that "who," "whom," or "which" can also be used as a relative pronoun. • Example of an interrogative pronoun: Whom do you think we should invite? • Relative Pronouns • You can use a relative pronoun is used to link one phrase or clause to another phrase or clause. The relative pronouns are "who," "whom," "that," and "which." The compounds "whoever," "whomever," and "whichever" are also relative pronouns. • Example of a relative pronoun: Whoever broke the window will have to replace it.

Types of Pronouns (continued) • Indefinite Pronouns • An indefinite pronoun is a pronoun referring to an identifiable but not specified person or thing. An indefinite pronoun conveys the idea of all, any, none, or some. • Example of a indefinite pronoun: Many were invited to the lunch but only twelve showed up. • Reflexive Pronouns • You can use a reflexive pronoun to refer back to the subject of the clause or sentence. • Example of a reflexive pronoun: Diabetics give themselves insulin shots several times a day • Intensive Pronouns • An intensive pronoun is a pronoun used to emphasize its antecedent. Intensive pronouns are identical in form to reflexive pronouns. • Example of an intensive pronoun: The Prime Minister himself said that he would lower taxes.

Adjectives • An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. An adjective usually precedes the noun or the pronoun which it modifies. Adjective: yellow Adjective: broken Adjective: smelly

Types of Adjectives our your • Possessive Adjectives • A possessive adjective (``my,'' ``your,'' ``his,'' ``her,'' ``its,'' ``our,'' ``their'') is similar or identical to a possessive pronoun; however, it is used as an adjective and modifies a noun or a noun phrase, as in the following sentences: • Example of a possessive adjective: What is your phone number. • Demonstrative Adjectives • The demonstrative adjectives ``this,'' ``these,'' ``that,'' ``those,'' and ``what'' are identical to the demonstrative pronouns, but are used as adjectives to modify nouns or noun phrases, • Example of a demonstrative adjective: Even though my friend preferred those plates, I bought these. those

Types of Adjectives (continued) • Interrogative Adjectives • An interrogative adjective (``which'' or ``what'') is like an interrogative pronoun, except that it modifies a noun or noun phrase rather than standing on its own (see also demonstrative adjectives and possessive adjectives): • Example of an interrogative adjective: What book are you reading? • Indefinite Adjectives • An indefinite adjective is similar to an indefinite pronoun, except that it modifies a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase. • Example of an indefinite adjective: Many people believe that corporations are under-taxed.

patiently Adverbs quickly • An adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a clause. An adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause, or degree and answers questions such as "how," "when," "where," "how much". It is often identified because of its “-ly” ending. • Example of an adverb: The midwives waited patiently through a long labor. • Conjunctive Adverbs • You can use a conjunctive adverb to join two clauses together. Some of the most common conjunctive adverbs are "also," "consequently," "finally," "furthermore," "hence," "however," "incidentally," "indeed," "instead," "likewise," "meanwhile," "nevertheless," "next," "nonetheless," "otherwise," "still," "then," "therefore," and "thus." A conjunctive adverb is not strong enough to join two independent clauses without the aid of a semicolon. • Example of a conjunctive adverb: The government has cut university budgets; consequently, class sizes have been increased. boldly

Prepositions • A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the preposition. A preposition usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence. • Example of a preposition: The book is on the table. • Example of a preposition: The book is beside the table.

Prepositional Phrase • A prepositional phrase is made up of the preposition, its object and any associated adjectives or adverbs. A prepositional phrase can function as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. • The most common prepositions are "about," "above," "across," "after," "against," "along," "among," "around," "at," "before," "behind," "below," "beneath," "beside," "between," "beyond," "but," "by," "despite," "down," "during," "except," "for," "from," "in," "inside," "into," "like," "near," "of," "off," "on," "onto," "out," "outside," "over," "past," "since," "through," "throughout," "till," "to," "toward," "under," "underneath," "until," "up," "upon," "with," "within," and "without." • Example of a prepositional phrase: The spider crawled slowly along the banister.

Conjunctions yet • You can use a conjunction to link words, phrases, and clauses. • Examples of a conjunction: • I ate the pizza and the pasta. • Call the movers when you are ready. but Nor And

Conjunctions • Coordinating Conjunctions • You use a coordinating conjunction ("and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," or "yet") to join individual words, phrases, and independent clauses. Note that you can also use the conjunctions "but" and "for" as prepositions. • Examples of a coordinating conjunction: Lilacs and violets are usually purple. • Subordinating Conjunctions • A subordinating conjunction introduces a dependent clause and indicates the nature of the relationship among the independent clause(s) and the dependent clause(s). The most common subordinating conjunctions are "after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that," "though," "till," "until," "when," "where," "whether," and "while.“ • Example of a subordinating conjunctions: After she had learned to drive, Alice felt more independent. • Correlative Conjunctions • Correlative conjunctions always appear in pairs -- you use them to link equivalent sentence elements. The most common correlative conjunctions are "both...and," "either...or," "neither...nor,", "not only...but also," "so...as," and "whether...or." (Technically correlative conjunctions consist simply of a coordinating conjunction linked to an adjective or adverb.) • Example of a correlative conjunction: Bring either a Jello salad or a potato salad.

Interjections Hi! Wow! • An interjection is a word added to a sentence to convey emotion. It is not grammatically related to any other part of the sentence. You usually follow an interjection with an exclamation mark. Interjections are uncommon in formal academic prose, except in direct quotations. • Example of an interjection: • Ouch, that hurt! • Hey! Watch Out! Oh dear! Oh No!
