What is a noun, adverb, and adjective?

Answer 1

What is a noun, adverb, and adjective?

Put succinctly, they are a few examples of the various parts of speech.

Nouns & Verbs

A verb is any word used to express an action, occurrence, or state of being. It indicates what the subject (noun) is doing, being, or experiencing.

A noun is any person, place, thing, or idea (abstracts). There are different kinds of classifications of nouns but ultimately they refer to one of those four.

Abstract nouns would be something like an emotion or concept like love, courage, jealousy, etc. Things that can't be described by the 5 main senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, sound).

Common nouns are what you would expect. They are never capitalized unless they begin a sentence. These kinds of nouns tend to be the kind that classifies the objects discussed within them. These are the places, people, and things without a specific (proper) name; e.g., park, bus, pencil, girl, boy, city, stars, burgers, etc.

Proper Nouns are always capitalized no matter their placement in a sentence. These refer to particular names of people, places, or things. Some examples of proper nouns: (a person's name) Alice and Bob, (name of a thing) Samsung Galaxy Note 8, (name of a place) both Central Park and the place it resides in Manhattan are both proper nouns and should both be capitalized.

Nouns are always used in the subject part of a sentence. Predicates describes what the subject is, does, or experiences. A noun in the predicate would be considered a predicate noun that better describes a subject. E.g., Burglin Park is a dog park. Dog park here would describe what kind of park Burglin Park is.

Modifiers and Descriptors

Adverbs and adjectives are similar to each other in their ability to modify various aspects of a sentence.

Adjectives modify the nouns with descriptors. They help identify and describe the nouns within a sentence.

A car. A blue car. A fast car. A slow car.

Or quantifies it in some way:

Seven cars drove by. Many cars were on the road.

Adjectives almost always appear before the nouns they describe unless it is being used in the predicate. In which it would be known as a predicative adjective.

The car is blue. The predicate in this case is used to describe the noun. This is usually the case with sensory language. Such as to be, is, felt, looks like, etc.

Adverbs usually end with -ly and they modify other adverbs, adjectives, and of course verbs.They are often born from their adjective cousins by adding suffixes but can be differentiated because they do not modify a noun directly. If it seems like it does, the usage of the word is most likely to be adjective in nature.

"Adverbs add something to a verb," is an easy way of remembering.

The boy ran. How did he run? He ran sluggishly (adverb). He sluggishly ran (adverb). The sluggish boy ran (adjective).

Because they usually modify an action (verb) they usually appear in the predicate in syntactical proximity to the word they are modifying.

Answer 2

The above responses explain and define these parts of speech accurately. I would add the following helpful hints for identifying these parts of speech:

Most nouns can be preceded by an article - a, an, the

Many nouns end in NESS, MENT, ISH, Y

Most verbs can be preceded by the word "to". (applies to action verbs)

Many adjectives end in AL, OUS, IOUS,

Many adverbs end in ly

Adverbs answer the questions how, when, where, why in relation to the verb in the sentence

Answer 3

Noun- Definition

Noun is a name of a person, place or a thing. For example; table, chair, Tom, James, museum, zoo, island, ocean, boy, girl etc.

Adverb- Definition

An adverb describes a verb and adds meaning to a verb or an adjective too. For example; quickly, silently, bravely, very, hurriedly etc.

Sentence = His dog eats quickly. When his dog is hungry, he eats really quickly.

Sentence = Sara prefers to read silently before going to bed.

Adjective- Definition

An adjective describes a noun. For example; fluffy cat, faithful dog, shiny dress, tall man, short girl. So in these examples, fluffy, faithful, shiny, tall and short are adjectives.

Sentence = I adopted a fluffy cat last month.

I saw a beautiful shiny dress in the shop, but it was very expensive.

I hope these examples help you categorize these parts of speech. Preferably, practice them regularly by using them in sentences, or find these parts of speech in whichever book you are reading to strengthen your concept. Good luck, happy learning.

Answer 4

Noun is the object or subject of a sentence

fox or Jerry or they or them (although the last too are pronouns which function as nouns)

Adjectives add to the subject or object put that together you get ad-jective

brown fox, tall Jerry

Adverbs add to the verb, put that together you get ad-verb

verbs are for action, although they can be passive. something is being done

run slowly, slowly modifies or describes run

run is usually a verb, but it could be a noun, as in Jerry entered the 5K race or run

running is fun treats running as a noun

Answer 5

Adjective : a word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it.

Examples : Dull, Sharp, Red, Bumpy

Adverb a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc. (e.g., gently, quite, then, there ).

Noun : a person, place or thing

Example : White House, bicycle, and baby

Singular Nouns name one person, place, thing, or idea.	cat, sock, ship, hero, monkey, baby, match
Plural Nouns name more than one person, place, thing, or idea.	cats, socks, ships, heroes, monkeys, babies, matches
Possessive Nouns show ownership.	Mom's car, Beth's cat, the student's book
