English Unite - Parts of Speech Worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to sort each word into the correct part of speech.

We have these categories:
- Noun
- Verb
- Pronoun
- Adjective
- Adverb
- Preposition
- Conjunction
- Interjection

And we have this list of words:

did, me, blue, Mary, I, she, and, America, know, quickly, in, excellent, on, Ouch!, but, cat, under, Shh!, kindly, herself, so, want, easy, slowly, Phew!, he, be, house, carefully, Wow!, between, run, or, pen, modern, pretty, now, if, Gosh!, behind

---

Step 1: Identify Nouns (people, places, things)

→ Mary (person)
→ America (place)
→ cat (thing/animal)
→ house (thing)
→ pen (thing)

That’s 5 nouns.

---

Step 2: Identify Verbs (action or state words)

→ did (past action)
→ know (mental action)
→ want (desire/action)
→ be (state of being)
→ run (physical action)

That’s 5 verbs.

Note: “be” is a verb even though it’s not an action — it shows existence or state.

---

Step 3: Identify Pronouns (words that replace nouns)

→ me (object pronoun)
→ I (subject pronoun)
→ she (subject pronoun)
→ herself (reflexive pronoun)
→ he (subject pronoun)

That’s 5 pronouns.

---

Step 4: Identify Adjectives (describe nouns)

→ blue (color)
→ excellent (quality)
→ easy (difficulty)
→ modern (time/style)
→ pretty (appearance)

That’s 5 adjectives.

---

Step 5: Identify Adverbs (describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs — often end in -ly)

→ quickly (how something is done)
→ kindly (manner)
→ slowly (speed)
→ carefully (manner)
→ now (time — yes, “now” can be an adverb!)

Wait — let’s double-check “now”. Yes, “now” tells *when* something happens → adverb.

Also, “pretty” can sometimes be an adverb (like “pretty good”), but here it’s listed with descriptive words like “blue”, “excellent”, so we’ll keep it as adjective. The worksheet likely expects “pretty” as adjective.

So adverbs: quickly, kindly, slowly, carefully, now → 5 adverbs.

---

Step 6: Identify Prepositions (show relationship — location, time, direction)

→ in
→ on
→ under
→ between
→ behind

That’s 5 prepositions.

---

Step 7: Identify Conjunctions (connect words or sentences)

→ and
→ but
→ so
→ or
→ if

That’s 5 conjunctions.

---

Step 8: Identify Interjections (express emotion — often followed by exclamation mark)

→ Ouch!
→ Shh!
→ Phew!
→ Wow!
→ Gosh!

That’s 5 interjections.

Now let’s count total words given:

List has 50 words? Let’s count rows:

Row 1: 6 words
Row 2: 6
Row 3: 6
Row 4: 6
Row 5: 6
Row 6: 6
Row 7: 6
Row 8: 4? Wait — last row: “pretty now if Gosh! behind” → 5 words? Let me recount properly.

Actually, let’s just trust our sorting — we assigned 5 to each category × 8 categories = 40 words. But original list has more?

Wait — let’s list all words again from image text:

Line 1: did, me, blue, Mary, I, she → 6
Line 2: and, America, know, quickly, in → 5? Wait no — looking back at user input:

User wrote:

“did me blue Mary I she
and America know quickly in
excellent on Ouch! but cat
under Shh! kindly herself so
want easy slowly Phew! he
be house carefully Wow!
between run or pen modern
pretty now if Gosh! behind”

Let’s count per line:

Line 1: 6
Line 2: 5? Wait — “and America know quickly in” → that’s 5? But earlier lines had 6. Actually, looking carefully:

Original user input formatting might be off. Let me split by spaces:

Full list separated:

did, me, blue, Mary, I, she,
and, America, know, quickly, in,
excellent, on, Ouch!, but, cat,
under, Shh!, kindly, herself, so,
want, easy, slowly, Phew!, he,
be, house, carefully, Wow!,
between, run, or, pen, modern,
pretty, now, if, Gosh!, behind

Count them:

1. did
2. me
3. blue
4. Mary
5. I
6. she
7. and
8. America
9. know
10. quickly
11. in
12. excellent
13. on
14. Ouch!
15. but
16. cat
17. under
18. Shh!
19. kindly
20. herself
21. so
22. want
23. easy
24. slowly
25. Phew!
26. he
27. be
28. house
29. carefully
30. Wow!
31. between
32. run
33. or
34. pen
35. modern
36. pretty
37. now
38. if
39. Gosh!
40. behind

Total: 40 words → perfect for 5 per category × 8 categories.

Our assignment above used exactly 5 per category — so we’re good.
