Step-by-step solution for: Parts of Speech ESL Games Worksheets Activities
Let’s go through each part of the worksheet step by step. We’ll fix mistakes, choose correct words, and fill in blanks — all while learning how verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs work together.
---
Part E: Read the sentences and underline the correct word to be used in each one.
We need to pick the right form of the word — usually between an adjective (describes a noun) or an adverb (describes a verb, adjective, or other adverb).
1. My cousin sings beautiful / beautifully.
→ “Sings” is a verb → needs an adverb → beautifully
2. The internet / interesting science lesson passed quickly.
→ “Lesson” is a noun → needs an adjective → interesting
3. The interns sing / singer dances very well too.
→ “Dances” is a verb → subject should be plural if matching “interns” → but here it says “the interns sing ___ dances” — that doesn’t make sense. Wait — probably typo? Should be: “The intern / singer dances...” → since “dances” is singular verb → subject must be singular → singer
Actually, looking again: “The interns sing / singer dances very well too.” That seems like two subjects? Maybe it’s meant to be: “The intern/singer dances...” So we pick singer as the correct noun for singular verb “dances”.
But wait — maybe it’s “The interns sing” OR “the singer dances”? Then both could be correct depending on meaning. But since only one can be underlined, and “dances” is singular, likely they mean “the singer dances” → so underline singer
4. She plays badly / bad at football.
→ “Plays” is a verb → needs adverb → badly
5. Our new teacher speaker / speaks very clearly.
→ “Teacher” is subject → needs verb → speaks
6. The hungry / hungrily dog ate quickly.
→ “Dog” is noun → needs adjective → hungry
✔ Final answers for Part E:
1. beautifully
2. interesting
3. singer
4. badly
5. speaks
6. hungry
---
Part F: Rewrite the sentences, correcting the mistakes.
These have grammar errors — mostly mixing up adjectives and adverbs, or wrong verb forms.
1. My big brother cooks very bad.
→ “Cooks” is verb → needs adverb → My big brother cooks very badly.
2. We weren’t hungry, so we ate slow.
→ “Ate” is verb → needs adverb → We weren’t hungry, so we ate slowly.
3. My sister draws paints good.
→ Two verbs? Probably means “draws and paints” → both need adverb → My sister draws and paints well.
*(Note: “good” is adjective; “well” is adverb)*
4. The bus drive drove quickly.
→ “Drive” is noun or base verb; “drove” is past tense verb → redundant → The bus driver drove quickly.
*(Assuming “drive” was meant to be “driver”)*
5. I picked up the glass careful.
→ “Picked up” is verb phrase → needs adverb → I picked up the glass carefully.
6. The happy bird sang noisily.
→ This sentence is actually grammatically correct! “Happy” describes bird (adjective), “noisily” describes sang (adverb). No mistake?
Wait — maybe they want us to change something? Or perhaps it’s fine as is?
But instruction says “correcting the mistakes” — if there’s no mistake, leave it?
Looking back — maybe “noisily” is okay, but sometimes people expect “loudly”? No — “noisily” is correct.
Perhaps this one has no error? Let’s assume it’s correct → The happy bird sang noisily. (no change)
But let’s double-check: Is “happy bird” okay? Yes. “Sang noisily”? Yes. So maybe no correction needed.
However, sometimes worksheets trick you — perhaps they think “noisily” should be “loudly”? But both are acceptable. I’ll keep it as is.
✔ Final answers for Part F:
1. My big brother cooks very badly.
2. We weren’t hungry, so we ate slowly.
3. My sister draws and paints well.
4. The bus driver drove quickly.
5. I picked up the glass carefully.
6. The happy bird sang noisily. *(no change)*

Part G: Read the sentences and fill in the gaps with the correct parts of speech.
We need to add missing words — often articles, prepositions, or helping verbs.
1. I’m always doing my homework _______.
→ Likely missing time word → at night or after school? But blank is after “homework” — maybe on time? Or just every day?
Wait — common phrase: “I’m always doing my homework late” — but that’s negative.
Or perhaps carefully? But context?
Actually, looking at pattern — maybe it’s expecting an adverb of time or manner.
Common completion: I’m always doing my homework late.
But let’s see others.
Alternatively, maybe it’s now? Doesn’t fit.
Another idea: perhaps alone? Not sure.
Wait — maybe it’s in the evening? Too long.
Actually, simplest: I’m always doing my homework now. — but “always” + “now” conflicts.
Better: I’m always doing my homework after dinner. — but not standard.
Perhaps it’s quietly? Possible.
But let’s look at next ones for clues.
2. The _______ children played quietly.
→ Needs adjective → little, happy, young — any works. Most neutral: little
3. On cold days, I walk to school _______.
→ How? → slowly, quickly, alone — probably slowly (because cold)
4. The new chef cooks _______.
→ Adverb → well, quickly, deliciously — best: well
5. The small _______ slept peacefully.
→ Noun → child, dog, baby — pick child
6. The _______ dog chased the cat.
→ Adjective → big, fast, angry — pick big
7. Our new _______ works well.
→ Noun → teacher, computer, machine — pick teacher
8. During the summer holidays, I _______ life.
→ Verb → enjoy, love, hate — positive: enjoy
Now back to #1: “I’m always doing my homework _______.”
Most natural: late — implies procrastination, which fits “always”
Or carefully — also possible.
But given others are simple, let’s go with late
✔ Final answers for Part G:
1. late
2. little
3. slowly
4. well
5. child
6. big
7. teacher
8. enjoy
