  1. A Noun (nome) is a person, place, or thing. A verb(verbi) is a part of speech that usually denotes action and an Adjective(aggettiv) is a word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it.

    I found my information at www.italianlanguageguide.com. I also found it to be the most effective web site because it gave a broad explanation and great examples.

  2. Nouns are words that describe a person, place or thing. They can be masculine or feminine, and single or plural. Verbs are words that refer to an action. In italian there are three classes of verbs (are,ere,ire), five moods and 21 tenses
    Adjectives are words that describe a person or thing. They can also be feminine or masculine.

  3. A noun is a word that describes a person, place, or thing. While nouns are typically gender neutral in the English language, they can be masculine or feminine in Italian.
    A verb is an action performed by a noun.
    Adjectives are words that describe a noun, and can also be masculine or feminine, of course, based on the noun.

    Noun-nome
    Verb-verbi
    Adjective-Aggettiv

    I had an understanding of what a noun, adjective, and verb are prior to the course, and my understanding that there are both masculine and feminine words came from learning Spanish in high school and speaking Russian as a second language because the languages too, like most European languages share this distinction of nouns and adjectives.

  4. Noun / Nome - Word that describe person, place or thing.
    Verb/ Verbi - Word that expresses action.
    Adjective / Aggettiv - Word that describes a noun or pronoun


    As Portuguese and Italian nouns can be used for both masculine and feminine different by English are gender neutral. So my advice to learn the language is memorizing the rules of grammar.
