Each year Americans in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November,
Traditional foods, such as turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes, and
cranberry sauce are a large part of Thanksgiving celebrations. Many people serve pie for dessert at
3
the end of the meal. Yummy! Some families include breaking the turkey's wishbone as part of their
celebration. The wishbone is found attached to the breast meat in the turkey's chest. After the meat
has been removed, two people each take one end of the bone, make a wish, and pull. Whoever ends
up with the larger part of the bone gets their wish! Many folks also use Thanksgiving as an
opportunity to generously help the less fortunate. Some people volunteer to serve food at homeless
shelters on Thanksgiving Day and others donate to shelters or participate in canned food drives. k

Explanation:

1. Remember, a preposition is a word or group of words that are often used before a noun or pronoun in other to indicate the direction of an object or the location. Therefore, the word, "on" is a good example of a preposition.

2. A conjunction is a word that helps to connect sentences or clauses together. The word 'and' is an example of conjunction as it helps to connect the first sentence, "Each year Americanssweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes," to the second "cranberry sauce are a large part of Thanksgiving celebrations."

3. An adjectives are words that describe or modify other words. Hence, the word 'yummy' describes the delicious feeling when "Some families include breaking the turkey's wishbone as part of their  celebration."

4. The word, "their" is a pronoun because it acts to replace a noun in other to avoid repetitions of a noun.

5. A noun in simple terms, is a word that names an object, person or thing. Here, the word, 'wishbone' is the name of an object "found attached to the breast meat in the turkey's chest."

6. Here, the word 'larger' describes/modifies the word "part of the bone".

7.  An adverb is any word that modifies a verb, adverb, sentence, or other words. The word 'generously' does exactly that by modifying the adverb, 'to'.

8. Remember, a verb is a word that describes/shows an action. Here the 'donate' indicates an action that is done.
