another day, another quiz

Today, I'm concentrating on making the quiz for "Nouns, Part 2: Singular and Plural Nouns." I still get a chuckle out of the illustration I'd put together in Photoshop for that unit:


This unit deals with the concept of singular/plural, with regular and irregular pluralization, and a little bit with concepts like countable/uncountable nouns. Part 1 dealt with common and proper nouns. This curriculum started off gentle and easy; if you're tuning in only now, you'll need to start at the beginning and catch up. Of course, there's no pressure: go at your own pace. I'm designing these quizzes for the paid Substack to be limited in scope, reviewing only the topics covered in each unit, so do proceed slowly if that's comfortable for you. I'll eventually make a test to cover all of the units in a section, which means that, for nouns, there will six quizzes before you see a test. As you know, my quizzes are only five questions apiece; the test, which will cover all six sections, will be twenty questions. That's going to take a while to get right with ChatGPT. Five-question quizzes are already 400-500 lines of code. And the test will include more than my quirky multiple choice: there'll be fill-in-the-blanks questions (type your answer), matching questions, and maybe even sequence questions.
