How do you use pepper as noun and verb in a sentence?

Here are a few examples of how to use "pepper" as both a noun and a verb in a sentence:

Noun:

* "The chef added a generous sprinkle of pepper to the pasta sauce." (Here, "pepper" is the spice itself.)

* "I bought a whole bag of black pepper at the grocery store." (Again, "pepper" refers to the spice.)

Verb:

* "She peppered her speech with humorous anecdotes." (Here, "peppered" means to sprinkle or add something frequently.)

* "The protesters peppered the police with questions." (This means they bombarded them with a lot of questions, not necessarily literally throwing pepper.)

Both:

* "He peppered the salad with freshly ground pepper." (Here, "pepper" is used as both a noun and a verb in the same sentence.)
