Sure! Let’s go through each sentence and identify the
part of speech for the underlined word. Parts of speech include: noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, and article.
---
1. She *thought* of a wise plan.
→
Verb
*Explanation:* “Thought” is the past tense of the verb “think.” It describes the action she performed.
---
2. Where are *you* going?
→
Pronoun
*Explanation:* “You” is a personal pronoun used to refer to the person being addressed.
---
3. That was a *lovely* evening.
→
Adjective
*Explanation:* “Lovely” describes the noun “evening,” telling us what kind of evening it was.
---
4. She must be a *stupid*.
→
Adjective *(Note: Grammatically, this should be “a stupid person” or “stupid” as an adjective modifying a noun — but in context, “stupid” is being used as an adjective here, even if the sentence is awkward.)*
*Explanation:* “Stupid” describes the implied person (she), so it functions as an adjective.
> ⚠️ *Note: Technically, “stupid” is an adjective, but using it after “a” without a noun (like “a stupid person”) is grammatically incorrect. However, for parts of speech identification, we classify “stupid” as an adjective.*

5. Reshma is my *best* friend.

→
Conjunction
*Explanation:* “Because” connects two clauses — it shows the reason why the first action happened.
---
8. It is *my* pen.
→
Possessive Adjective (or Determiner)
*Explanation:* “My” shows ownership — it tells us the pen belongs to the speaker. In modern grammar, it’s often called a
determiner, but in elementary school contexts, it’s usually labeled as a
possessive adjective.
---
