N or V?

Ahh…Here comes the difficult part. If you are familiar with the ‘symbols’ above, then you have probably guessed that N=noun and V=verb.

For many of us, the N and V are confusing factors. It’s so darn confusing even in the spoken form; it’s caused quite a hassle among us. Take for example the word ‘process’.

1) Find which food you are allergic to by a process of elimination. (N)

2) We need to process these rolls of film immediately. (V)

You see? It is very confusing at times. It is considered even a hazard to brave the water in this area if you’re not alert enough. You might end up perspiring more than being inspiring. So, the next time you can’t decide whether it’s an N or V; check out the dictionary, ok?

P.S. ‘Cause if you want to drench in your own sweat, it’s ok but don’t drench others as well.

P.S.2 Dictionary is really our best friend.
