is the word same an adjective, verb, adverb, or what? What about lively, danced, pranced, briefly,ontherooftop

Answer 1

same - adjective
lively - adverb
danced - verb
pranced - verb
briefly - adverb
on the roof top - sounds like a prepositional clause

Answer 2

Depends how the word is used in a sentence. English is one of the most difficult languages there is, especially because a word can be transformed into a number of things depending on how it is used. Dance is an action verb, because it describes an action (unlike something such as "is" which is a being verb, "dancing" fool is an adjective because it describes the noun "fool". An adverb describes a verb "think positively" it describes how one is thinking. Lively is an adjective, such as "he is lively" lively describes how he is (is=verb). Danced and pranced are both simple past tense verbs, and can be considered intransitive verbs because they require no object to make sense. "I pranced" "I walked." Briefly is an adverb depending if it is in a sentence such as "talked briefly" It modifies the verb (talked). I hope this helps, you may want to refer to some grammer books that will teach you the intricacies of the english language. But sometimes these things are so difficult and complicated to comprehend without getting a headache :)

Answer 3

Here are some clues that always got me through english.

ADJECTIVES are words that describe.
Example: The red apple........ The word "red" is the adjective.

ADVERBS are words that end in "ly"
Example: The red apple fell loudly on the silver plate.
The adverb here is "loudly"

Get a 4x6 notecard and write down what a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, pronoun, and linking verb is. Keep the notecard in your notebook for a quick reference. This will always help. It helped me!

Answer 4

Dictionary.com is a great resource for looking up words. The dictionary will usually tell you what part of speech any given word is.

As a quick short cut, anything ending with -ed is usually a verb (since -ed denotes a past tense action).
