-Part of speech-
What part of speech is the word 'scourge' used in sentence below:

Oedipus encounters the scourge of the people of Thebes.

Answer choices:
verb
noun
adjective
adverb
preposition


Sagot :

I’m pretty sure it’s an adjective-

scourge isn’t an action so not a verb, not an object so not a noun, not describing a verb so not an adverb, and preposition is “where can a mouse go?” Aka above, in, on, etc. so it’s not that either.
