Question 2

Which word is a subordinating conjunction?

Answer

'Although' is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a subordinate clause. 'And', 'but' and 'or' are coordinating conjunctions.

Question 3

What is the correct spelling?

Accepted Answer

Definitely

Answer

The correct spelling is 'definitely'. A common trick is to remember it contains the word 'finite'.

Question 4

Which sentence uses an apostrophe correctly for possession?

Accepted Answer

The children's books were on the shelf.

Answer

'Children's' is correct because 'children' is already plural, so the apostrophe goes before the 's' to show possession. The books belong to the children.

Question 5

What type of word is 'quickly' in the sentence: 'She ran quickly to school'?

Accepted Answer

Adverb

Answer

'Quickly' is an adverb because it describes how the verb 'ran' is performed. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
