Is all right a nounverb or adjective?

"All right" can function as a few different parts of speech depending on how it's used:

* Adjective: This is the most common use. It means "satisfactory" or "acceptable."

* Example: "Is everything all right?"

* Adverb: It can also function as an adverb meaning "okay" or "yes."

* Example: "Are you coming to the party? All right, I'll see you there."

* Noun: While less common, "all right" can be a noun meaning "a state of being correct, proper, or satisfactory."

* Example: "We finally reached an all right."

It's important to look at the context to determine which part of speech "all right" is functioning as in a particular sentence.
