Verb: A verb is a word (part of speech) that in syntax conveys an action or a state of being.
  • I {verb} something


Noun: A noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing or abstract idea.
  • The {Noun} was according the plans


Adjective: An adjective is a name for a word that modifies (describes) a noun. Nouns are words that name a place, a person, a thing, or an idea. An adjective is a word that gives more information about the noun that goes with it (accompanies). Note: An adjective can't be plural.
  • The {adjective} work gave us a high profit.


Adverb: An adverb is a word used to tell more about a verb, and it almost always answers the questions how?, when?, where?, how often?, and in what way?. Words like slowly, loudly, carefully, quickly, or sadly are all adverbs. Adverbs usually, but not always, end in -ly.
  • The work was done {adverb}
