The word 'starvation' is a noun; a word for the suffering or death caused by hunger.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

  • Starvation is caused by natural disaster or man-made disaster. (subject of the sentence)
  • The physical damage that starvation causes can take years to overcome. (subject of the relative clause)
  • China's 'Great Leap Forward' caused the starvation of many people. (object of the verb 'caused')
  • Many people in Jamestown died of starvation. (object of the preposition 'of')
