Explanation:

1. In "Jenny ran towards the apple tree", "ran" is an action word, so it is a verb.
2. "Wow" is an exclamation word, so it is an interjection.
3. "School" is a place, so it is a noun.
4. "Chocolate" describes the "ice - cream", so it is an adjective.
5. "Under" shows the relationship between the book and the chair, so it is a preposition.
6. "But" joins two clauses ("Cora likes ketchup" and "she doesn't like mustard"), so it is a conjunction.
7. "Gently" describes how Owen picked up the snake (modifies the verb "picked"), so it is an adverb.
8. "We" is used in place of a group of people (a pronoun).
