Unit 1 Grammar Songs

Common & Proper Noun Song
A noun is a person, a place or a thing.
Person, place or thing!
Person, place or thing!
A common noun is general.
A proper noun's specific.
Common nouns! Proper nouns!
All nouns are terrific!
Verbs is Action
Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”
All action words are verbs.
They Make writing superb.
Heigh-ho, the derry-o,
All action words are verbs.
A verb tells what you do,
Like jump or swim or chew.
Heigh-ho, the derry-o
A verb tells what you do.
Each sentence must have one-
The verb adds all the fun.
Heigh-ho, the derry-o,
Each sentence must have one.

The Pronoun Song
(Sung to the “When the Saints Go Marching In”)
I, me, my, mine
You, your, and yours
She, he, it, him, her, his, its, hers
Are the singular personal pronouns,
Which take the place of regular nouns.
We, us, our, ours
You, your, and yours
They, them, their, and theirs are plural.
They are the plural personal pronouns,
Which take the place of regular nouns!
Sometimes they’re subjects;
Sometimes they’re objects;
Sometimes they are possessive;
But they always take the place of
The regular nouns in your grammar.
