A) I dance.
B) I am dancing.
C) I love dance.
D) I dance well

Answer 1

Hint: The verb given must be converted into an object in order for it to be a noun.

Complete answer:

 In the given question we have been given the verb, ‘dance’ and we have to find the sentence form the given options that use this word as a noun.
Let us look at each of the given options and find the most suitable answer.
Option ‘A’, ‘I dance’, is incorrect as in this the action is the dance, making it the verb.
Option ‘B’, ‘I am dancing’ is incorrect as in this one too the action that the person is doing is dancing, making it the verb.
Option ‘D’, ‘I dance well’ is incorrect as in this the answer for what the person does well is the action, dancing, making it the verb.
Therefore, from the above options, we can see that the correct answer is option ‘C’, ‘I love dance’. The verb here is ‘love’, making the word ‘dance’ the noun. This is because, love is the action here and the person is talking about ‘dance’ as a topic, making it a noun.

Note: The easiest way to identify whether a given word is the noun or a verb, is to look for the action. In all other options, except option ‘C’, the word ‘dance’ indicates an action.
