Start with three sentences that have the wrong part of speech labeled and need fixing — like the claim that "wow" in "Wow, that was amazing!" is a pronoun, that "over" in "The bird flew over the fence" is a verb, or that "and" in "We laughed and cheered" is an adverb.
Then fill in blanks to name interjections, pronouns like "him," conjunctions, and adverbs such as "fiercely." Two short-answer prompts ask you to define an interjection with examples and explain the difference between a preposition and a conjunction. Spotting these mistakes builds the analytical thinking real grammar work demands.
