Explanation:

1. The adverb "always" signals a habitual present action, so use simple present tense.
2. "By the end of the week" refers to a completed future action, so use future perfect tense.
3. "Entirely" modifies the verb "made", describing how the action was done, so it is an adverb.
4. "Soon" modifies the whole clause, indicating when the action will happen, so it is an adverb.
5. "But" connects two independent clauses to show contrast, so it is a conjunction.
6. "On" shows the relationship between "she" and "the bus", so it is a preposition.
7. "Not only...but also" is a paired structure that connects equal sentence elements, so it is correlative conjunctions.
8. "Although" introduces a dependent clause that contrasts with the main clause, so it is a subordinating conjunction.
