Look at this sentence carefully: He breathed deeply with sheer delight, splashed noisily from the little island, and ran off whistling in the pelting rain . Now name three of each of the following parts of speech: (my answers in brackets in red font) Verbs ( breathed, splashed, ran, whistling ) Nouns ( delight, island, rain ) Adjectives ( little, sheer, pelting ) Adverbs ( deeply, noisiliy, off ) - not sure about "off" 'Off' can be used as an adverb and as a preposition, but here it's used as an adverb. Prepositions ( with, from, in ) Best wishes, Clivehttp://www.englishforums.com/English/ANewPartsOfSpeechQuestion/zjpmh/post.htmFri, 24 Apr 2009 06:21:54 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:466368Anonymous1http://www.englishforums.com/English/ANewPartsOfSpeechQuestion/zjpmh/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-466368.xmlHi can some please review my answers to the following question, and amend where necessary.
