Nouns are names of persons, places, or things. "Early" is not a name; "verbs" show action, and is, was, were are linking verbs; "early" is not a verb. Adjectives describe or modify nouns. "Early" is not an adjective; thus, "early" is an adverb, for adverbs tell you "time" or "manner" or "place." The word "early" is letter D.
