How a word is used in a sentence determines its part of speech. It's an idea, and it's the subject of the sentence. A dictionary can show a word's part of speech, but it does not determine it.
Like as an Adverb Informally, like can serve as an adverb ( the tree is more like 100 than 50 feet ). Love for peanut butter brought me to the store today. The word spans almost all parts of speech and can serve as an adjective ( she mastered lacrosse, field hockey, and like sports ). You wouldn't be wrong, but then you might think of this sentence:
what part of speech is the word love anyway?Īt that point, you would probably think of some example sentences to figure it out.įrom this sentence, you might conclude that love is a verb since you know that verbs express action, and love is showing an action in this sentence. But then, your mind might linger on that question, and you might start to wonder Hmm. Obviously, the first thing to do is run away from this person. Pop quiz, hot shot! Let's say you're at the grocery store deciding between chunky and creamy peanut butter (tough choice) when someone walks up to you and asks, "What part of speech is the word love?"
