How Well Do You Know The English Parts Of Speech?

9/9; easy for an Englsih teacher. This must be British English because in American English the more acceptable spelling is all right (not alright).

5/9 O.K. I'm no good at language. Maybe it's because I'm a Yorkshire man !!

William Laughlin, Please check the comments from Mrs. Katz from two years ago about this sentence and the replies to her, including mine. Have is the verb. To shuck is the infinitive used as a noun, so to shuck becomes the direct object. Another player suggested the very modern use of "have to" is the verb, in which case shuck is the direct object anyway. Please tell us what you think about its usage in the sentence. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Cheryl Galster-deitering, Was is the linking verb. Delicious becomes the predicate adjective, referring back to cake. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Ken Putnam, What part of speech is have to, then? I was thinking of have alone in my other comment. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Alejo Planchart, Have is the verb. Please look for Mrs. Katz's comment from two years ago, and the replies to her, regarding using shuck as the direct object in the sentence. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Julie Allen, Could to shuck be the direct object? I was thinking that have was the helping verb, but Mrs. Katz alerted me that to shuck is another noun in this sentence. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Ken Putnam, Yes, shuck is a verb, but to shuck is used as the direct object in this sentence. I was thinking that have was the helping verb, but Mrs. Katz pointed out the to in the sentence. Read it again, please. I am trying to puzzle through it, as well. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Shoshana Katz, Now, I see what you mean. Would to shuck the corn be a direct object phrase? Would it be equivalent to: We need to go to the store? Thank you, Christine, James' wife

6 / 9. Not bad. As long as I know how to use parts of speech then I don’t really need to know what the different parts are called!

Nice little quiz with answers gave me a slice of cake.

Thanks for answers. All correct. Satisfying.

Thanks for the answers!
