Noun: names a person, place, thing, or idea. Pronoun: takes the place of a noun. Verb: shows an action or state of being. Adjective: describes a noun or pronoun. Adverb: describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Preposition: shows a relationship, often of place or time. Conjunction: connects words or ideas. Interjection: expresses a sudden feeling.

The Great Library Mix-Up

On Saturday, Caleb and Mateo hurried into the town library. A bright note lay beneath a chair. “Whoa!” Caleb cried. She carefully picked it up, but the ink had smudged. They searched quietly between the tall shelves because the note might point to a hidden surprise. Mateo found a blue envelope, and Caleb opened it. Inside was a message: “You solved the mystery!” They smiled proudly as the librarian gave them a bookmark.
