Grammar School is in session. For this week’s mini episode of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast, I’m going to give you three words and you tell me which part of speech they belong to.
I don’t think I know 10 different parts of speech…
DGN – 8 points – I thought #9 were also considered expletives, and I missed the obscure one.
I believe expletives fall under that Part of Speech. At least, how I use them.
I scored 9/10. Believe it or not, I missed question 7, but then recognized that the answer I provided was a correct answer to a later question. I got the obscure one because of a course in assessment. Repeated advice: [spoiler]don’t use specific determiners, namely “always” and “never”, in multiple choice questions because exceptions usually exist, so those answers are rarely the correct ones. Virtually every example I can think of where the specific determiner works comes from math, where we discuss abstract logical creations instead of the complexities of society and the messy English language.[/spoiler]
