Part of speech
Press Generate and a word appears with its part of speech underneath. The same tool covers nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, so you can switch between them without leaving the page - useful when an exercise needs one of each.
The four filters map onto the parts of speech that most writing and grammar work turns on. Nouns name things, verbs carry the action, adjectives describe nouns and adverbs modify verbs. Choosing a filter before the draw means every word that comes up is usable straight away, rather than needing to be sorted first.
English lets the same word do different jobs. Bargain is a noun in one sentence and a verb in another, and words like that appear under both filters here. That is not a mistake in the list - it is a useful thing to point out when teaching, because it shows that part of speech depends on the sentence rather than the word alone.
Drawing words at random removes the quiet bias in hand-picked examples, where a teacher tends to reach for the same familiar words. Pull one noun, one verb and one adjective and you have an instant sentence-building prompt; pull twenty of one class and you have a sorting exercise.
The list is filtered to the part of speech you chose, then a word is drawn using your browser's cryptographic random source with rejection sampling, so no word is favoured. Batches without repeats use a Fisher-Yates shuffle driven by the same source.
Leave the filter on Nouns and press Generate. One noun appears with its part of speech underneath.
Yes. The filter switches the pool to verbs, adjectives or adverbs, so the same tool covers all four parts of speech.
Yes. Raise the quantity and one press gives a whole list with no repeats, ready to copy.
Because English works that way. A word like bargain is listed under both, and the filter decides which role you get.
Yes. Drawing words by part of speech gives instant examples for sentence building, word sorting and parts-of-speech practice without preparing a worksheet.
Yes. Every word is drawn with your browser's cryptographic random source, so each word in the chosen part of speech has an equal chance.
