The wug test, which uses nonsense words, is an excellent way to test whether a child has acquired a particular inflectional rule (such as the past tense or plural rule) because
a. the presence of a word such as horses, or walked in the child’s speech does not necessarily mean the child knows the rule for plural or past tense.
b. children must apply their knowledge of a rule to a nonsense word (such as turning wug into wugs to indicate use of the plural rule).
   c. working with nonsense words is more motivating to children than working with real words.
d. children might know a rule, but be unable to produce it in the wug test.
