The following claims were verified through Perplexity Sonar before the questions were finalised. The host can reference any of them during play:

• The eight basic parts of speech taught in Grades 5–6 are noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, preposition, conjunction, and interjection[6].
• A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, idea, or animal[6].
• A pronoun is a word used to replace a noun, such as 'he', 'she', 'it', or 'they'[6][8].
• A verb is a word that expresses an action or a state of being, like 'run' or 'is'[4][6].
• An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb and often tells how, when, or where something happens[6].
• An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun by telling what kind, how many, or which one[6].
• A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence, often indicating location, time, or direction (e.g., 'in', 'on', 'at')[4][6].
• A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses, such as 'and', 'but', or 'because'[4][6].
• An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses strong emotion or surprise and is often followed by an exclamation point (e.g., 'wow!', 'oh!')[6].
• In Grade 6, students learn to identify the function of pronouns and recognize and correct inappropriate shifts in verb tense[8].
• Grade 6 students must use context clues, such as a word's position or function in a sentence, to determine the meaning of words and their part of speech[1][7].
• Non-count nouns (e.g., 'rice', 'paper') are a specific type of noun taught in Grade 6 where students learn to identify parts of speech in context[4].
