Parts of speech basically explain the "function" that a word has in a sentence.

This sentence can be divided into 7 parts.

1. Most snakes: that would be the noun since they are the animals that we talk abput in the sentence.

2. Are: That would be the verb that help us describe the noun.

3. Not poisnous: Adjective, I´ts a word that is describing the noun.

4. And: It´s a conjungtion since is joining two ideas together.

5. Rarely: This is an adverb since most adverbs end with "ly" and describe verbs, in this case the verb described is attack.

6. Attack: Verb

7. US: This is a noun since it´s making reference to people.
