SOME NOTES

This is meant as a pre- or post-assessment. Sometimes English is tricky (okay, more than sometimes).

VERBS:

Words like "don't" appear in this story activity, and as a contraction and auxiliary verb, I am not counting it as a verb learners will easily identify. If someone does circle it as a verb, then kudos to them! Maybe they get extra credit!

Any other words that take similar forms or that may cause discrepancy may appear, but the answer key shows the words I meant to be correct.

Use discretion when assessing students, as some words may not be on most students' radar.

NOUNS:

At least twice, a proper noun appears. "Distance" and "there" are also included as nouns, albeit spatial and almost abstract ones. "Past" also is included as a noun, a time-based one that may not easily be spotted. I am not including pronouns (you, we, etc.) as nouns in this case.

ADJECTIVES:

"Folding" could trip some learners up since it in many cases is a verb, but in the story's example, it's acting as an adjective (folding chairs). If anyone circles it as a verb, I say it's up to you whether you count it as such, but keep consistent between students. Otherwise, it's fairly straightforward and there aren't many.
