Parts of Speech Workshop

A student magazine draft needs a grammar edit. Use the sentence context to identify how each word functions. Some words can belong to different parts of speech in different sentences. Answer all ten questions; for writing tasks, more than one response may be correct.

Spot the Parts of Speech

Read the draft sentence for Questions 1–3: “After the storm, the remarkably calm editor carefully reviewed every article, but she postponed publication until Friday.”

1.In the draft sentence, what part of speech is “remarkably”?
  • Noun
  • Adjective
  • Adverb
  • Preposition
2.In the draft sentence, what part of speech is “calm”?
  • Verb
  • Adjective
  • Adverb
  • Conjunction
3.Identify the conjunction “but” and the preposition “until” in the draft sentence. State what “but” connects and what noun phrase follows “until.”
4.In the phrase “every article,” what part of speech is “every”? What word does it determine?

Edit for Precision

A draft caption reads: “The writers worked quick, and their editor gave them a thoughtful review.” Use grammar knowledge to revise it.

5.Replace “quick” with the standard adverb form needed to modify “worked.” Then identify the part of speech of “thoughtful.”
6.Rewrite the caption so it uses parallel structure: make the writers’ two actions both gerunds, and keep the meaning that the editor reviewed their work.
7.Write one original sentence about preparing a magazine issue. Include a noun, a vivid verb, an adjective, an adverb, and a conjunction. Underline or label each example.

Meaning in Context

Compare the two sentences: “The editor made a clean copy.” “Please clean the desk before the meeting.”

8.The word “clean” appears in both sentences. Identify its part of speech in each sentence and explain how the sentence clues show the difference.
9.Revise this sentence to make it more specific and fluent by adding one adjective, one adverb, and one subordinate clause: “The photographer captured the scene.”
10.Explain in two or three sentences how identifying parts of speech can help an editor improve a sentence. Refer to one specific editing choice from this workshop.
