What part of spech is correct?

Answer 1

It depends a lot on how you put it in as sentence. For example, if you say, "I wrote the correct answer on the test," then the word "correct" in that sentence would be an adjective, because it tells what kind of answer you wrote. However, if you say, "Your answer is correct," the word "correct" in this other sentence would still be an adjective, though it would be the predicate adjective, since "is" is a linking verb, and anything after the verb would be part of the predicate. There are more variations, like "I answered the questions correctly," in which case the added "-ly" prefix would make the word an adverb, since it describes the manner of how you answered the questions.

Answer 2

"Correct" can function as different parts of speech depending on its usage. As an adjective, it describes something that is accurate or free from errors. As a verb, it means to rectify or make something right.
