Students correct three part-of-speech errors — 'tall' called a verb, 'quickly' called a noun, and 'happiness' called an adjective. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions defining nouns, verbs, and what adjectives modify. Part C has two short-answer questions: naming and giving examples of four parts of speech, and explaining how to distinguish an adjective from an adverb.
Correcting mislabeled words in real sentences is more effective than memorizing definitions alone.
