Chapter 3: Parts of Speech
Target Duration: 2 minutes 40 seconds to 3 minutes
Scene 1 — Every Word Has a Job
Time: 0:00–0:30
Voice-over:
“Look at this sentence:
Riya happily opened the big box.
Each word is doing a different job.
Riya names someone.
Opened tells what she did.
Big tells us more about the box.
And happily adds more information.
Words can be divided into different kinds or classes according to the work they do in a sentence. These kinds or classes are called Parts of Speech.”
Animator Direction:
Show Riya opening a box. Write the sentence and briefly highlight the key words. Then transition to:
PARTS OF SPEECH

Revised Scene 2 — The Eight Parts of Speech
Time: 0:30–0:50
Voice-over:
“There are eight Parts of Speech:
Noun, Adjective, Pronoun, Verb, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction and Interjection.”
Animator Direction:
Draw a large 8 in the centre and place the eight names around it with simple icons.
The remaining scenes can stay exactly as in the previous version. This adds the missing definition without increasing the animation beyond about 3 minutes.

Scene 3 — First Four
Time: 0:45–1:20
Voice-over:
“A noun is a naming word, such as Harry, cat, garden, or tree.
An adjective tells us more about a noun, as in red box.
A pronoun is used in place of a noun.
Priya is ill. She is absent.
And a verb tells us about an action or state, as in The team won.”
Animator Direction:
Use four quick visuals:
• Harry, cat, tree, garden → Noun
• red box → Adjective
• Priya → she → Pronoun
• team celebrates → won → Verb

Scene 4 — Next Four
Time: 1:20–1:55
Voice-over:
“An adverb adds more information, as in work regularly.
A preposition shows a relationship, as in under the tree.
A conjunction joins words or ideas, as in mangoes and oranges.
And an interjection shows a sudden feeling, such as Wow! or Oh!”
Animator Direction:
Show one fast example for each. Keep each visual on screen for only 5–6 seconds.

Scene 5 — All Working Together
Time: 1:55–2:25
Voice-over:
“Different Parts of Speech work together to make sentences.

Different words in this sentence are doing different jobs.
That is exactly what Parts of Speech means.”
Animator Direction:
Write the full sentence and quickly highlight a few words with labels:
Ah! → Interjection
child → Noun
naughty → Adjective
fell → Verb
and → Conjunction
he → Pronoun
No detailed explanation.
