This isn't that hard(ok maybe it is) but I just want you to check. We had to say whether of not the underlined word was a adjective of noun. The ones I had trouble with were:

She certainly had a -spring- in her step that day!
-Spring- is a noun
Only the -steel- rim was left. -Steel- was an adjective.

Both are correct.

Thanks! I am home alone and I don't like english..

You're doing well and seem to be getting the hang of parts of speech.

Also -- remember -- English is probably the only language you speak (at least fluently).

Great job! You correctly identified the parts of speech for both examples.

To determine whether the underlined word is an adjective or a noun, you can use the following approach:

1. Understand the context: Read the sentence and try to understand the meaning and purpose of the underlined word.

2. Determine if it modifies a noun: Adjectives typically modify or describe nouns. If the underlined word is providing additional information about a noun, it is likely an adjective.

3. Check for articles or determiners: Adjectives often appear before a noun with articles (e.g., "a," "an," "the") or other determiners (e.g., "this," "that," "her"). If the underlined word is preceded by an article or determiner, it is likely an adjective.

Let's apply this method to each of your examples:

1. "She certainly had a -spring- in her step that day!"

- In this sentence, "spring" is modifying the noun "step." It is describing the quality or state of her step, indicating that she had a certain liveliness or buoyancy in her step on that day. Therefore, you correctly identified "spring" as a noun.

2. "Only the -steel- rim was left."

- In this sentence, "steel" is describing the type or material of the "rim." Since it is modifying the noun "rim," indicating what kind of rim it is, it functions as an adjective. Hence, you correctly identified "steel" as an adjective.

Well done on identifying the correct parts of speech for those examples! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
