Is green a verb or an adjective?

Answer 1

In that sentence,, the word "green" is functioning as an adjective, describing the noun "apple" as a predicate adjective (subject complement) following the linking verb "is" (apple = green).

Answer 2

Green is not formally an adverb. It is an adjective or a noun (the name of a color).

*It is used colloquially in slogans such as "Think green" meaning in an environmentally conscious or responsible manner.

Answer 3

It is an adjective because it is descriptive. If you say "that is a green apple" Then it is a noun, because the green and the apple go together as a name.

Answer 4

Green can be an adjective (something green) or a noun (the color green).

There is no formal adverb greenly but there is "greenishly."

Answer 5

No. Apple is a noun that is often used as a noun adjunct, as in apple tree and apple pie.

Answer 6

It can be either, but more typically an adjective.

The word green can be a noun (color), an adjective (color of something), or a verb (to make green, to add greenery).
