How to distinguish English nouns?

English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs can be distinguished from the following points:

First, the part of speech is fixed and the position is different.

Nouns are generally in the position of subject or object, verbs are in the position of predicate, adjectives are used to modify nouns, generally next to nouns, adverbs are used to modify verbs, generally in the position of adverbials.

1. Noun (abbreviated as n.) is a kind of part of speech and belongs to content words. Nouns represent the names of people, things, places or abstract concepts, and nouns are divided into proper nouns and common nouns.

2. Verbs are usually words used to express actions or states. In English, verbs are mainly divided into two categories according to their functions, one is predicate verbs and the other is non-predicate verbs.

Adjectives are mainly used to describe or modify nouns or pronouns and express the nature of people or things. State, feature or attribute, often used as attribute, can also be used as predicative, complement or adverbial.

4. Adverbs (adv for short) refer to words that express the characteristics of behavior or state in sentences, which are used to modify verbs, adjectives, other adverbs or the whole sentence and express concepts such as time, place, degree and way. Adverbs can be divided into time adverbs, frequency adverbs, place adverbs, mode adverbs, degree adverbs, question adverbs, connection adverbs, relationship adverbs and order adverbs.

Second, pay attention to accumulation.

After mastering the basic definition, you need to accumulate more fixed usage in your usual study.
