Parts of Speech Worksheet 2: Identifying Parts of Speech in a Paragraph

The  sun  was setting, and the sky turned a brilliant  shade  of orange.  Birds  chirped  peacefully  as they settled in for the night. A  gentle  breeze  whispered  through the  leaves , creating a  soothing  rustle. Nearby, a  stream  flowed  steadily , its  waters  glistening in the fading light. Children  played  in the distance, their  laughter  carrying on the wind. An  old  man  sat  on a bench,  watching  the day come to an end. He  felt  a sense of  calm  wash over him. The  park  was his favorite place to  reflect  on life’s simple  joys . As darkness  fell , he  stood  up and  walked  home,  content  with the day’s  serenity .
