Try a sample Expanded noun groups question
Question 1 — Easy
Mei walked __slowly__ along the beach at Noosa, collecting shells. What part of speech is the underlined word 'slowly'?
Answer: 'Slowly' describes how Mei walked, modifying the verb 'walked', which makes it an adverb.
Question 2 — Medium
Read the sentence and identify the underlined word's grammatical role. 'The excited children ran __quickly__ towards the Sydney Harbour fireworks.' What is the grammatical role of the word 'quickly'?
Answer: 'Quickly' describes how the children ran, modifying the verb 'ran'. A word that modifies a verb is called an adverb.
Question 3 — Hard
Which sentence uses the correct form of the adjective to compare more than two things? The students were ranking three Australian animals by size.
Answer: Option C is correct — When comparing more than two things, the superlative form 'largest' is used. Options A and B incorrectly double the superlative, and option D uses the comparative form 'larger', which is only for comparing two things.
