The word 'grope' is both a noun and a verb.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of verb or a preposition.

A verb is the word that tells what the subject is or is doing.

EXAMPLES

  • A quick grope in the cereal produced the toy shown on the box. (noun, subject of the sentence)
  • As she was talking, I made a mental grope for her name. (noun, direct object of the verb 'made')
  • On his knees, he had to grope under the counter to retrieve the change that had rolled out of sight. (verb)
  • When the teacher called on him unexpectedly, he gropedfor something to say. (verb, past tense)
