Excerpt from How to Tell the Parts of Speech: An Introduction to English Grammar The conviction that any child can be taught how to tell the Parts of Speech in any sentence that he can under stand, has induced me to publish this little book. I believe that a very young child may be taught, almost without knowing that heis being taught, first to classify English words according to their function in the sentence, and then to infer the nature of each word from its function or, as a child would put it, to tell you first what the word does, and then what Part of Speech the word is.
