   Hi, Dallas Hinton!   
   I read your message from 13.09.2022 12:13   
      
     DH> This little poem has been floating around FaceBook for a while.   
     DH> I can't find out who wrote it! Every name is called a NOUN,   
     DH> As field and fountain, street and town;   
     DH> In place of noun the PRONOUN stands   
     DH> As he and she can clap their hands,   
     DH> The ADJECTIVE describes a thing,   
     DH> As magic wand and bridal ring,   
     DH> The VERB means action, something done -   
     DH> To read, to write, to jump, to run;   
     DH> How things are done, the ADVERBS tell,   
     DH> As quickly, slowly, badly, well;   
     DH> The PREPOSITION shows relation,   
     DH> As in the street, or at the station;   
     DH> CONJUNCTIONS join, in many ways,   
     DH> Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase;   
     DH> The INTERJECTION cries out, 'Hark!   
     DH> I need an exclamation mark!'   
      
   "We learn word classes through this rhyme,   
   And it will help us every time!"   
      
   The author unknown. And here is a variant of it, nice to print. ;)

   BTW - is there a rule when we should not put an article after "of"?   
      
   ...In place OF NOUN the PRONOUN stands...   
      
   "Noun" is countable after all ;)   
      
   Bye, Dallas!
