Grammar Song

Here is the grammar song for you to practise at home.  I will add the new verses as we learn them.

A noun is a naming word,

a person, place or thing.
An adjective is a describing word,
long, tall and green.

A verb is an action word,
something you like to try.
An adverb helps describe a verb,
and usually ends in "ly".

A comma sits upon the line
and is used when writing lists.
Insert before and after a name,
when writing a sentence. 

An apostrophe goes above the line,
and shows ownership.
Use before and after an "s",
"The Alien's Spaceship".

A simile is a comparison,
using LIKE or AS.
Alliteration sounds the same,
"Lovely Lucy Laughs".
