John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Parts of Speech

Which part of speech best characterizes you?

A video by Grammar Rock got me thinking, each part of speech has a certain personality– verbs, nouns, pronouns, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.

I would like to say I’m most like a verb—a person of action and activity.

I don’t want to be a preposition. They are sneaky trying to go over, under and around things. You can’t trust ’em.

Maybe I’m most like an conjunction today. I try to bring people together to do more than they can do separately.

OK, really I just want to post the video of Conjunction Junction. It was my favorite song by Grammar Rock. And is still pretty cool all these years later.
