Need URGENT help with homework. PLEASE HELP!!!?

Question

I have these vocab words and definitions but i have to write sentences. The problem is I don't know what part of speech they are and I really don't understand the definitions. So could you guys give me examples please?

1.) Hiatus= to suspend until a later time; a temporary gap; adjournment
2.)Addendum=post script; an addition to a book; a note added to a complete letter
3.) Overture; Prelude; Prologue=introduction to a musical performance, poem, or play
4.) Coda; Epilogue=a concluding musical selection; a concluding section of a literature work
5.) Preamble; Preface= introduction to a legal document; intro to a book, speech, or article

Answer 1

1.) Hiatus- The student took a hiatus from doing his homework.

2.) Addendum- Mr. Jones wrote the addendum to his book a month after he finished.

3.) Overture/prelude/prologue- Some people in the thater were talking noisily during the overture/prelude/prologue.

4.)When the band played the coda at the end, Rachel's flute exploded and she suffered from third degree burns. =D!!

5.) The beginning of the U.S. Constitution is called the Preamble.

Hope this helped! Although, if you are going to use this for an assignment, I would advise you change that one about my flute exploding. =D

Answer 2

All of those words are nouns.

Hiatus - a break
addendum - an addition to something already said or written, when you finish a conversation with someone, and say 'oh, by the way . . . ' your making an addendum
Overture, Prelude - an introduction that tells the main points of the work to follow. In music, it will contain bits and pieces of each section of the full piece, in a play or poem it will give a bit of background, and explain what is happening when the story starts.
Coda, epilogue - the end of a piece of music or a story, after all the action is over. In a movie, the epilogue would be the part where the guy and girl ride off into the sunset. It basicly tells you what happens to everyone after the story is over.
Preamble, Preface - the same as a prelude or prologue, but for a nonfiction book or story.

I hope this helps

Answer 6

First of all, your first definition is partly wrong. "To suspend until a later time" is the definition for a verb because it starts with the word "to", but hiatus is a noun. The best way to tell the part of speech of a vocabulary word is to look at the first word of the definition. If it starts with "to", it is a verb. If it starts with (or could start with) "a", "an" or "the", then it is a noun. Using this info, you can conclude that all of the vocabulary words are nouns.
