Article are adjectives
+2
Level 65
Mar 24, 2021
There are various schools of thought on this. Some contend that articles are adjectives. They do modify nouns after all. Others say that articles are separate, a ninth part of speech. Still others claim that there is a ninth part of speech called determiners, which includes articles and words like "one," "two", "many," "any," "this," "those," "my," and "their."

Sep 22, 2010
Great quiz! I have one minor issue - on every other quiz on this site, "England" was never a permitted answer... I get is, since Scotland fields a team, but I kept typing in "United Kingdom" and "Great Britain" until time ran out! Still 82/88 ain't bad.

Level 48
Jul 31, 2014
England won the world cup, not the UK. For football purposes, the union is disbanded. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have yet to win :)
+3
Level 54
Jul 31, 2014
Scotland have to get out of their group first, and they've never done that in 8 appearances. Their appearances could have been another category here.

Aug 26, 2011
I had no idea what 'parts of speech' meant, I was trying things like tone, pitch etc. Had I known it was in regards to syntax I would have probably got most if not all of them! I think that category could be worded better.
+5
Level 37
Jul 31, 2014
what do you call them if not parts of speech? In Spanish they're called that (partes de la oracion).
+9
Level 78
Jul 31, 2014
Lexical categories? I also had no idea what "Parts of Speech" meant.
+1
Level 22
Jul 31, 2014
"categorías gramaticales" actually

Level 77
Oct 16, 2014
In Finnish they are "word classes".

Level 73
Nov 27, 2015
So someone knows what "lexical categories" are but not parts of speech? I call pedantry on this one.

Level 70
Mar 1, 2021
Types of words would have made sense to me. i inferred parts of speech was to do with the sounds, rather than the language.

In the United States at least, they are taught to school children as the 8 parts of speech. I'd be surprised if that's not the case in the UK as well.

They're called parts of speech in the UK too, some people forgot / didn't pay attention!

Jun 1, 2016
Parts of speech is the formal, accepted term for them. If you don't know that, that's on you, not the question.

Not everyone on jetpunk comes from a country where English is the main language. An extra hint in the question (like many other quizzes on jetpunk provide extra info, examples, ...) would help out the "foreigners" :)
+1
Level 71
Aug 14, 2019
But that's just making the question easier. If english is your second language then you probably know less about english parts of speech meaning you will probably get the question wrong as you should, because you don't have this knowledge. it's a question about the english language.
+1
Level 62
Aug 31, 2020
Ah yes "that's on you" because all the other languages in the world use a completely different word that even if you translate it litteraly to English, it's still completely different. And not even all English speakers use this apparently. But English, of course, has to be the weird guy again. Fun fact: there are non-English native speakers too!

Level 31

Same! In Dutch they're called "word types" or "word classes". Eventually I just googled what "parts of speech" meant...

If you didn't know what 'parts of speech' referred to, now you know.

Yay for Australia! NSW should be accepted for New South Wales if ACT is accepted for Australian Capital Territory. That parts of speech thing threw me too, I randomly put in 'verb' cos I was running out of ideas and then i figured that that's what it was on about...

Level 44

Mar 23, 2014
The eighth part of speech is article! Not pronoun! Pronouns are a type of noun!
+2
Level 77
Jul 28, 2014
I tried article as well. Almost didn't try pronoun for that reason.
+4
Level 37
Jul 31, 2014
pronouns are NOT a type of noun. This book. "this" is not a noun. It's a definite pronoun. Some people. "some" is an indefinite pronoun.
+2
Level 91
Jul 31, 2014
Yeah, there's some disagreement on the number of parts of speech, with determiners (including articles) often being broken out of adjectives, and other nitpicky issues that only grammarians really get (my wife is one of them). This group of 8 is the most commonly used grouping, though.
+1
Level 51
Jul 31, 2014
Indefinite artcle (a, an) definite article (the) gerund (swimming, sunbathing etc, a verb used as a noun) and probably more.
+1
Level 75

@nanook but a gerund is a verb conjugation

Schoolhouse rock did not have a segment on articles, so therefore they are not a part of speech.

