Let's solve this Grade 3 English Worksheet on Parts of Speech. We need to identify the part of speech for each underlined word in the sentences and write it in the blank space.
---
- Underlined word: *thought*
- Analysis: "Thought" is the past tense of the verb "think."
- ✔ Part of speech: Verb
---
- Underlined word: *you*
- Analysis: "You" is a pronoun used to refer to the person being addressed.
- ✔ Part of speech: Pronoun
---
- Underlined word: *lovely*
- Analysis: "Lovely" describes the noun "evening" — it tells how the evening was.
- ✔ Part of speech: Adjective
---
- Underlined word: *stupid*
- Analysis: This sentence is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be "a stupid person" or "a stupid idea". But here, "stupid" is used as a noun (as a short form for "stupid person"). However, in standard English, "stupid" is primarily an adjective.
- But since it's used as a noun here (meaning "a foolish person"), even though it's informal/incorrect usage, we can interpret it as a noun.
- ✔ Part of speech: Noun *(Note: This sentence is awkward; likely intended as "a stupid person", but based on context, "stupid" is being used as a noun)*
> ⚠️ Note: This is a common error. In formal English, "stupid" is an adjective. But in informal speech, it can be used as a noun (e.g., "He's such a stupid!"). So in this context, it's treated as a noun.

- Underlined word: *best*
- Analysis: "Best" is the superlative form of the adjective "good." It modifies the noun "friend."
- ✔ Part of speech: Adjective
---
- Underlined word: *buy*
- Analysis: "Buy" is the base form of the verb, used after "to" (infinitive). It shows purpose.
- ✔ Part of speech: Verb (infinitive)
---
- Underlined word: *because*
- Analysis: "Because" introduces a reason — it connects two clauses and shows cause.
- ✔ Part of speech: Conjunction (subordinating conjunction)
---
- Underlined word: *my*
- Analysis: "My" shows possession — it modifies the noun "pen."
- ✔ Part of speech: Possessive adjective
---
- Underlined word: *shop*
- Analysis: "Shop" is a noun — it names a place where things are sold.
- ✔ Part of speech: Noun
---
- Underlined word: *still*
- Analysis: "Still" is an adverb showing contrast — it adds emphasis to the second clause despite the first.
- ✔ Part of speech: Adverb
