OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, ok, got it! Ok, hopefully describes something...so? Begins with an A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And this-is a noun also, it describes a thing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

begin-describes action-so it would be a verb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, ok, got it! Ok, hopefully describes something...so? Begins with an A, so this would be an adjective. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looking is also a verb, it describes what people are doing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do u get it? Anything else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, no! Begin is a verb, it describes what the people are doing.
