OpenStudy (juanpablojr):

Adjectives describe things as for shape color etc. I don't think it would be that. Waves sounds more like a thing (noun). But I am not an English expert. @camerondoherty \(Maybe~\color {green}s\color {green}h\color {green}e~can~\color {green}H\color {red}E\color {blue}L\color {orange}P~you.\)

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

What is parenthasized?

OpenStudy (gamer56):

wave

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

is a wave a thing?

OpenStudy (gamer56):

yes?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

yep so its a noun like @juanpabloJR said

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Because a noun is a person, place, or thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

verb is an action noun is a person place thing or idea adjectives describe a noun and pronouns are a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse

OpenStudy (juanpablojr):

\(\color {green}:\color {green}]\)

OpenStudy (gamer56):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (gamer56):

noun

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

That would be a verb because it is an acton they are setting the time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

set adjective [not gradable] (FIXED) /set/ › fixed or firm: There wasn’t a set time for us to get there. › If you are set on something, you have firmly decided about it: HMOs are good if you aren’t set on one specific doctor.
