Parts Of Speech Quizzes & Trivia

This English Test 1 Practice Quiz focuses on identifying different parts of speech, including pronouns, nouns, and components of sentences such as subjects and predicates.

2. He, she, it, mine, me are all examples of what?

Explanation

He, she, it, mine, and me are all examples of pronouns. Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns to avoid repetition and make sentences less repetitive and more concise. In this case, "he," "she," and "it" are personal pronouns used to refer to specific individuals or objects, while "mine" and "me" are possessive and objective pronouns respectively, used to show ownership or act as the object of a sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is pronouns.

Submit
3. Which of the following is an example of a PROPER NOUN?

Explanation

China is an example of a proper noun because it is the name of a specific country. Proper nouns refer to specific people, places, or things and are always capitalized. In this case, China is a specific country and therefore qualifies as a proper noun.

Explanation

"Jumped through a hoop" is an example of a predicate because it is the part of the sentence that provides information about the subject (the one who jumped). The predicate typically includes the verb and any other words or phrases that modify or complete the action of the subject. In this case, "jumped" is the verb and "through a hoop" is a prepositional phrase that further describes the action.

Explanation

Jealousy is an example of an abstract noun because it refers to a feeling or emotion that cannot be physically touched or seen. It is a concept that exists in the mind and cannot be perceived through the senses. In contrast, a book and a locker are concrete nouns because they are tangible objects that can be seen and touched.
