Part 1: Matching Parts of Speech with Definitions

To solve this, we recall the definitions of each part of speech:

• Noun: A person, place, thing, or idea.
• Pronoun: A word used instead of a noun.
• Verb: A word that expresses action or a state of being.
• Adjective: A word that describes a noun or pronoun.
• Adverb: A word that describes a verb.
• Preposition: A word that expresses the relationship between a noun and another word (position, location, direction, time, etc.).
• Conjunction: A word that connects words, phrases, or clauses together.
• Article: Words that identify a noun as specific (the) or unspecific (a/an).
• Interjection: A word that shows emotions.

Part 2: Identifying Parts of Speech

We analyze each sentence using the definitions above:

1. My parents allow me to stay up until 10:00 P.M.

"parents" is a person → noun

1. Our cat is long - haired.

"is" expresses a state of being → verb

1. Matt will wash the dirty dishes.

"dirty" describes "dishes" (a noun) → adjective

1. Joseph washed the car on Saturday.

"the" identifies the noun "car" as specific → article

1. The waterfall crashed over the cliff.

"over" shows the relationship between "waterfall" and "cliff" (position) → preposition

1. What will you give her?

"her" is used instead of a noun (e.g., a person’s name) → pronoun

1. The car rolled to a stop.

"rolled" expresses an action → verb

1. He slowly finished his homework.

"slowly" describes "finished" (a verb) → adverb

1. Please stand and introduce yourself.

"and" connects "stand" and "introduce" (two verbs) → conjunction

1. I like math; however, I like science more.

"however" connects the two clauses ("I like math" and "I like science more") → conjunction (Note: "however" is a conjunctive adverb, but in basic part - of - speech classification, it can be considered a conjunction for connecting clauses here)

1. “Ouch!” she exclaimed.

"Ouch!" shows an emotion (pain) → interjection
