Part 2: Drag the words into the correct box.

Now we sort these words into the correct parts of speech:

Words to classify:
- quick
- practice
- well
- laugh
- tiger
- politely
- kind
- quickly
- girl
- jump
- hospital
- it
- good
- them
- he

---

#### 🔹 Adjectives – describe nouns (e.g., what kind?)
- quick → fast (describes speed)
- kind → friendly, nice
- good → positive quality
- polite → well-mannered (though not listed directly, "politely" is an adverb form)

Wait — “politely” is an adverb, so only quick, kind, good are adjectives.

✔ Adjectives: quick, kind, good

> Note: "polite" is missing from the list, but "politely" is there — that’s an adverb.

---

#### 🔹 Verbs – actions or states
- practice → to do something repeatedly
- laugh → to make a sound of amusement
- jump → to leap
- eat → not in list, but "practice", "laugh", "jump" are all verbs

✔ Verbs: practice, laugh, jump

---

#### 🔹 Nouns – people, places, things
- tiger → animal
- girl → person
- hospital → place
- it → could be pronoun, but here it's a noun? Wait — no, "it" is a pronoun.

Wait: "it" is a pronoun, not a noun.

So:
- tiger, girl, hospital → all are nouns

✔ Nouns: tiger, girl, hospital

---

#### 🔹 Pronouns – replace nouns
- it → replaces a noun (like "dog")
- them → plural object pronoun
- he → subject pronoun

✔ Pronouns: it, them, he

---

#### 🔹 Adverbs – modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs (usually answer how, when, where, why)
- well → how she speaks → adverb
- quickly → how we finish → adverb
- politely → how you should be → adverb

✔ Adverbs: well, quickly, politely

---

✔ Final Classification:

| Adjectives | Verbs | Nouns | Pronouns | Adverbs |
|------------|------------|-------------|----------|-------------|
| quick | practice | tiger | it | well |
| kind | laugh | girl | them | quickly |
