Think about the word bark.

  • Is this a noun (a person, place, or thing), or is it a verb (an action word)? Both?

In this second of a series of five Related Lessons, found in the right-hand sidebar, you will learn that many words have more than one meaning.

The words you will learn about today can be used as a noun or a verb, depending on the sentence in which the word is placed.
