THE NINE PARTS OF SPEECH

He rescatado, entre mis papeles, un poema que es toda una lección de inglés:

THREE LITTLE WORDS YOU OFTEN SEE
ARE ARTICLES- A, AN, AND THE.
A NOUN'S THE NAME OF ANYTHING,
AS SCHOOL, OR GARDEN, HOOP OR SWING.
THE PRONOUNS STAND INSTEAD OF NOUNS-
DEWITT LOVES HER BUT SHE LOVES CLOWNS.
ADJECTIVES TELL THE KIND OF NOUN,
AS GREAT, SMALL, PRETTY, WHITE, OR BROWN.
VERBS TELL OF SOMETHING THAT'S BEING DONE-
TO READ, COUNT, LAUGH, SING, JUMP, OR RUN.
HOW THINGS ARE DONE THE ADVERBS TELL,
AS SLOWLY, QUICKLY, ILL, OR WELL.
THE PREPOSITIONS STAND BEFORE
A NOUN, AS IN OR THROUGH A DOOR.
CONJUNTIONS JOIN THE WORDS TOGETHER,
AS MEN AND WOMEN, WIND OR WEATHER.
THE INTERJECTIONS SHOW SURPRISE,
AS OH! HOW PRETTY!, AH! HOW WISE!
THE WHOLE ARE CALLED NINE PARTS OF SPEECH,
WHICH READING, WRITING, SPEAKING TEACH.
