What are Verbs and Nouns ?
Q3: What are Verbs and Nouns ?
Words are words, especially if they are spelt the same....aren't they ?
The farmer went to produce some produce.
Are these words different in meaning ? Hence multiple meanings ?
The words are the same words , and the meanings are the same as well.
The noun form simply tells you the "produce" (something a famer makes)
has already happen in the past or future. The verb form simply tells you the
"produce" (something the farmer is making) is currently happening in the
present tense. Does this make child-like sense ? A verb tells you ACTION
is current. A noun tells you an ACTION is past or future. Both verbs and
nouns refer to actions current or actions in the past. Humans do not see
language like this any more. We tend to see nouns as static pictures of things.
Let's change our modern thinking back to ancient Hebrew thinking. Shalom.
