@kohai Which part of speech is the underlined word? My grandmother gave me a set of antique dishes. A. verb B. noun C. pronoun D. adjective

OpenStudy (kohai):

Make sure to say which word is the underlined word

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the underlined word is set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think B

OpenStudy (kohai):

Adjective. It's not an action, it's not a person place or thing, and it's not a she or he. "a word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it." -- a set describes the dishes. It would be a noun if the underlined word was dishes

OpenStudy (kohai):

Do you see the difference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do thanks
