Nouns 12 - Nouns and Verbs
Can you think of yourself forgetting the names of your friends, pets, places you visited, books you read or movies that you saw? It is unthinkable! The different parts of speech define the English language. They are eight in number and include what are familiar to you by now as nouns and verbs.
A noun is something that will help you to name your friends, pets, places you visited, books you read or movies that you saw. Verbs help you to describe various actions performed by you or your friends or your pets. Nouns and verbs form the backbone of a sentence and no sentence can be formed without the two.
Because of their importance you might think that nouns and verbs are two groups of words that are unique. However, you come across words such as SMOKE, MEASURE and GRIN that double up as both a noun and a verb.
