Creatures that are very sensitive to the changes in the air before a storm can “predict” a change in the weather. Birds, for example, sense the pressure change and fly lower. Low-flying birds, then, indicate that rain is coming. Similarly, houseflies detect this change and move indoors to avoid the downpour. And cats are known to groom themselves just before a storm. In doing so, they are reacting to the static electricity that enters the air before a thunderstorm. The electricity separates their fur and makes them feel dirty, so they lick themselves to make the fur smooth and “clean” again.

 I need help doing the parts of speech from the underlined words

Creatures = I think it's a noun. Person, place or thing.

 

And = Conjunction

 

"Clean" = Adjective?

 

Downpour = Noun?

 

Themselves = I think it's Pronoun??

 

Sense = Verb?

 

"a" = Preposition...?

 

Seperates their: Ummm I know "their" is a pronoun, and "seperates" is a verb. Soooo. Verb?

 

"Indicate" = IDK Verb?

 

Themselves just: Themselves = pronoun. Just = Adverb. Sooo... Adverb? 

 

The rest, I'm not sure...
