3. Parts of Speech Quiz

Did you know that (almost) every word that we use can be categorized into one of eight word groups or parts of speech. They're pretty important. This quiz covers all eight of them! Here's the Cliffs Notes version of the parts of speech: 

  • Nouns name people, places, things, or ideas. 
  • Pronouns take the place of nouns. 
  • Verbs name actions or states of being. 
  • Adjectives modify nouns. 
  • Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
  • Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or a pronoun (object of the preposition) and the rest of the sentence. 
  • Conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses. 
  • Interjections are words that show emotion and are not grammatically connected to the rest of the sentence.

6. 1912 Grammar Test for 8th Graders

You'll probably be pretty shocked at how difficult this test seems. While I don't have a copy of the "official" answers, I did include my answers as well as lessons and links to help you!
