• 2). To identify the noun of a sentence of text, look for the word or words that tell you who or what is doing something in the sentence.
  
  
• 3). To identify the pronoun of a sentence of text, look for the word or words that substitute for nouns. Example: A person's name could be unknown so a sentence might refer to he or she, or maybe the name of an animal is unknown so a sentence may refer to 'it', 'that' or 'this.'
  
  
• 4). To identify the verb of a sentence, look for the word or words that tell you what is being done or the action being taken in the sentence.

• 7). To identify the preposition of a sentence, look for the word or words that show the relationship between a noun and/or pronoun and another part of speech. Example: If a sentence describes where a pair of shoes are, it might use the prepositions "in" and "on" in this manner. "The shoes are in my closet on the rack.
