| Refresher on Nouns, Pronouns, Adjectives, Verbs, and Adverbs
Noun: person, place or thing. E.g. cat, door, girl, seat, car, cloud
Proper noun: a specific person, place or thing – always starts with a capital letter. E.g. Susan, Australia, Monday, June
Pronoun: replaces a proper noun. Pronouns include: I, we, they, them, their, she, he, him, her. E.g. Susan likes her best friend’s new car. Without pronouns the sentence would say “Susan likes Susan’s best friend’s new car” and that just sounds plain silly.
Adjective: describing word. E.g. small dog, yellow flower, noisy machinery.
Verb: a doing or being word. E.g. She ran up the street, the dog was barking.
Adverb: describes how, when or where of the verb. E.g. she ran up the street quickly – how did she run [verb]? quickly [adverb] E.g. the dog was barking loudly – how was he barking [verb]? loudly [adverb] * Adverbs usually end in ‘ly’. | |
