Question

Make two sentences by using the given word as a noun and as a verb: dream

Answer 1

Hint: A sentence is a meaningful collection of words. However, with the rules of grammar in mind, we can say that a sentence is a group of words that has a subject, a verb, and an object. In English, this is known as the SVO structure or the Subject-Verb-Object structure.

Complete answer:
In order to form a sentence with a noun and a verb, we first have to understand the definition of noun and verb.
Verb - In its most basic definition, a verb is a word used to indicate an action. Verbs can be expressed in different tenses, depending on when the action is being performed. For example She ironed her dress. Here the word ironed indicates an action hence it is a verb.
Noun - A word that is the name of something (such as a person, animal, place, thing, quality, idea, or action) and is typically used in a sentence as subject or object of a verb or as the object of a preposition. The simple definition is: a person, place or thing. Here are some examples:
person: man, woman, teacher
place: home, office, town, countryside, India
thing/animal: table, car, banana, money, music, love, dog, monkey

After understanding the meaning of both the terms we can proceed to form a sentence using the word “dream” as follows:
Dream as a noun: I had a dream about travelling in space.
Explanation: Here dream is used as a noun in the given sentence as it is used as an object of the verb “to travel”.
Dream as a verb: I dreamed about a trip to Space.
Explanation: Here dream is used as a verb in past tense which indicates an action of dreaming.

Note:
i) The subject or object of a sentence is not always a noun. It could be a pronoun or a phrase. In the sentence "My doctor works hard", the noun is "doctor" but the subject is "My doctor".
ii) If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular too.
Example: She writes every day.
If the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural.
Example: They write every day.
