Students fix three labeling errors — 'slept' called an adverb, 'jacket' called a verb, and 'loudly' called an adjective. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions about pronouns, conjunctions, and prepositions. Part C has two short-answer questions about why we use pronouns and how prepositions function in example sentences.
Extending parts of speech practice to pronouns, conjunctions, and prepositions completes the eight-part framework.

Parts of Speech Review
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
In the sentence "The cat slept peacefully," the word slept is an adverb.
Rewrite: In the sentence "The cat slept peacefully," the word slept is a verb.
2. Fix the sentence:
In the sentence "He wore a blue jacket," the word jacket is a verb.

Rewrite: In the sentence "They sang loudly at the concert," the word loudly is an adverb.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A pronoun takes the place of a noun in a sentence.
2. Words like and, but, and or are called conjunctions.
3. A preposition shows the relationship between a noun and another word, such as in, on, or under.
4. In the sentence "She danced gracefully," the word gracefully is an adverb.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. What is a pronoun, and why do we use pronouns in writing?
A pronoun is a word like he, she, or they that replaces a noun. We use pronouns so we do not repeat the same noun over and over.
2. Give an example of a preposition used in a sentence and explain what it shows.
In "The book is on the table," the preposition "on" shows where the book is located in relation to the table.
