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!
