品詞判断
空所前後の構造(冠詞・前置詞・主語/動詞/目的語)と語尾シグナルで、必要な品詞を即断する。
Part 5の典型パターンで「形容詞/名詞/動詞/副詞」のどれが入るかを迷わず判定できるようにする。
⚠️ひっかけ注意 — よくある失点パターン
- 名詞の -al(approval/arrival/proposal)と形容詞の -al(official/financial)を区別。
- friendly, costly, timely など -ly でも形容詞の語に注意(副詞ではない)。
- 「to」の後は不定詞か前置詞かを熟語で判別(be committed to ~ing, look forward to ~ing)。
- 前置詞 to + 動名詞の他例:object to ~ing / be opposed to ~ing / dedicate A to ~ing。
- 名詞+名詞(marketing strategy, safety standards など)も頻出。
