Chapter 4: Write Your Own Alice In Wonderland ChapterNouns, Verbs, Adjectives, and Adverbs

A NOUN is the name of a person, place, or thing, such as friend, school, or book. PLURAL means more than one.

An ADJECTIVE is a word that describes a noun, such as sticky, quiet, or jumpy.

A VERB is an action word. It tells what a noun does, such as run, read, or scream.

An ADVERB tells how something is done. It describes a verb and often ends in "ly." Easily, bravely, and truthfully are adverbs.
