Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to figure out if the underlined word is a
noun,
verb, or
adjective.
Remember:
- A
noun is a person, place, thing, or idea (like “dog,” “school,” “lunch”).
- A
verb is an action or state of being (like “run,” “eat,” “is”).
- An
adjective describes a noun (like “big,” “funny,” “long”).

1. I read a
long book.
→ “Long” tells us what kind of book — it describes the book. So it’s an
adjective.
2. That is a
funny hat.
→ “Funny” describes the hat — what kind of hat? A funny one. So it’s an
adjective.
3.
John never listens to me.
→ “John” is a person’s name — that’s a
noun.
4. Can I have a
donut?
→ “Donut” is a thing you can eat — that’s a
noun.
5. No,
eat your apple.
→ “Eat” is something you do — it’s an action. So it’s a
verb.
6. The pot on the stove
boiled.
→ “Boiled” is what the pot did — it’s an action. So it’s a
verb.
7. Ryan forgot his
lunch.
→ “Lunch” is a thing — something you eat. So it’s a
noun.
