Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following sentences contains a CONJUNCTION?

Answer: I was hungry but had to wait until supper.

A conjunction is a word that joins together other words, phrases or clauses. Two common conjuctions are "and" and "but".
2. In the following sentence, choose the part of speech of the capitalised word. What ACTION will be taken after the meeting?

Answer: Noun

A noun is a word that is used to identify a person, place, thing, quality or action. In the sentence used in the question, this noun is relating to action. This noun is known as a common noun; proper nouns are names such as a place, corporation, person's name, planets etc.
3. In the following sentence, choose the part of speech of the capitalised word. One ACTS as one thinks best.

Answer: Verb

At school we were taught that verbs were "doing words". Verbs are words that describe an action, such as run, or something that occurs, such as happen, or a state of being, such as exist.

Verbs as an action for example: the man was running.
Verbs as an occurrence for example: the man was born.
Verbs as a state of being for example: the man was here for a week.
4. In the following sentence, what part of speech is the capitalised word? The members who were there played ACTIVE parts.

Answer: Adjective

At school we were taught that adjectives were "describing words". The role of an adjective is to give further information about a noun or pronoun. In this example the word active is describing the parts taken by the members - they are active participants.
5. In the following sentence, choose the part of speech of the capitalised word. He was ACTIVELY engaged on the project.

Answer: Adverb

Adverbs further explain when, where, why or how a verb, adverb or adjective is being undertaken. In this example the adverb describes how he was engaged with the project. Adverbs frequently finish in "ly".
6. The rule we learnt in school was "i" before "e" except after "c". However this rule does not always apply. Write the correct (British) spelling for: "N..GHBOUR".

Answer: Neighbour

The rule "i" before "e" except after "c" rule only applies if it is pronounced "ee", and even then there are exceptions. As the first syllable of neighbour is not pronounced "ee", the spelling is the other way around.
7. A prefix is something that goes before. Which one is actually an example of a word that includes a prefix?

Answer: predate

The stem "date" has had "pre-" added in front, to indicate that something happens prior to the date stated. There are many types of prefixes such as those that make the word's meaning opposite to that of the stem,including ante-, anti-, contra-, in-, ir-, and non-.
8. Which of the following sentences contains a preposition?

Answer: My hand is on the table.

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between two or more things.
"My hand is on the table" shows a situational relation between hand and table. Prepositions are usually written just before the word that they are indicating.
9. There are two types of articles, definite articles and indefinite articles. There is an example of a definite article in this sentence: "The store manager was in trouble for stealing".

Answer: True

"The manager" refers to a specific manager, while "a manager" could refer to anybody who manages. In other words, a definite article specifies a particular person, thing or action whilst an indefinite article alludes to any person, thing or action. Some other languages have more articles than English. For example, French has three definite articles (la, le, les) and three indefinite articles (un, une, des), relating to the number and gender of the noun.
10. Which sentence uses the adverb incorrectly?

Answer: The man climbed the quickly hill.

Most adverbs end in "ly" as they are adding information to the verb, and they are generally written immediately before or after the verb they modify. In this example the person is climbing the hill and the adverb "quickly" describes how he does it. In the misused sentence, the placement of the adverb suggests that it is an adjective modifying "hill".
