Is everything a verb or noun?

No, not everything is a verb or a noun.

While verbs and nouns are the two most common word types, there are many others, including:

* Adjectives: Describe nouns (e.g., "big," "red," "happy").

* Adverbs: Modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs (e.g., "quickly," "very," "extremely").

* Prepositions: Show relationships between words (e.g., "on," "in," "under").

* Conjunctions: Connect words, phrases, or clauses (e.g., "and," "but," "or").

* Interjections: Express strong emotions (e.g., "Wow!" "Ouch!").

* Determiners: Specify nouns (e.g., "the," "a," "some").

* Pronouns: Replace nouns (e.g., "he," "she," "it").

These additional word types contribute significantly to the complexity and richness of language.
