Please check my work.

Correctly identifying the part of speech of each of the word in the sentence.

The new mail carrier finally arrived.

The (definite article) new (adjective) mail (adjective) carrier (noun) finally (adverb) arrived (past tense verb).
Answered by Ms. Sue
As Writeacher told you, you're correct -- except that "mail carrier" is usually considered a compound noun. It's possible, though, that your text considers "mail" an adjective describing "carrier.

Answered by Priya
I need to know what part of speech is the word "mail" in the text.
Answered by Ms. Sue
"Mail" is part of the noun.

Answered by Ms. Sue
We can consider "mail carrier" a compound noun, similar to:

bus stop
washing machine
swimming pool

Thank u.

Is "mail" a noun or an adjective in the sentence?
Answered by Writeacher
mail+carrier = a compound noun

You don't list the words separately.
Answered by Priya
Okay.

This will be my finally draft.

The (definite article) new (adjective) mail (noun) carrier (noun) finally (adverb) arrived (past tense verb.

Thank u both Ms Sue & Writeacher.
Answered by Ms. Sue
No!!!!

As Writeacher and I have tried to explain, you can't separate mail and carrier.

"Mail carrier" is one noun.

Please discuss this with your teacher.

Also show him/her the websites we've posted about compound nouns.
