About this resource
This quiz focuses on verbals in English grammar, specifically targeting the identification of participial phrases, gerund phrases, and infinitive phrases within complete sentences. The content aligns with middle school English language arts, particularly grades 7-8, as it requires students to demonstrate sophisticated grammatical analysis skills beyond basic sentence structure. Students must understand that verbals are verb forms that function as other parts of speech, and they need to distinguish between participles (which function as adjectives), gerunds (which function as nouns), and infinitives (which can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs). The quiz demands that students recognize these verbal phrases within context, requiring them to parse complex sentences and identify how each highlighted phrase functions grammatically. Students must also differentiate verbal phrases from prepositional phrases and basic verb phrases, demonstrating mastery of multiple grammatical concepts simultaneously. Created by Brittany Cospelich, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 7 and 8. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for reinforcing verbal identification skills after direct instruction on participial, gerund, and infinitive phrases. Teachers can deploy this assessment as a formative evaluation to gauge student understanding before moving to more complex grammar concepts, or use it as targeted practice for students who need additional reinforcement with verbal phrases. The quiz works effectively as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, homework to extend classroom learning, or review material before summative assessments. The varied sentence structures and engaging examples help maintain student interest while providing rigorous practice. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards L.7.1 and L.8.1, which require students to demonstrate command of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking, particularly in understanding and using verbal phrases correctly.
