Changing word class

As we have seen before, a word always belongs to a certain Word Class. The biggest and most important ones being: nouns, verbs, adjectives & adverbs.

Many words, however, belong to more than one word class, depending on how they are used in a sentence.

For example, ‘book’ can be used as a noun or as a verb: ‘It’s an interesting book.’ (noun) ‘We ought to book a holiday soon.’ (verb)

And ‘fast’ can be used as an adjective or an adverb: ‘He loves fast cars.’ (adjective)

         ‘Don’t drive so fast!’ (adverb)

Changing Word Class

Many other words can be changed slightly to make them belong to a different word class. For example: the verb ‘organise’, can be changed into:

    - ‘organisation’ or ‘organiser’ (nouns),

    - ‘organised’ (adjective or verb),

    - ‘organisable’ (adjective),

    - ‘organisationally’ (adverb).
