Learning the parts of speech will help your students better understand how languages work. A strong knowledge of the parts of speech is requisite to language study and also mastering one’s own language. Understanding how the parts of speech work will allow students to learn the rules of sentence structure and grammar. I hope that these free parts of speech worksheets will help you achieve your goal.

I’ve organized the worksheets on this page based on parts of speech. In order to keep this page from scrolling on forever, I’ve only included some of my worksheets. If you are interested in a particular part of speech, like nouns for instance, click the link at the beginning or end of each section to see all of my resources for that topic.
