Are there any words that can be used as a noun, verb, adjective or adverb?

Ответы · 3

Many words in English can have more than one part of speech.
Examples:
— ‘fast’ can be a verb, a noun, an adjective and an adverb.
— ‘light’ can be a verb, a noun and an adjective.
— ‘advance’ can be a noun, a verb and an adjective.
— ‘last’ can be a verb, a noun, an adverb and a determiner.
— ‘high’ can be a noun, an adverb and an adjective.
— ‘low’ can be a verb, a noun, an adjective and an adverb.
— ‘well’ can be a verb (well up), a noun, an adjective and an adverb.

This is Modern English! We do whatever our little hearts desire. We can take any word in the language and do whatever we want. In grammar there is a way to do everything. It may not be used much, you may have never heard it before, but it’s out there, somewhere, in Grammarsville, USA. We got it from the English who got it from some Friesians who got it from some Norse… you get the idea; it goes way back.

That’s what language is used for; but language does have its limits. Good Q !

There are plenty!

I’d suggest observing how the words are treated in context, instead of learning them word-by-word. I’ll use Learner’s example of «light».

As a noun: «a light», «the light», «lights»(as plural). Or if it sits where the subject should be — eg. «light is…(description)» — then you can assume it’s a noun here.

As a verb: «to light», «be lighting», «he/she/it lights». If it sits where you think there should be a verb (eg. after the subject: «you light…»), then assume it is a verb and guess the meaning from there.

As an adjective: «(a) light (something)». Adjectives usually sit before nouns, after the particle a/an/the. So if you find it here, assume it has a descriptive quality: a light colour, light person, light bulb.

As an adverb: this is pretty easy, most adverbs will have «-ly» added to the end. Again, look at where it sits in the sentence: usually directly before or after the verb, or placed at the end of the sentence if the focus is on the action: «she skipped over the stones lightly». In a case such as «lightly colour» or «colour lightly», you can guess «colour» is a verb an not a noun, since it’s so close to an adverb.

Not every word will be used in this way (eg. «the box», «to box» are fine but «boxly» is not recognised), but this may help you identify them.

There are several different parts of speech, which are categories of types of words. We are going to talk about four of the main eight parts of speech, which are nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Understanding the parts of speech will teach you to use words properly in a sentence and become a better writer.

Nouns

A noun is a person, place, or thing
Some examples of a person are: sister, friend, Alex, Stephanie, you, me, dog
Examples of places are: house, beach, New York, playground, the store
Things (can be physical things or ideas): chair, pencil, thoughts, memories, and knowledge.

Verbs

Verbs are action words! They are used to describe things that nouns do!
An example of a verb would be “run”. Run is a word to describe someone or something who is moving faster than a walking speed.
Other examples of verbs include: sing, watch, play, sleep, study, walk, and think.

Adjectives

Adjectives are describing words. They are used to describe nouns.
An example of an adjective would be “beautiful”. Beautiful is a word to describe someone or something. For example, the sky is beautiful. Since the sky is a noun, and beautiful is used to describe it, that makes beautiful an adjective.
Other examples of adjectives are: blue, dark, warm, happy, good, and fast.

Adverbs

Adverbs are words that describe verbs.
For example, quickly is an adverb because if you say you walk quickly, walk is the verb, and quickly is describing how you walk. Therefore, quickly is an adverb. An easy way to spot an adverb is by their ending, since they often end in the letters ly, like quickly.
Other examples of adverbs include: nicely, proudly, slowly, and firmly.

Some words can be used as either a noun, verb, adjective, or an adverb. Usually though, you’ll have to change the endings of the words depending on how you want to use them. The following chart has some examples of words that you can change to be different parts of speech.

Noun	Verb	Adjective	Adverb
decision	decide	decisive	decisively
creation	create	creative	creatively
sadness	sadden	sad	sadly
action	act	active	actively
quickness	quicken	quick	quickly
heal	health	healthy	healthily

List of Verbs, Nouns, Adjectives and Adverbs

It is very important to know how the words will change from one part of speech to another. For example, a noun beauty can be written as beautiful in adjective form beautifully in adverb form and beautify in the verb form. This kind of change will take place when we add suffixes and prefixes to the root word. Here, you will find a huge list of Verbs, Nouns, Adjectives, and Adverbs with the added prefixes and suffixes for the modification.

A suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the end of a word to make a new word. Suffix changes a word from one part of speech to another like a noun to an adjective.

A prefix is a letter or group of letters placed at the beginning of a word to modify or change its meaning.

Сводная таблица частей речи в английском языке

Так уж сложилось, что издавна во всех языках словообразование играло одну из первостепенных ролей. Обозначение разных частей речи и их название стало неким этапом в эволюции языка и языкознания.

Также как и в современном русском языке, каждое слово в английском принадлежит определенной части речи (part of speech), то есть категории слов, обладающих своими характерными признаками.

Part of speech — one of the grammatical groups, such as noun, verb, and adjective, into which words are divided depending on their use

Английские части речи классифицируются по синтаксической функции, грамматическому значению и форме. Следовательно, существуют самостоятельные (notional) и служебные (functional) части речи. Но в отличие от русского языка, в английском есть «переходные зоны» между частями речи. То есть одно и то же слово может выступать в роли разных частей речи. И в данном случае опорой служит сам контекст, а не форма слова.

Распознавание или предугадывание частей речи по контексту очень важный навык, если вы готовитесь к сдаче ЕГЭ или международных экзаменов. Понимание частей речи, безусловно, облегчит выполнение заданий в разы, а хорошая система подготовки определенно сыграет свою роль. В качестве помощи команда онлайн-школы Инглиш Шоу разработала курсы по подготовке к разнообразным экзаменам, начиная с ЕГЭ и заканчивая TOEFL или IELTS. Узнать, как это работает очень просто – стоит только записаться на бесплатный пробный урок и проверить эффективность обучения с преподавателем на себе!

Самостоятельные части речи в английском языке

Если у слова есть свое собственное лексическое значение, то его без сомнений можно отнести к самостоятельным частям речи. Произнося его, сразу становится понятен смысл слова. К самостоятельным частям речи в английском языке относятся:

Имя существительное (Noun)

Грамматика и теория русского языка даёт нам следующее определение существительного: оно называет людей, животных, места, абстрактные понятия, предметы. И для него характерно отвечать на вопросы: «Кто?» или «Что?».

В английском существительные бывают разные:

Common – нарицательные
Например: person – человек, teacher – учитель, log – бревно
Proper – собственные
Например: Stephen, Italy, America, Saturn
Compound – составные (состоящими из двух корней)
Например: post office – почтовое отделение, car park – парковка, textbook – учебник, bookcase – книжный шкаф
Abstract – абстрактные
Например: beauty – красота, intelligence – ум, democracy – демократия
Collective – собирательные
Например: family – семья, flock — стая, herd – стадо

Кроме этого, в английском есть четкое разделение на исчисляемые (countable) и неисчисляемые (uncountable). Исчисляемые они потому что их можно посчитать поштучно и все они имеют форму как единственного, так и множественного числа. И перед существительным в единственном числе мы ставим артикль (a/an).

Например:

I have got an orange and a banana.
У меня есть апельсин и банан.
There are a lot of cookies in this bowl.
В этой тарелке много печенья.

Стоит отметить, что к неисчисляемым существительным в основном относятся жидкости, сыпучие продукты, абстрактные понятия или те, которые существуют либо только в единственном, либо во множественном числе.

Например:

I don’t have much money.
У меня немного денег.
I like listening rock music.
Я люблю слушать рок музыку.
There is some rice in the bowl.
В тарелке есть немного риса.
Give me some information upon this case.
Предоставь мне информацию по этому случаю.

Существительные в английском образуются с помощью определенных суффиксов, по которым вы легко сможете определить эту часть речи:

ance: disturbance, relevance
ence: reference, occurrence
ity: complexity, scarcity
ment: disappointment, achievement
acy/cy: accuracy
age: percentage, breakage
an: Russian, American
dom: kingdom, freedom
hood: motherhood, brotherhood

В предложении эта часть речи может выполнять функции как подлежащего (subject), дополнения (object) или функцию complement (дополнения) внутри именного сказуемого.

Например:

We have accepted the invitation for the party.

(We – subject; invitation – object)
Мы приняли приглашение на вечеринку.

Вне всяких сомнений, существует ещё множество других нюансов, которые необходимо знать о существительных. Например, важно правильно образовывать множественное число. Об этом мы рассказывали в ролике:

Имя прилагательное (Adjective)

Мы используем прилагательные для описания существительных, то есть они характеризуют признаки предмета, человека или события. И отвечают на вопросы: «Какая?», «Какие?» и т.д.

