You have done an excellent work ! But let me tell you a little more about some words !

A word can have different functions (and meanings). Be ALERT. I hate to see a fly around. Wild swans fly great distances.

(noun) (verb)

I saw him yesterday.

(verb)

I have a new saw.

(noun)

Your watch is very cute. I watch TV on weekends,

(noun) (verb)

Now your turn to classify (words in red) Helen has a pretty face. You must face everyday problems. I bought a new brush. The girls brush their teeth after meals. The train travels across long distances. My company will train new clerks. The file is on your desk. The clerk will file these documents.

There’s much more to say, but now let’s

take a break ! verb ? or

noun ?

Have a nice day and Enjoy English !
