Can someone label parts of speech The new mail carrier finally arrived?

Answer 1

The -- article. Articles specify the grammatical "definiteness" of the noun, i.e., "the" is more specific than "a" or "an. "The" refers to a specific item, "a" and "an" refer to any item of the kind.

mail carrier -- a compound noun (comprised of an adjective "mail" and a noun "carrier")

new -- adjective (modifies / describes the noun "carrier" in the compound noun)

........NOTE: some might define carrier as the noun, with mail as

........an adjective, describing it. In that case new is still an adjective

........which modifies (describes) the nouncarrier.

........

........If "new" modified the adjective "mail" it would be an adverb (one of an

........adverbs many functions). But -- the sentence then would mean that the

........carrier only delivers "New mail," versus delivering new mail, junk mail

........and old (returned) mail.

finally -- adverb (qualifies/expands on the verb (arrived). *See note below about adverbs:

arrived -- verb intransitive (a 'being' verb versus an 'action' / transitive verb)

*NOTE: Adverbs qualify by answering questions like: how?, in what way?, when?, where?, and to what degree? Adverbs often end in "ly".

Adverbs not only qualify verbs. They similarly qualify adjectives, other adverbs, and can even qualify /"introduce" phrases and sentences.
