#Same Word – #Several Parts of #Speech
In the English language many words are used in more than one way.This means that a word can function as several different parts of speech.
For example: In the sentence " I would like a drink "The word " drink " is a noun.However: In the sentence " They drink too much "The word " drink " is a verb.So it all depends on the word's role in the sentence.
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
1- A noun is a word that names a person, a place or a thing.

The word "noun" comes from the Latin word "nomen", which means "name," and nouns are indeed how we name people, places and things.

2- A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun.For example: you could say, " Lisa is a nice girl. " Then you could replace the noun "Lisa" with the word "She" and get the following sentence: " She is a nice girl. " " She " is a pronoun.
Examples:
I, he, it, we, them, us, mine, itself.
Example sentences:
He doesn't want go with them.
