English grammar English 301

What is a Verb? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/verb noun any member of a class of words that function as the main elements of predicates, that typically express action, state, or a relation between two things, and that may be inflected for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and to show agreement with their subject or object. Example: “The fast cat ran.” What word in the sentence is the verb? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/verb

What is a noun? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/noun any member of a class of words that can function as the main or only elements of subjects of verbs, as “A dog just barked,” or of objects of verbs or prepositions, as “to send money from home, ” and that in English can take plural forms and possessive endings, as “Three of his buddies want to borrow John's laptop.” nouns are often described as referring to persons, places, things, states, or qualities, and the word noun is itself often used as an attributive modifier, as noun compound; noun group . See also noun adjunct, noun clause, noun phrase. Example: “The fast cat ran.” What word in the sentence is the noun? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/noun

What is an adjective? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/adjective Grammar . any member of a class of words that modify nouns and pronouns, primarily by describing a particular quality of the word they are modifying, as wise in a wise grandmother, or perfect in a perfect score, or handsome in He is extremely handsome. Other terms, as numbers ( one cup; twelve months ), certain demonstrative pronouns ( this magazine; those questions ), and terms that impose limits ( each person; no mercy ) can also function adjectivally, as can some nouns that are found chiefly in fixed phrases where they immediately precede the noun they modify, as bottle in bottle cap and bus in bus station. Example: “The fast cat ran.” What word is the adjective the the sentence? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/adjective

More practice… On a sheet of paper, write each sentence, labeling the Noun, Verb, and Adjective. For a bonus, try and find the subject of the sentence too! The red car drove. A dog was running fast. The woman was sad. The teacher graded the tests. The mom was smiling. The kids were playing. The cat was eating Going to the movies was fun. I worked hard at school. They were playing on the playground.
