Parts of Speech 2

How well do you know the eight parts of speech: verb, noun, pronoun, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction and interjection? (See Grammar-Ease: Terms and Definitions for definitions of grammar terms.)

Because words may have different functions in different sentences, they can belong to more than one part of speech. For example, the word book can be a noun (The book is on the desk) or a verb (She asked me to book a room for our meeting). See if you can name the parts of speech of the highlighted words below.
