Game of Grammar

English language has a specific feature. It has parts of speech numbered eight. We have been chanting them since the day we joined our school education. They are noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction and interjection.

All the names of persons, places, animals and things are placed under the heading of NOUN.
Agreed and understood.
But English is such a naughty language, that it turns the nouns into verbs. We use them frequently without much observation. This time notice the words that are spoken from our mouth. Give a thought for their structure when they are uttered. The game of grammar reveals itself and our score improves automatically.

Game of Grammar

Let's take nouns. And check their verb forms as well.
 Water:
Water - its a noun, and we drink water whenever we feel thirsty.
Waters - is not a plural form but describes the water content of the rivers or oceans
Water as a verb is used in sentences such as
'Plants are watered well' or
'The boys is watering the plants' or
'I water the plants everyday'

Pen
Now take the noun pen
I bought a costly pen. (its a general usage as a noun}
He penned a nice poem in the memory of his uncle.
Penned - not much in general usage., mostly literary one. It's useage shows the language fluency of the person.
One can say 'he penned it well.'

Paper
This noun is an interesting one.
Paper is considered to be a material used for writing. We have colors added to it - white paper, red paper, blue paper etc
We read newspaper - Sheets of paper containing printed information and folded in bundles
Westerners live in wood houses where they cannot go for whitewash. They have their ways of decorating the interiors of their houses. That is through wall papers.
They 'paper' the walls with beautiful patterns. (verb)
Their walls are papered well.

Some verbs belong to the native speakers as we do not practise them here.
Wait for some more games in the coming days :)
