Check. Identifying parts of speech
Let’s classify the underlined words in the following text according to their word class or part of speech. You
can use the following dictionary to check: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/
 
Coding is an ability. With it you can “write” new types of things: interactive stories, games,
animations, and simulations. And, similar to traditional writing, there are powerful reasons for
people to learn to code.
