Excerpt from Bones Rules: Or, Skeleton of English Grammar
Part I. - Parts Of Speech.
A sentence is a group of words making complete sense, and marked by a period.
Parts of speech are sorts of words that go to make up a sentence. The principal of these are the noun, the verb, the adjective, and the adverb.
The Noun.
A noun is a word that names anything that we can think of; as, Earth, air, water, plant, bird, man.
The Verb.
A verb is a word that goes with a noun to say, or help to say, something about it; as, Water flows. Birds sing. Fishes swim. God created man. Christ is God.
