Questions and answers

How do you play parts of speech bingo?

Each pupil has a different card of 24 words. You read a word in a sentence; a pupil who has it writes its part of speech in the square. A line wins only if every label on it is right.

Why are words like run and light left out?

They change part of speech with the sentence: go for a run, run fast. Every word here has one part of speech in everyday use, so a pupil's label is either right or wrong.

What are the eight parts of speech?

Noun (giraffe), pronoun (everybody), verb (arrive), adjective (hungry), adverb (slowly), preposition (into), conjunction (although) and interjection (phew). The list under the tool sorts all 48 words this way, so it is also the answer key.
