Is the word endure an adjective?

No, "endure" is a verb.

Here's why:

* Verbs describe actions or states of being. "Endure" means to "to bear patiently; to suffer without giving way."

* Adjectives describe nouns. They tell us more about the person, place, or thing.

Example:

* Verb: They endured the long, boring lecture.

* Adjective: The lecture was endurable (meaning it could be tolerated).
