2. Noun
A person, place, thing, or idea Example: pen, dog, work, music, town, London, teacher, John

3. Action Verb
An action verb is a verb that expresses physical or mental action. The action verb tells us what the subject of our clause or sentence is doing-physically or mentally. Example: do, like, work, sing, can, must

4. Linking Verb
A linking verb connects the subject with a word that gives information about the subject, such as a condition or relationship. They do not show any action; but, they link the subject with the rest of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "They are a problem," the word "are" is the linking verb that connects "they" and "problem" to show the relationship between the two words.

5. Examples of Linking verbs
William is excited about his promotion.
She appears upset about the announcement.
The eggs smell rotten.
He went red after tripping on the rug.

And - Adds one thing to another I go to the park every Sunday to watch the ducks on the lake and the people playing soccer.
Nor - Used to present an alternative negative idea to an already stated negative idea I don’t go for the fresh air nor really for the ducks. Honestly, I just like the soccer.
But - Shows contrast The soccer in the park is entertaining in the winter, but it’s better in the heat of summer.
Or - Presents an alternative or a choice The men play on teams: red or yellow uniforms.

14. Interjection

15. Write me one sentence (using 8 parts of speech) to describe what this baby is doing.

16. Direct Object
Every sentence needs a noun and a verb.  "Henry plays" is a complete sentence.  If we add the word "football" to the sentence, the sentence now has a direct object.  In the sentence "Henry plays football," the direct object is "football."  A direct object is a noun or a pronoun that the verb in the sentence does something to.  The direct object of the verb "plays" is "football."  It's the object of the verb.

17. Examples of a Direct Object
Bob hit the ball. Mary drove the car to the store. Jack married Jill last year.

18. Indirect Object
An indirect object is a noun, pronoun, or word group that answers the question ''to whom?'' or ''for whom?'' after the action verb. An indirect object precedes a direct object in the sentence

19. Examples of Indirect Object
In each sentence, the indirect object is italicized, and the direct object is underlined. Mr. Higgins gave Penny an award. (To whom was the award given?—Penny) Laura gave us a challenging problem. (To whom did Laura give the challenging problem?—us) Their efforts earned them a handsome reward. (Earned a handsome reward for whom?—them) Can Harold purchase his mother a new home? (Purchase a new home for whom?—his mother)

20. Object of the Preposition
The words that follow a preposition are called the object of the preposition

21. Examples of Object of Preposition
Examples: The cat ran under the car.(The words the car are the object of the preposition under.) Can you give this parcel to him tomorrow?(The word him is the object of the preposition to.)

22. Predicate Noun
A predicate noun completes a linking verb and renames the subject. It is a complement or completer because it completes the verb. Predicate nouns complete only linking verbs. The linking verbs include the following: the helping verbs is, am, are, was, were, be, being, and been; the sense verbs look, taste, smell, feel, and sound; and verbs like become, seem, appear, grow, continue, stay, and turn. The verb in a sentence having a predicate noun can always be replaced by the word equals. Examples: Mr. Johanson is a teacher. Mr. Johanson equals a teacher. Mr. Johanson is a father. Mr. Johanson equals a father. Mr. Johanson is my neighbor. Mr. Johanson equals my neighbor.

24. Predicate Adjective
Since you now understand predicate nouns, you may be interested to learn a bit about predicate adjectives. Adjectives modify nouns, which includes describing them and giving more information about them, like their composition, their origin, your opinion of them and their purpose.

25. …Predicate Adjective
A predicate adjective is very similar to a predicate noun in that it completes the predicate and follows an intransitive verb.
Instead of renaming the subject, it modifies it or gives it more detail.

26. Examples of Predicate Adjectives
Antarctica is cold, barren and frozen.
My recipe is French.
The dancers were agile, energetic and beautiful.
During the storm, driving became difficult.
Her performance was phenomenal.
She was sad, alone and miserable.
