Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are parts of speech in English that have different functions within a sentence. It is important to understand these parts of speech and to know how to use them correctly.
Nouns
Nouns are things, places, people, and animals.
Nouns may be countable (apples, people, buildings) or uncountable (information, water, advice)

Verbs may be stative (like, love, cost, etc.), dynamic (run, drive, eat, etc.) or mixed (think, have, smell, etc.).
