Understanding Nouns and Verbs
In the bustling city, a young girl **runs** through the crowded streets, her backpack bouncing with each step. She **enjoys** exploring new places and **dreams** of adventures beyond her neighbourhood. Her day **starts** early, and she **hopes** to discover something exciting. Nouns like 'city', 'girl', 'streets', and 'adventures' name things, while verbs such as 'runs', 'enjoys', 'dreams', and 'starts' describe actions or states of being. Recognising the difference between these parts of speech can help you write more clearly and effectively.
