Festival – No Errors Found

[Isobel W]

I started the assignment and am really struggling to find a mistake that Festival makes with POS tagging. Are we allowed to have an input where festival doesn’t make a mistake but then explain why no mistake was made?

No, you have to find mistakes: instances where the output speech is incorrect. Festival’s POS tagger is really old and not particularly good, so you will find mistakes. You might need to craft sentences in order to do this. Think about ambiguity!
