Does anyone have any phrases or tips that I can use to remember the meanings of nouns, adverbs, adjectives and verbs? I’m really struggling to get them to stick in my head!

Thank you!!

Nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs

Noun – A noun is a word used to name a thing, a person, a place etc. As a general rule, it is something that you can put the word ‘the’ in front of. E.g. chair, person, house, weather, moon, river, plate etc…

Adjective – An adjective is a word used to describe a noun. E.g. sharp, fluffy, warm, dry, expensive, funny, fast, huge etc…

Verb – A verb is a ‘doing word’. It is a word that describes what someone or something is doing. E.g. run, spin, sleep, jump, fall, climb, draw, watch, swim etc…

Adverb – An adverb is a word that describes how something is done. They are a bit like adjectives but describe verbs instead of nouns. They quite often end in –ly. E.g. quickly, gently, noisily, kindly, carefully, angrily etc…
