Answer 3

No, the noun 'glass' is a common noun, a general word for a substance or a thing.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing; for example:

• Henry P. Glass, an American designer, architect, author, and inventor
• Glass Lake, NY 12018
• "The Glass Menagerie" a novel by Tennessee Williams

Answer 4

It can be either.

The noun glass can be the substance, or a drinking container.

The adjective glass means "made of glass" or metaphorically unseen (glass ceiling).

Another adjective form is glassy (having the appearance of glass, shiny).

Answer 5

Glass could be a noun or an adjective.

"Here's a piece of glass". This shows that the glass is a 'thing', which would make it a noun.

"Here's a glass cup". 'Glass' is describing what kind of 'cup' is being mentioned, making it an adjective.
