Label nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, and prepositions in sentences from a worksheet or passage. A parent or teacher gives 10 sentences and asks the student to underline or label each part of speech. The goal is application to real sentences, not just definition recall.
Proof required
Submit a photo of a 10-sentence worksheet with each part of speech labelled (using abbreviations: N, V, ADJ, ADV, PRN, PREP) and a parent or teacher note confirming the answers are correct.
What gets checked
- All 6 parts of speech correctly identified at least once across the 10 sentences
- 8 of 10 sentences labelled correctly (major parts of speech correct even if minor errors in prepositions)
- Student does not confuse adjectives and adverbs — adjectives modify nouns, adverbs modify verbs
