Ali looks good in his favorite color,red. How is the bolded word (red) used? A. Participle B. Verb C.Gerund D.Apposotive
Red is a color/ adjective so It would NEVER be a verb. That means that B. ISN'T the answer.
A Principle is a form of a verb that is used in a sentence to modify a noun, noun phrase, verb, or verb phrase, and then plays a role similar to an adjective or adverb. It is one of the types of nonfinite verb forms.
A Gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing." The gerund form of the verb "read" is "reading." You can use a gerund as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence.
And An Appositive is a noun or pronoun that renames or identifies another noun or pronoun in some way. An appositive phrase consists of an appositive and its modifiers. Appositives can be either essential (restrictive) or nonessential (nonrestrictive).
So what do you think The answer is?
If you look at what I just wrote you can also say that you know that C. ISN'T the answer as well because red doesn't have "-ing"
participle?
or apposotive?
Yes!! It's a Participle because participles play the role of adjectives!! Good Job Love!! ^^
can you help me answer a few more questions?
It wouldn't be an appositive because red isn't a noun or a pronoun (he she ect.)
Sure!
Which word is the superlative form? more hungrier cold worst
Superlative means (of an adjective or adverb) expressing the highest or a very high degree of a quality (e.g., bravest, most fiercely ). noun
So what do you think it is?
would it be "hungrier"?
Yes the answer would be Hungrier because by adding the "-er" you're saying that you are basically more hungry than everyone else. Great Job!
thank you! can you help me answer a couple more?
Sure! :3

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adjective in the sentence. Adjective clauses can also be called relative clauses. An adjective clause begins with a relative pronoun or a relative adverb. Often the relative pronoun or relative adverb will function as thesubject of the clause. A noun clause is a dependent clause that can be used in the same way as a noun or pronoun. It can be a subject, predicate nominative, direct object, appositive, indirect object, or object of the preposition. An adverb clause is a group of words that is used to change or qualify the meaning of an adjective, a verb, a clause, another adverb, or any other type of word or phrase with the exception of determiners and adjectives that directly modify nouns.
From reading this I doubt that it's an adjective clause so that leaves us with Noun and Adverb clause.
adverb?
Yes it would be an adverb Clause because it answers the question where.
