\"rainbowI mentioned in some other articles on the parts of speech<\/a> that it is never wise to brand any word with a “universal” part of speech.<\/a> We only brand a word with a part of speech<\/a> based on its use in a sentence. <\/a>For example, in the sentence<\/a> below, the word “house” is used in two different ways: first as a noun<\/a>, then as a verb.<\/a><\/p>\n

The house<\/em> is large enough to house<\/em> ten occupants.<\/p>\n

Note: The pronunciation of each usage would vary slightly.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, there are some words that can be only used as a single part of speech<\/a>, but generally, there are lots of variations.<\/p>\n

Triple Variations<\/h6>\n

Here are some sentences in which a single word is used in three different ways: as noun<\/a>, verb <\/a>and adjective<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The paper<\/em> which we use to paper<\/em> our books comes from the paper<\/em> factory.<\/li>\n
  2. The woman from the paint<\/em> department recommended this paint<\/em> for us to paint<\/em> out classroom.<\/li>\n
  3. We cover<\/em> our yearbook with a cover<\/em> showing the school colors in the cover<\/em> design.<\/li>\n
  4. We have to iron<\/em> out all difficulties in selling irons<\/em> in our new iron<\/em> business.<\/li>\n
  5. If we let too much dust light<\/em> on the walls, they will not reflect light<\/em> since the color is light<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  6. Take your order<\/em> forms so that you can get orders<\/em> from people who order<\/em> today.<\/li>\n
  7. Each cut<\/em> will be cut<\/em> carefully in cut<\/em> glass.<\/li>\n
  8. The brown<\/em> on the brown<\/em> cakes is made by bakers who brown<\/em> them in ovens.<\/li>\n
  9. Nelissa rose<\/em> and presented her friend with a single rose<\/em> in a beautiful rose<\/em> bowl.<\/li>\n
  10. It is important to steel<\/em> yourself against the intense heat when making steel<\/em> in steel<\/em> mills.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
