* Noun: This is the most common usage, referring to the white, ice crystals that form on surfaces when temperatures drop below freezing.
* Example: "The frost covered the field in a sparkling white blanket."
* Verb: This is less common but can be used to mean "to cover with frost".
* Example: "The windows frosted over during the night."
* Adjective: While less common, it can be used to describe something as having a frosty appearance or quality.
* Example: "The frosty air bit at our cheeks."
So, without context, it's difficult to definitively say what part of speech "frost" is.
