LESSON XI.

We have now learned all the different classes of words in our language and the name of each class.

Since each class performs a certain office or part in the sentence, the different classes are called parts of speech.

EXERCISE.

State the office of each word in the following sentences, and tell what part of speech it is:—

1.	A rolling stone gathers no moss.
2.	I live for those who love me.
3.	The man walked across the bridge.
4.	The cherries on this tree are ripe.
5.	I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers.
6.	This boy lost his kite in a tree.
7.	The village master taught his little school.
8.	Slowly and sadly we laid him down.
9.	Crash! a terrific cry broke from three hundred hearts.
10.	I never was on the dull, tame shore,
	But I loved the great sea more and more.

LESSON XII.

The part of speech or grammatical value of words is always determined by their use or function in the sentence.
