A noun is a naming word.
What is the naming word in the sentence:
�He named the ship LUSITANIA�?
�Named�, said George.
Wrong, it�s �ship�.
Oh, said George.
The teacher said:
A verb is a doing word.
What is the doing word in the sentence:
�I like doing homework�?
�Doing�, said George.
Wrong, it�s �like�.
Oh, said George.
The teacher said:
An adjective is a describing word.
