A Grammar Rhyme
by David B. Tower and Benjamin F. Tweed

A noun's the name of anything;
As, school or garden, hoop or swing.

Adjectives tell the kind of noun;
As, great, small, pretty, white, or brown.
Three of these words we often see,
Called articles - a, an, and the.

Instead of nouns the pronouns stand;
John's head, his face, my arm, your hand.

Verbs tell of something being done;
As read, write, spell, sing, jump, or run.

How things are done the adverbs tell;
As, slowly, quickly, ill, or well.
They also tell us where and when;
As here, and there, and now, and then.

A preposition stands before
A noun; as in, or through, a door.

Conjunctions sentences unite;
As kittens scratch and puppies bite.

The interjection shows surprise;
As, O, how pretty! Ah, how wise!

Thank you. I have looked for this grammar rhyme for so long. I started to think I was the only one who (or should it be whome) used it!
