Parts of Speech

The word shines expresses the action of the sun in the sentence, identifying it as a verb. It tells us what the subject is doing.

The word in shows the relationship between the boys and the class, making it a preposition. Prepositions typically indicate direction, time, place, or location.

In this sentence, 'some' is used to mean 'approximately' or 'about'. Since it modifies the numeral 'twenty', which acts as an adjective for 'boys', 'some' functions as an adverb of degree.

The word 'still' describes the noun 'waters', indicating a quality of the water. Words that modify or describe nouns are classified as adjectives.

In this context, 'still' indicates that a state continues to exist in time. It modifies the verb 'is' or the adverb 'there', making it an adverb of time.

The word 'such' is used here to emphasize the noun 'hurry'. It functions as a determiner or demonstrative adjective modifying the noun phrase.

The word 'that' is used to point out a specific 'girl'. Because it directly precedes and modifies the noun 'girl', it is a demonstrative adjective.

In this sentence, 'that' stands alone as the subject of the question. Since it replaces a noun rather than modifying one, it is a demonstrative pronoun.

The word 'that' introduces a relative clause ('that can help me') and refers back to the noun 'man'. This function defines it as a relative pronoun.

Here, 'that' modifies the adverb 'far' to indicate degree. When 'that' is used to modify an adjective or another adverb, it functions as an adverb.

The word 'up' shows the relationship between the action 'climbed' and the noun 'mountain'. Since it is followed by an object, it acts as a preposition.

The word 'till' connects the main clause 'Let us wait' with the subordinate clause 'the rain stops'. This joining function makes it a conjunction.

In the phrase 'got up', the word 'up' modifies the verb 'got' and does not have a following object. This makes it an adverb.

The word 'still' follows the linking verb 'is' and describes the state of the noun 'sea'. In this position, it is a predicative adjective.

The word 'well' describes the manner in which the action 'sings' is performed. Words that modify verbs are adverbs.
