  4. Pronoun • Stands in place of a noun • he, she, it, they, we, us, them • Example: • When the mailman arrived, the dog gave him a hard time.

  5. Adjective • Describes a person, place, thing, or idea • Example: • The sky is dark blue. • We had to sit quietly during the gruelingeight-hour road trip. • I really wanted to watch the fast-pacedaction movie.

  7. Adverbs • “adds” to the verb; answers the questions: • - how something is done: • I finished the project diligently. • - when something is done: • I finished the project yesterday. • - to what extent something is done • I barely finished the project.

  8. Adverbs (continued) • Adverbs can also add to adjectives and other adverbs • Modifying Adjectives: • Once I finished the project, I was really happy. • I am almost surprised to see how far I have come. • Modifying other Adverbs (a.k.a. “Intensifiers”) • My friend also finished the project very quickly. • She had a burst of energy so randomly and was able to finish the project.

  12. Interjections • Words or phrases that show emotions or expressions • Wow!, Oh., What?, Got ‘em!, OMG!, Huh?, LOL!

  14.
