“I must trick him” what is trick in this sentence, is it a verb or a noun?

Answer 1

Hi there! In this sentence, "trick" is definitely a verb. You might be confused because "must" is also a verb. A hint for future knowledge - "trick" would only be a noun if it were preceeded by "a" or "the", as in:

"I must show him a trick."

"Did you show him the trick?"

I hope this helps!

Warmly,
