Quiz: Review Parts of Speech is a Grade 5 English worksheet with 15 multiple-choice questions. Students identify the part of speech of an underlined word in a sentence, distinguishing among nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. The final questions extend the review to proper nouns and the meaning of the “N” in the F.A.N.B.O.Y.S. mnemonic. This free printable worksheet helps students apply parts-of-speech knowledge in complete sentences rather than memorize definitions in isolation. It is useful for whole-class review, independent practice, homework, or a quick formative check of grammar understanding. A complete answer key is included so teachers can review students’ choices and address category confusions efficiently.

WorksheetsAnswer KeyThis Grade 5 worksheet uses 15 multiple-choice items to have students identify the part of speech of an underlined word in context. It reviews nouns, proper nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections, then checks the meaning of the “N” in F.A.N.B.O.Y.S. Completing the sentence-based items helps students classify words by how they function in each sentence.
Use the worksheet after introducing the categories and ask students to explain which clue in each sentence supports their choice. Discuss examples such as words describing an action or manner, words showing position such as “under,” conjunctions such as “but,” and interjections such as “Wow!” Before the final items, review proper nouns and use F.A.N.B.O.Y.S. to connect coordinating conjunctions with the answer choice “Nor.”
Students may confuse an adverb that describes how an action occurs with an adjective that describes a noun, or mistake a pronoun for the noun it represents. They may also confuse prepositions showing position with conjunctions linking ideas, especially in the sentence containing “but.” Check that students distinguish a proper noun such as “Arizona” from a pronoun and remember that the “N” in F.A.N.B.O.Y.S. stands for “Nor.”
