GOOD ONES!

Tossed course    SALAD
Take a piece from?    UNARM [you have to know cops and robbers stuff]
Balls' belles    DEBS

I enjoyed the "parts of speech" theme largely because the answers are not parts of speech but rather parts of speech.  That is, the word speech itself, not nouns and gerunds.  And, just to ice the cake, the answers appear in order.  That is, the first three letters of speech are SPE, and the first theme answer is SPELLINGBEE.  The second three are PEE, and the second theme answer is PEEPINGTOM; etc.

SPE
  PEE
    EEC
      ECH
