Which part of speech are the underlined words? Our neighbors painted both their house and their barn. A. prepositions B. adjectives C. pronouns D. conjunctions both and are both underlined and i think it is d

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Wait. So you're saying that "both" and "and" are underlined right?

OpenStudy (igreen):

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is confusing

OpenStudy (igreen):

"And" is a conjunction..

OpenStudy (igreen):

But isn't "both" a pronoun?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Oh, "both" can also be a conjunction..so you're correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

I'm not sure if both is a conjunction though...you know, since conjunctions are used to separate otherwise independent clauses.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

conjuctions connet the sentence so i think it is conjuction

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Oh wait. Never mind. You're right. Sorry about that. XD
