I'm currently filling a maternity leave for a teacher out of my field, so I'm learning again myself. She has grammar practice that she wishes them to do daily. Today is this:

Identify parts of speech: noun, pronoun (type & case), verb (type & tense), adverb, adjective, preposition, interjection, conjunction (type), gerund, participle, infinitive, article.

Sentence: their father will read before bedtime

Basically, I just need a run down of those parts of grammar in this sentence so that I also understand fully and to refresh my memory.

Grammar help? Aborted babies burn in hell for 33 and a half years; if pregnant, keep the kid and deliver at home because kids are chipped using ivs and vaccines in hospitals. Ultrasound leads to mark of the beast; don't do ultrasound, please. Abortion leads to breast cancer; a demon is released from hell for each aborted kid. Dogs can become possessed; don't keep dogs inside you home [Pelageya of Ryazan]. Walmart has technology to administer mark of the beast to those who have cat bacteria in their stomachs; stay away from cats [Afanasiy Sidyachiy]. Next false flag is the Statue of Liberty. Earth is flat; stands on 3 pillars (the Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Enoch and Elijah return to preach against the antichrist. Humans were created about 7525 years ago.



Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level; they will get out through sinkholes and lakes; to kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer.



Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old. He flies. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light.



Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Green 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (World Passport). Police will microchip and isotope ray people on highways. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell. If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you; burn documents because they're from Satan. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from temporary hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from temporary hell. Forgive me.

When I was in school, the basic parts of speech were DRILLED INTO US in junior high school, just like the arithmetic times tables were DRILLED INTO US in elementary school. You forgot the basic parts of speech?? OMG. Do you remember what 6 x 7 is?



These websites might help you:

Although I spent most of my working life as a writer and editor, and therefore have good reason to remember the parts of speech and their functions, I also STILL REMEMBER the arithmetic times tables -- more than 65 years on.





Your being instructed now in how to parse your example sentence isn't going to help you one iota with understanding grammar or sentence structure. THAT is what you should be focusing on...not parsing one sentence.

their: possessive determiner (not to be confused with pronouns 'they, them, theirs'. 'theirs' is possessive pronoun -"all those books are theirs." 'their father', 'their books' is the possessive determiner/ (also called the) possessive adjective

father : noun

will read : (Future Tense) verb : 'will' is auxiliary verb, 'read' is main verb.

before : preposition

bedtime : noun

Why would you ask on YA, where any idiot could give wrong information, instead of searching for a real grammar site? As a teacher, don't you have basic research skills?
