Question

What part of speech is the italicized word in the sentence below?

Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

adjective
conjunction
adverb
preposition
verb

Answer 1

forth is italicized

Answer 2

It's an adverb because the continent is being brought forward (forth def.) and that would be considered modifying a verb. (adverb def. you probably already knew)

Answer 3

I think that @kaylie.sullivan is right because I researched it and found that the only right answer would be that. (adverb) :D

Answer 4

I would suggest that it is an adjective as it is supplying part of the amount of years, that with four and seven is in effect saying 87 years ago,

Answer 5

the word is forth, not four ^
"the world brought FORTH upon this continent"

Answer 6

thanks