В английском прилагательные подразделяются по степеням сравнения и бывают:

Положительной степени (Positive form)
Сравнительной степени (Comparative form)
Превосходной степени (Superlative form)

Например:

large – larger – the largest
большой – больше – самый большой

Более подробно со всеми правилами эта тема разобрана в нашей статье 👉 Степени сравнения прилагательных

Очень часто в предложении можно встретить описание из нескольких прилагательных, в таком случае они расположены в определенном порядке:

judgement – size – shape – age – colour – origin – material – purpose – noun
суждение – размер – форма – возраст – цвет – происхождение – материал – цель – существительное

💡 Чтобы было легче запомнить, ловите подсказку: чем прилагательное субъективнее, тем дальше оно от самого существительного.

Например:

There is a small, old, blue, plastic table.
Это маленький, старый, голубой, пластиковый стол.
I am a short, young, blue-eyed person.
Я молодой человек среднего роста с голубыми глазами.

Глагол (Verb)

Как мы помним со школьной скамьи, глагол – это слово «действие», которое характеризуется вопросами: «Что делать?», «Что сделать?» и так далее.

Вместе с подлежащим он представляет главные члены предложения и образует грамматическую основу.

Классификация глаголов в английском:

Semi-auxiliary – служебные
Auxiliary — вспомогательные
Notional – смысловые

Также очень важным моментом является то, что в английском глаголы подразделяют на:

Transitive – переходные (за которым следует объект или дополнение)
She is cooking the dinner.
Она готовит обед.
Intransitive – непереходные (которые не требуют после себя какого-либо дополнения, они просто характеризуют само действие)
He slept late this morning.
Он спал допоздна этим утром.

Ну и конечно же глаголы могут быть разных форм:

Infinitive – инфинитив или неопределенная форма глагола, в английском используется с частичкой to. Если без неё, то это будет форма bare infinitive (голый инфинитив).

Например: to go – идти, to cry – плакать, to unearth – раскопать
Base form – первоначальная форма, это тот же инфинитив, но используемый уже без частички to.
Past Simple form – форма прошедшего времени

И здесь стоит сказать, что существуют правильные (regular) и неправильные (irregular) глаголы.

Неправильные глаголы собраны в таблицу и их просто нужно выучить для правильного употребления в речи. А правильные глаголы образуют форму прошедшего времени путем добавления -ed.
Past Participle – причастие прошедшего времени, это третий столбик в таблице неправильных глаголов.

Примеры: beaten – побитый, broken — сломанный

Или если глагол правильный, то он образует вторую и третью формы с помощью окончания -ed.

Примеры: play — played, study — studied, watch — watched
Present Participle – причастие настоящего времени, это глагол с -ing или как его ещё называют — герундий.

Например: hoping- надеющийся, studying – обучающийся

Наречие (Adverb)

В целом, наречия в отличие от прилагательных характеризуют действия или глаголы и отвечают на вопросы: «Как?», «Где?», «Когда?», «Почему?», «Каким образом?».

Классификация наречий:

Manner – наречие образа действия:
Well – хорошо, slowly — медленно
Place – места:
Above – над, here – здесь
Time – времени:
Now – сейчас, then – тогда, soon – вскоре
Degree – степени:
Very – очень, really – реально, quite – достаточно
Frequency – частоты:
Once – однажды, twice – дважды

В основном наречия образуются с помощью суффикса -ly, который так сказать «определитель» для этой части речи, но, как вы заметили, исключения всегда имеют место быть.

Местоимение (Pronoun)

Судя по названию, местоимения мы используем вместо имён, то есть вместо имён собственных, предметов или качеств предмета.

В английском языке существуют следующие классы местоимений:

Object pronouns – личные, выступающие в роли объекта: me, him, her, it, us, you, them
He met me at the park yesterday.
Он встретил меня вчера в парке.
Subject pronouns – личные, выступающие в роли субъекта: I, he, you, she, we, it, they
They used to play tennis 10 years ago.
Они имели обыкновение играть в теннис 10 лет назад.
Reflexive pronouns – возвратные: himself, herself, ourselves, myself
We decided to do it by ourselves.
Мы решили это сделать сами.
Demonstrative pronouns – указательные: those, this, that, these
These are your pieces of equipment.
Вот это твоё оборудование.
Possessive pronouns – притяжательные: hers, his, mine, yours
These shoes are mine!
Это мои туфли!
Relative pronouns – относительные: who, which, that, whose
This was the man who stole your wallet.
Это тот мужчина, который украл у тебя кошелёк.

