A$.$ Word classes: This exercise is intended to get you to think carefully about English word classes. In

each of the following examples, decide on the word class of the items in bold. Some of the words in

question may belong to more than one class. Figure out which class they belong to when used in each

example in the problem set. Give as much evidence as possible for your answers, looking at the

distribution, morphology $($inflections$)$ and functions of the words. It will probably help to compile your

own list of the relevant properties for nouns, verbs, prepositions and adjectives. $[$Exercise $2,$ Chapter $2$ of
