The Grammar Lesson

Steve Kowit

A noun �s a thing. A verb �s the thing it does.
An adjective is what describes the noun.
In "The can of beets is filled with purple fuzz"

of and with are prepositions. The �s
an article, a can �s a noun,
a noun �s a thing. A verb �s the thing it does.

A can can roll - or not. What isn �t was
or might be, might meaning not yet known.
"Our can of beets is filled with purple fuzz"

is present tense. While words like our and us
are pronouns - i.e. it is moldy, they are icky brown.
A noun �s a thing; a verb �s the thing it does.

Is is a helping verb. It helps because
filled isn �t a full verb. Can �s what our owns
in "Our can of beets is filled with purple fuzz."

See? There �s almost nothing to it. Just
memorize these rules...or write them down!
A noun �s a thing, a verb �s the thing it does.
The can of beets is filled with purple fuzz.
