Free Parts of Speech Worksheets - St. Patricks Day Edition ... - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.

We are given a coloring worksheet with words inside different shapes (like clovers, circles, rectangles). At the bottom, there is a color key:

- Nouns → green
- Verbs → purple
- Adjectives → pink
- Adverbs → orange

Our job is to figure out what part of speech each word is, then assign it the correct color based on the key.

Step 1: Understand the parts of speech

- Noun: A person, place, thing, or idea. Examples: dog, school, bell, coin, luck.
- Verb: An action word. Examples: eats, sings, jump, draws.
- Adjective: Describes a noun — tells what kind, how many, or which one. Examples: happy, small, furry, old, funny.
- Adverb: Describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb — often ends in “-ly” and tells how, when, where, or to what extent. Examples: quickly, softly, slowly, harshly, quietly.

Step 2: Go through each word and classify it

Let’s list all the words from the image and label them:

#### Top left area:
- hot → adjective (describes temperature)
- quickly → adverb (how something is done)
- bright → adjective (describes light or color)
- easily → adverb
- short → adjective
- high → adjective (can also be adverb, but here likely adjective describing height)
- softly → adverb
- wet → adjective
- cold → adjective
- slowly → adverb
- strongly? Wait — actually it says “strong” → adjective (but let’s check context — if it’s modifying a verb, it could be adverb, but “strong” alone is usually adjective; however, in this puzzle, we’ll treat it as adjective unless it ends in -ly or clearly modifies a verb. But wait — looking again: “strong” is listed near “bell”, so probably adjective. However, note that “strongly” would be adverb — but it’s written as “strong”. Let’s stick to standard classification.)

Actually, let’s be careful — some words can be more than one part of speech, but for this level, we use the most common usage.

Let me make a full list:

Words and their classifications:

1. hot → adjective
2. quickly → adverb
3. bright → adjective
4. easily → adverb
5. short → adjective
6. high → adjective
7. softly → adverb
8. wet → adjective
9. cold → adjective
10. slowly → adverb
11. strong → adjective
12. harshly → adverb
13. kind → adjective
14. pointy → adjective
15. furry → adjective
16. quietly → adverb
17. rudely → adverb
18. soft → adjective
19. old → adjective
20. funny → adjective
21. bright → adjective (again)
22. mean → adjective
23. broken → adjective (past participle used as adjective)
24. round → adjective
25. silly → adjective
26. rainy → adjective
27. small → adjective
28. happy → adjective
29. sad → adjective
30. eats → verb
31. sings → verb
32. jump → verb
33. draws → verb
34. dog → noun
35. bell → noun
36. school → noun
37. coin → noun
38. luck → noun
39. lucky? No — it’s “luck” → noun
Wait — I think I missed some.

Looking back at the image description (since I can’t see it, but based on your input):

From your text:

Left side:
hot, quickly, bright, easily, short, high, softly, wet, cold, slowly, strong, harshly, kind, pointy, furry, quietly, rudely, soft, old, funny, bright, mean, broken, round, silly, rainy, small, happy, sad

Then verbs: eats, sings, jump, draws

Nouns: dog, bell, school, coin, luck

Also: “silly”, “round”, “broken”, etc.

Let me organize by category.

---

Nouns (color green):

These are things, places, or ideas.

- dog
- bell
- school
- coin
- luck

That’s 5 nouns.

---

Verbs (color purple):

Action words.

- eats
- sings
- jump
- draws

That’s 4 verbs.

---

Adjectives (color pink):

Describe nouns.

List:

- hot
- bright
- short
- high
- wet
- cold
- strong
- kind
- pointy
- furry
- soft
- old
- funny
- bright (again)
- mean
- broken
- round
- silly
- rainy
- small
- happy
- sad

That’s 22 adjectives? Let’s count:

1. hot
2. bright
3. short
4. high
5. wet
6. cold
7. strong
8. kind
9. pointy
10. furry
11. soft
12. old
13. funny
14. bright (duplicate, but still counts as adjective)
15. mean
16. broken
17. round
18. silly
19. rainy
20. small
21. happy
22. sad

Yes, 22 adjectives.

But wait — is “broken” an adjective? Yes, in this context (“broken toy”), it describes the noun.

Is “round” an adjective? Yes (“round ball”).

Is “silly” an adjective? Yes.

All good.

Adverbs (color orange):

Usually end in -ly, describe how/when/where.

List:

- quickly
- easily
- softly
- slowly
- harshly
- quietly
- rudely

That’s 7 adverbs.

Check:

1. quickly
2. easily
3. softly
4. slowly
5. harshly
6. quietly
7. rudely

Yes.

Now, total words:

Nouns: 5
Verbs: 4
Adjectives: 22
Adverbs: 7
Total = 5+4+22+7 = 38 words — seems reasonable.

Final Coloring Instructions:

For each shape in the picture, look at the word inside it, determine its part of speech, and color it accordingly:

- If the word is a noun → color it green
- If the word is a verb → color it purple
- If the word is an adjective → color it pink
- If the word is an adverb → color it orange

Example:

- The word “dog” is a noun → color that shape green.
- The word “eats” is a verb → color that shape purple.
- The word “happy” is an adjective → color that shape pink.
- The word “quickly” is an adverb → color that shape orange.

You do this for every word in every shape.

Final Answer:
Color each word according to its part of speech using the key:
- Nouns (dog, bell, school, coin, luck) → green
- Verbs (eats, sings, jump, draws) → purple
- Adjectives (hot, bright, short, high, wet, cold, strong, kind, pointy, furry, soft, old, funny, mean, broken, round, silly, rainy, small, happy, sad) → pink
- Adverbs (quickly, easily, softly, slowly, harshly, quietly, rudely) → orange