Числительные (Numerals)

Числительные показывают порядок предметов при счете и их количество. Для них характерными являются вопросы: «Сколько?» или «Который по счету?». Также, как и в русском языке, они бывают:

Cardinal numbers – количественными:

one, six, thirty, one hundred
Ordinal numbers – порядковыми:

first – первый, second – второй, third – третий, fourth – четвертый

Образование порядковых числительных происходит с помощью окончания -th, начиная с числа 4, а первые три числа нужно просто запомнить.

Служебные части речи в английском языке

Исходя из названия можно догадаться, что служебные части речи выполняют вспомогательную функцию и, так сказать, служат самостоятельным частям речи.

Служебных частей речи не так уж много:

Article – артикль
Conjunction – союз
Preposition – предлог
Paticles — частицы
Interjections — междометия

Cоюз (Сonjunction)

Союзы служат соединительными словами-связками, это своего рода взаимодействие однородных членов предложения. Или же они выполняют роль соединения предложений между собой.

Conjunctions for words of the same class (Союзы для однородных частей речи):

and, but, or, nor, yet
Conjunctions for clauses of sentences (Союзы для частей предложения):
as soon as, before, since, until, when, because, although, unless, so, where

Предлоги (Prepositions)

Как правило, предлоги показывают отношение существительного или местоимения к другим словам в предложении. Существуют такие категории, как:

Place – предлоги места:

in, at, on, by, above, over
Movement – предлоги движения:

from, to, in, into, on, onto, by, out, through
Time – предлоги времени:
at, on, by, before, in, from, since, during, until

Сложность выбора предлогов заключается в том, что нет строгой однозначности в их использовании. Поэтому хорошим советом здесь будет: Practise, practise & practise! Подробнее про предлоги места и времени читайте в нашей статье: predlogi-mesta-i-vremeni

Артикли (Аrticles)

В английском существует всего лишь два типа артиклей, по сравнению с другими романо-германскими языками, в которых их гораздо больше.

Definite article – определенный артикль – the

Используется в том случае, если субъект или объект являются определенными по ситуации или единственными в своем роде.

Например:

The football is blue.
Мячик является голубым. (Именно конкретный мячик)

The sun is shining brightly.
Солнце ярко светит. (Единственное в своем роде – the sun)
Indefinite article – неопределенный артикль – a/an

Данный артикль может употребляться только с исчисляемыми существительными и в единственном числе. То есть он просто служит неким обозначением предмета в единственном числе. Поэтому нужно быть предельно внимательными при его использовании.

Например:

A lotus is a flower.
Лотус – это цветок.

Более подробно про артикли читайте в нашей следующей статье: artikli-v-anglijskom-jazyke

Частицы (Paticles)

Частицы имеют свойство придавать словам дополнительные оттенки, значение. Они не имеют грамматических категорий, а также не являются членами предложения. Давайте посмотрим, какие же существуют классификации частиц:

Limiting — выделительно-ограничительные:

even, only, merely, solely, just, but, alone
Intensifying particles – усилительные:
simply, just, all, still, yet
Negative particle — отрицательная частица:

not
Additive particle — дополняющая частица:

else

Междометия (Interjections)

Междометия на самом деле не относятся ни к самостоятельным, ни к служебным частям речи, так как они не имеют особого смысла. Они лишь передают наши чувства и эмоции.

Например:

oh, eh, alas, er, hey, uhm

Эта таблица поможет вам определять части речи. Также, используя русско-английский словарь, вы можете посмотреть принадлежность слова к той или иной части речи. Но, чтобы начать лучше разбираться в грамматических аспектах, лучше начать изучение последовательно, к примеру, с глаголов и потом постепенно переходить к другим самостоятельным или служебным частям речи. Тогда вы сможете с легкостью выдохнуть — у вас не будет никакой каши в голове и сложностей в использовании на практике.

Также не стоит забывать, что построение английского предложения начинается с прямого порядка слов, о чем многие забывают при переключении с русского на английский.
