NOUN
A noun is a person, place, or thing - singer, studio, song.
Plural nouns are, of course, more than one noun - singers, studios, songs
PRONOUN
A pronoun is a special kind of noun. It is a word you can use instead of a noun to keep from repeating yourself. There's only a few of them.
Some of them are used as subjects (usually located at the beginning of the sentence):
I, you, he, she, they, we, it
Others are used as objects (usually located at the end of the sentence):
me, you, him, her, them, us, it
PROPER NOUN
A proper noun is a name, like Stevie or Lindsey.
VERB
A verb is a word that shows action or a state of being - sing, dance, bang
Past tense is that verb in the past - sang, danced, banged
Singular is the form of the verb you use with he/she/it: - sings, dances, bangs
When you add "-ing" to the verb you make it an act that is happening - singing, dancing, banging
ADJECTIVE
A word that "modifies," or describes a noun - sexy, fast, sweet, afraid
He had a sexy smile (sexy describes the smile).
ADVERB
A word that "modifies," or describes a verb.
In English, these words often end in -ly - sexily, quickly, sweetly, frighteningly.
He was smiling sexily. (this is not about the smile itself, but the act of smiling, so it's describing a verb, and is therefore an adverb).However, there are adverbs that do not end in -ly. Two examples: "far" - I had to go far to see Fleetwood Mac live - and "wrong" - The man just got it wrong. Words like these are adverbs because, once again, they are describing the verb.
Sometimes The most beautiful things The most innocent things And many of those dreams Pass us by Keep passing me by You feel good I said it's funny that you understood I knew you would When you were good You were very, very good So I close my eyes softly 'Til I become that part of the wind That we all long for sometime, yeah And to those that I love Like a ghost through a fog Like a charmed hour And a haunted song And the angel of my dreams Angel of my dreams....
