Parts of Speech worksheet with words to categorize into Noun, Verb, and Adjective.

Let’s go step by step to sort each word into the correct category: Noun, Verb, or Adjective.

First, remember what each part of speech means:

- Noun: A person, place, thing, or animal. (Example: dog, school, car)
- Verb: An action word — something you do. (Example: run, eat, jump)
- Adjective: A describing word — tells us more about a noun. (Example: big, red, happy)

Now let’s look at each word one by one:

1. dark → describes something (like “dark room”) → Adjective
2. clean → can be an adjective (“clean shirt”) OR a verb (“I clean my room”). But in this list, it’s most likely meant as an adjective since we’re sorting basic parts of speech for beginners. We’ll put it under Adjective.
3. study → you do this — it’s an action → Verb
4. clever → describes someone smart → Adjective
5. touch → you do this with your hand → Verb
6. fork → a thing you eat with → Noun
7. cloudy → describes the sky → Adjective
8. kite → a thing you fly → Noun
9. horse → an animal → Noun
10. walk → you do this with your legs → Verb
11. cow → an animal → Noun
12. write → you do this with a pen → Verb

Now let’s group them:

Nouns: fork, kite, horse, cow
Verbs: study, touch, walk, write
Adjectives: dark, clean, clever, cloudy

Wait — let’s double-check “clean”. Could it be a verb? Yes, but in elementary worksheets like this, if a word can be both, they usually expect the most common beginner usage. Since “clean” is often taught first as an adjective (e.g., “a clean plate”), and we already have 4 verbs, it fits better here as an adjective to balance the groups.

Also, all categories should have 4 words each — that makes sense for this worksheet layout.

Final grouping:

✔ Noun: fork, kite, horse, cow
✔ Verb: study, touch, walk, write
✔ Adjective: dark, clean, clever, cloudy

Noun: fork, kite, horse, cow

Adjective: dark, clean, clever, cloudy
