Why build your own parts of speech quiz

Ready-made worksheets on parts of speech rarely match the examples your class covered, so the questions can feel off target. DeckOwl builds a grammar quiz on nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs from your own lesson notes, slides or PDF, so every question uses sentences you actually studied. Each item comes with an explanation that points back to the word's role in the sentence.

Identify nouns by what they name, such as people, places, things or ideas
Spot verbs by the action or state of being in the sentence
Match adjectives to the nouns or pronouns they describe
Tell adverbs apart by checking what they modify: a verb, adjective or adverb

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell an adverb from an adjective?

Check what the word modifies, since adjectives describe nouns or pronouns while adverbs describe verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. Asking how, when, where or how much about the word often reveals an adverb.

How many questions should a parts of speech quiz have?

A set of about ten questions covering all four word types works well for one study session. Mixing identification with sentence-use questions gives a more complete check than repeating one format.

Can I export the quiz to Moodle or QTI?

QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. The Plus plan, at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, includes PDF and DOCX export.
