Nouns, etc.
An adjective is a descriptive word, like the color brown or
upside down.
A verb is an action word – as in the swimmer may drown or
the teacher may frown.
An adverb modifies a verb or another adverb: rain is falling
down, she is growing round.
A pronoun (such as who, where, which, what, this, that, these,
those, his, hers, etc.) takes the place of a noun.
And a noun may be a person, a clown; a place, a town; or a thing -
like a king's crown, or an evening gown, or a goose's down.
Story 281
How They Would Grouse!
When Karl Kraus told Rebecca Grauss, "Woman, why don't you
change that ugly blouse?" She became infuriated and screamed at her
would- be spouse.
"You're a little mouse, a lazy louse, and a drunken souse." And then,
with the point of her shoe she kicked Kraus straight out of her house.
