Word Class Auction

How to play: Each team gets a budget. A sentence is shown with a claim about one word in it — is the word class right, and is the claim about its effect right? Teams bid on whether the claim is ✓ TRUE or ✗ FALSE (they can bid on both, to hedge). Right bids are paid back from the pot; wrong bids lose that stake. Richest team at the end wins!

Word-class identification (verb/adjective/adverb) plus a few connotation checks. Order is shuffled every game.
