Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to find what part of speech the underlined word is — noun, adjective, or verb.
Remember:
- A
noun names a person, place, thing, or idea (like “teacher,” “cat,” “cookies”).
- An
adjective describes a noun (like “red,” “green,” “yellow”).
- A
verb shows action or state of being (like “walk,” “sleeps,” “baked”).
Now let’s look at each question:
1. The teacher’s shoes are
red.
→ “Red” tells us what color the shoes are → it describes the noun “shoes” → so it’s an
adjective.
2. I always
walk to school.
→ “Walk” is something you do → it’s an action → so it’s a
verb.
3. The cat sleeps all
day.
→ “Day” is a thing — a time of day → it’s a
noun.
4. He had a green
ball.
→ “Ball” is a thing you can hold or play with → it’s a
noun.
5. Grandma
baked cookies.
→ “Baked” is what Grandma did → it’s an action → so it’s a
verb.
6. The baby drank
milk.
→ “Milk” is a thing you drink → it’s a
noun.
7. Juan ate an
apple.
→ “Apple” is a thing you eat → it’s a
noun.
8. She looked for the yellow
book.
→ “Book” is a thing you read → it’s a
noun.
Wait — let me double-check #8. The underlined word is “book”, right? Yes. And “yellow” is describing it, but we’re only looking at “book”. So yes — “book” is a noun.
All answers checked!
Final Answer:
1. adjective
2. verb
3. noun
4. noun
5. verb
6. noun
7. noun
8. noun
