The most common word used to tell more about a noun is an adjective. Examples:
A partitive noun is a noun to count or quantify an uncountable noun; or a noun which comes before a noun and shows that designates only part of something. Examples:
A subject complement is a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective that follows a linking verb that restates the subject of the sentence. A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the subject is or becomes the object. Examples:
An adjective comes before a noun or a pronoun to tell more about it.
No, a noun phrase does not have a verb; if there is a verb, it is probably a noun clause.A noun phrase is any word or group of words based on a noun or pronoun that can function in a sentence as a subject, object or prepositional object. A noun phrase can be one word or many words.She is coming. She is coming to the meeting. She is coming to the meeting with the board of directors.A noun clause is any group of words that contains a subject and a verb but can't stand on it's own. A noun clause is a subordinate clause that is usually introduced by a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun.Freddie slipped some hamburger to the dog who was begging under the picnic table.
No, the word 'Cathy' is a noun, a word for a person.The noun 'Cathy' is a proper noun, the name of a specific person.A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.Since the name 'Cathy' is usually for a female, the pronouns that take the place of the noun 'Cathy' are she as a subject and her as an object in a sentence.Examples:Cathy made the cake. She loves to bake. (the pronoun 'she' takes the place of the noun 'Cathy' as the subject of the second sentence)Cathy made the cake. I will tell her that you liked it. (the pronoun 'her' takes the place of the noun 'Cathy' as the direct object of the verb 'will tell')
to tell more about the subject.
The noun clause 'that I love you' is the indirect object of the verb 'tell'.
The noun clause is 'what books tell us', functioning as the subject of the sentence.
The direct object receives the action of the verb.
No, the word 'with' is a preposition, a word that is placed before a noun to tell its relation to another word in a sentence. Examples:I'm going to the movies with Janet. (relates the noun 'Janet' to the verb 'going')I like my fries with mustard. (relates the noun 'mustard' to the noun 'fries')
Yes, a predicate nominative will tell more about a subject noun.A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun that restates a subject noun following a linking verb. A linking verb acts as an equal sign, the subject is or becomes the object of a linking verb.Examples:My sister was the first in our family to graduate college. (sister=first)My sister become a graphic designer. (sister>graphic designer)
Yes, that's correct. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or explains another noun, and it is typically offset by commas for clarity. It provides additional information about the noun it follows.
The main job of an adverb is to modify a verb. An adverb can also modify and adjective, which is a word that 'tells more about a noun'. So, by modifying an adjective, an adverb is telling you more about the noun. Examples:a really hot dayfreshly laundered sheetsa broadly worded question
Subjects are the main noun of the sentence. Predicates, or verbs, tell what the subject is doing.
adjective describes the noun or establishes it's characteristics
adjectives?
No. Girl is a noun, and girlish is an adjective. An adverb form is girlishly. --- A noun is, generally speaking, a person, place, thing, or idea. An adverb, on the other hand, is a describing word that describes a verb. Adverbs often end in "-ly", such as "quickly", "loosely", "hungrily", or "wickedly". Verbs tell the reader what the subject did, adverbs tell the reader how the subject did it. So: The sentence "The dog ran quickly" makes sense because it has a noun, a verb, and an adverb. The words "The dog ran girl" is NOT a sentence, and doesn't make sense, because it has a noun, a verb, and another noun.

An adjective comes before a noun or a pronoun to tell more about it.