Aug 22, 2022
It might be a tad silly to have a section dedicated to 3 words, although there is a song dedicated to zero...
+2
Level 75
Jul 26, 2016
According to the featured Parts of Speech quiz, there are 9 of them!
+2
Level 70
Jul 26, 2016
Articles are adjectives. At least that is what I learned in grammar school. Also as pointed out, no schoolhouse rock cartoon so not a part of speech.
+3
Level 36
Oct 9, 2017
You can omit an adjective from a sentence and it will remain grammatical; the same is not true of articles. They aren't the same thing, and old grammar textbooks are just wrong.
+2
Level 67
Jul 26, 2016
An article is a type of adjective.
+1
Level 62
Mar 5, 2017
From a syntax perspective, verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, tense, determiners, degree words, conjunctions, pronouns (behaves as a noun but is somewhat distinct) and complementizers (whether, if, that) should be the parts of speech.
+3
Level 90
Jul 24, 2014
Maybe it should just be called the Europe-South America Cup. The rest of the world (apparently) need not apply.
+1
Level 68
Nov 19, 2020
They always participate, though! Nigeria have made it to quarter finals, Ghana as well (although they really should have gone on to semis, if not for some really crass unsportsmanship by a horrible person), and South Korea made it to semis (but really shouldn't have, with faire refereeing). Anyway, clearly, two continent dominate the sport, but that doesn't mean that it isn't played worldwide!

I know. I can't remember the last time I actually spelt them out - it's always just WA, SA or NT, even when speaking. But, we're too used to abbreviating everything down here, I guess.

Aug 2, 2014
Wasted half my time on Parts of Speech. My strategy was to think of a couple of sentences and see what sorts of words were in them. Unfortunately, this didn't produce "Interjection". Also, the words "an" and "the" were in my sentences and didn't seem covered by any of the seven Parts of Speech I'd gotten. (They're definitely not adjectives. You can't say "I saw red car yesterday" nor "I saw seven the cars yesterday", but "I saw a car yesterday" and "I saw seven red cars yesterday" are fine.) So, there I was: "'Article'! Uh, I mean, 'Determiner'. No? Hmm ... golly, I thought for sure they were called Determiners ... um, 'Number'? 'Numerator'? This isn't working. Hmm ... 'Particle'? No? Coulda sworn there was a part of speech called a Particle.... Bah!"
+1
Level 83
Aug 5, 2014
It really depends on which text book you're looking at.
+3
Level 67
Feb 5, 2015
'An' and 'the' are part of a special branch of adjectives called articles. So yes, they are adjectives.
+2
Level 62
Mar 5, 2017
They are most decidedly not adjectives. "An" and "the" are determiners that appear in the specifier position of noun phrase (NP). Adjectives are words that modify nouns and are placed in the specifier position of N'.
+2
Level 52
Feb 15, 2018
They are adjectives. Article adjectives, to be precise. And the reason you can't say 'I saw seven red the cars yesterday' is because there is a natural order as to how adjectives go in a sentence. 'Red seven cars' also sounds wrong, but 'red' and 'seven' are both adjectives; they're just in the wrong order. 'A', 'an', and 'the' always go first among adjectives (for example, 'I saw the seven red cars yesterday').
+2
Level 83
Apr 4, 2019
I spent a decade teaching English. Trust me, it really depends on which text book you're looking at. There's no agreement on how many parts of speech there are or which things count or not, or how to label those things that do count. Honestly I think this category should be taken off the quiz but if it remains then it's no better or worse than any other list you find online.

Level 71
Mar 8, 2019
Kodiak bears are a unique subspecies of the brown or grizzly bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi). They live exclusively on the islands in the Kodiak Archipelago and have been isolated from other bears for about 12,000 years.

Canberra is the captal of the ACT, not a state or territory, and the question was asking australian states or territories. But i made the same mistake if it makes you feel better! :)

I must say, I've lived in London for close to two years, and I've never had a full English without one or two hash browns. Genuine question: is there some sort of official council with a royal warrant, or an obscure Act of Parliament that defines the full English breakfast?

What are you talking about? Cyprus is an island. The Northern part is a de facto state populated by people of Turkish origin, but that doesn't mean it's magically developed a land connection to Turkey itself.
