Let’s go step by step to sort the words into Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives.

First, remember:
- Nouns are people, places, things, or ideas (like “boat”, “sun”, “money”).
- Verbs are action words (like “see”, “drive”, “sing”).
- Adjectives describe nouns — they tell us what something is like (like “busy”, “loud”, “tall”).

Now let’s look at each word one by one:

1. boat → thing → Noun
2. grass → thing → Noun
3. dead → describes something that’s not alive → Adjective
4. see → action → Verb
5. busy → describes someone/something doing a lot → Adjective
6. head → body part → Noun
7. drive → action → Verb
8. salty → taste description → Adjective
9. loud → sound description → Adjective
10. sun → thing in sky → Noun
11. toy → thing you play with → Noun
12. steep → describes a hill or slope → Adjective
13. study → action (to learn) → Verb
14. money → thing you use to buy stuff → Noun
15. sing → action → Verb
16. tall → height description → Adjective

Now let’s group them:

✔ Nouns: boat, grass, head, sun, toy, money
✔ Verbs: see, drive, study, sing
✔ Adjectives: dead, busy, salty, loud, steep, tall

Wait — let’s double-check counts:

Total words = 16

Nouns: boat, grass, head, sun, toy, money → 6
Verbs: see, drive, study, sing → 4
Adjectives: dead, busy, salty, loud, steep, tall → 6
6 + 4 + 6 = 16 ✔️ Perfect!

Now for the sentence: Pick any two words from above and make a simple sentence.

Example: “I see a tall tree.” → uses “see” (verb) and “tall” (adjective)

Or: “The busy bee sings loudly.” → uses “busy” (adj), “sings” (verb)

You can pick any combo — just make sure it makes sense!

Final Answer:

Noun: boat, grass, head, sun, toy, money
Verb: see, drive, study, sing
Adjective: dead, busy, salty, loud, steep, tall

Sample sentence: *I see a tall tree.*
