Take a look at the words and decide if they are nouns, verbs or adjectives.

Noun: a word that refers to a person, place, thing, event, substance or quality e.g.'nurse', 'cat', 'party', 'oil' and 'poverty'.

Verb: a word or phrase that describes an action, condition or experience e.g. 'run', 'look' and 'feel'.

Adjective: a word that describes a noun e.g. 'big', 'boring', 'pink', 'quick' and 'obvious'.

All correct, but isn't "dance" a noun and a verb at the same time?

why smiling is an adjictive?
isn't it suppose to be a noun , because of the suffix -ing
or could be a verb in case of particiable present tens ??

maybe it is begginers level, but I think, if there isn't given context it's difficult to recongnise difference in some words, because many same words are using as a noun and as a verb. for them eat, play... Confused
