The Verb
A verb is a word which describes an action (doing something) or a state
(being something).
In each of the following sentences, the verb or compound verb is highlighted:
1. Dracula bites his victims on the neck.
2. The farmer searches the woods for his cow.
3. His automobile develops a motor trouble.

The Pronoun
A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like
"he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less
repetitive.
In the following sentences, each of the highlighted words is a subjective
personal pronoun and acts as the subject of the sentence:
1. I was glad to find the bus pass in the bottom of the green knapsack.
2. You are surely the strangest child I have ever met.
3. He stole the selkie's skin and forced her to live with him.
4. When she was a young woman, she earned her living as a coal miner.
5. After many years, they returned to their homeland.

The Adjective
An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or
quantifying words. An adjective usually precedes the noun or the pronoun which it
modifies.
In the following examples, the highlighted words are adjectives:
1. The truck-shaped balloon floated over the treetops.
2. Mrs. Morrison papered her kitchen walls with hideous wall paper.
3. The small boat foundered on the wine dark sea.
4. The coal mines are dark and dank.
5. Many stores have already begun to play irritating Christmas music.
6. A battered music box sat on the mahogany sideboard.
7. The back room was filled with large, yellow rain boots.

The Adverb
An adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a
clause. An adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause, or degree and answers
questions such as "how," "when," "where," "how much".
While some adverbs can be identified by their characteristic "ly" suffix, most of
them must be identified by untangling the grammatical relationships within the
sentence or clause as a whole. Unlike an adjective, an adverb can be found in
various places within the sentence.
