I've finally added to my word-find puzzle over at The Entertaining on Substack. There are two new puzzles there now, one on nouns and the other on verbs. I'd wanted to embed an interactive crossword, but Substack won't allow it, so it's just an old-school image on a page, like the word find. Sorry. The crossword across/down questions are all based on material covered in The Profound, my grammar curriculum. Both The Entertaining and The Profound are behind a subscriber paywall, but as I said on my About page, it's not a very high paywall at all: just the cost of a single cup of Starbucks devil brew per month. So please think about subscribing. If my thousands of daily bot visitors had any initiative, they'd go over to Substack, and I'd be a rich guy by now, with thousands of subscribers.
Some sample questions from the crosswords (in no particular order):
- Alumni is the _____ form of alumnus.
- Phil, Salim, Reka, and Sophie are _____ nouns, i.e., not general names or labels.
- Nouns about masses or single quantities are called mass, non-count, or _____ nouns.
- Verbs with no objects are _____ , as in, He grew tall.
- He looks strange. She is a chef. The verbs looks and is are _____ verbs.
Having a fun! as the Konglishies say.
Every knows that verbs with no objects are... aimless. They should also probaby get haircuts and jobs.
