Would it covers be an adjective?

Answer 1

"It covers". I think that covers is a word... if that's what you are talking about.

As in, "Metaphor is a broad term. It covers many ideas"? No. I can see how you could think of "it covers" as an adjective because it comes before the noun "ideas," but "It" is the subject and "covers" is the verb in the complete sentence, "It covers many ideas."

Above, "It" is the subject because it is the focus of the sentence. All other thought will come out of that word. "Covers" is the action that "It" performs.

Meh.
