Teach Grammar thro' Songs

PREPOSITIONS

Prepositions always run

Before a Noun or Pronoun!

They convey my learner

The place and time and manner!

There is a town on the coast.

The West Indies off the coast.

Into the well jumped a lion.

Died in the well the poor lion!

Between the hills, a stream does flow.

Among the leaves, a rose does glow!

Beside the house, a bunk does lie.

Behind the house, some junk does lie!

Over the hat, a bat does fly.

Under the cat, a rat does lie.

Along the street, a man does stroll.

Across the street, a can does roll.

At one in the afternoon,

In the month of jolly June,

She sang sweetly a nice tune

And she caught her good fortune!

He’s not seen you for ten days.

They go to church on Sundays.

I have been here since Monday.

She stayed at home on Friday.

The poor always go by train.

The rich travel in a plane.

Peddlers always go on foot

From door to door, selling fruit.

This is another grammar rhyme for you:
A noun is a name of anything
A school, garden, kites or king.
Adjectives tell the kind of noun,
As great, small, pretty, white or brown
Instead of a noun the pronoun stands,
As his head, her face, your arm, my hand.

Verbs tell of something being done,
To read, count, carry, laugh or run.
How things are done the adverbs tell,
As slowly, quickly, ill or well.
Conjunctions join the words together
As men and women, wind and weather.

The preposition stands before the noun
As in or through a door.
The interjection shows surprise as
Oh! How pretty
Three little words you often see
Are articles a, an and the
The whole are nine parts of speech.
Which reading, writing and speaking teach.
