drag and drop text exercise

I am making an exercise in which text id drag from div(contain words) then drop them into text-fields (these are 3)..Each field has its own text to be placed .. I have already drag and drop the text but cant able to compare them for particular fields .. Please help me.. Here is my code :

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <style type="text/css">
      #div1 {width:350px;height:70px;padding:10px;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;}
      #div2 {width:350px;height:70px;padding:10px;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;}
      #div3 {width:350px;height:70px;padding:10px;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;}
    </style>
    <script>
      function allowDrop(ev)
         {

            ev.preventDefault();
         }

       function drag(ev)
       {
           ev.dataTransfer.setData("Text",ev.target.id);
        }

       function drop(ev)
           {
              ev.preventDefault();
              var data=ev.dataTransfer.getData("Text");
              ev.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(data));
           }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    verbs

There are a couple of things you need to change here.

You need to drag words and not sentences

<div id="drag1">I 
    <span id="play" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)"><b>play</b></span> the 
    <span id="guitar" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)"><b>guitar</b></span>
</div>

There should be some list containing the allowed words for each type

var nouns = ['guitar'];
var verbs = ['play'];

Finally there should be a condition during drop event

function drop(ev) {
    ev.preventDefault();
    var data = ev.dataTransfer.getData("Text");
    if(ev.target.id =='verb' && verbs.indexOf(data) != -1){
        ev.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(data));
    }
    else{
        alert(data + ' is not a ' + ev.target.id +'. Try again');
    }

}

Here is a demo for a single sentence
