❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a noun and a verb?

A noun names a person, place, animal or thing, like dog, school or apple. A verb is an action word, like run, jump or eat.

What age is this grammar game for?

It suits children from about 5 to 8, when they start reading simple sentences.

What if my child puts a word in the wrong box?

Ask them to try the word in a sentence. If you can put "I can" in front of it, like "I can run", it is a verb.
