There are a few dictionaries that categorize the word 'free' as a noun, a word for 'free people'. Most dictionaries do not.

When the word 'free' is used as a noun as in "land of the free...", it can be considered poetic license; an abbreviated way to say "land of the free people...".

The word 'free' is considered an adjective, an adverb, and a verb.

  • The noun forms for the adjective free are freeness and freedom.
  • The noun forms for the verb to free are freer (liberator or emancipator), and the gerund, freeing.

Example sentences for the word 'free':

My prize was free tickets for a season at the ballpark. (adjective)

The stream was running free with the season's melted snow. (adverb)

It was time to free the bird from the rehab center. (verb)
