What part of speech is a shed?

"Shed" can be a few different parts of speech, depending on its use in a sentence:

* Noun: This is the most common usage, referring to a small, simple building used for storage.

* Example: "The tools are in the shed."

* Verb: This is less common but possible, meaning to cast off or get rid of something.

* Example: "The snake shed its skin."

* Adjective: This is even less common, but possible, meaning separated or detached.

* Example: "He lives in a shed apartment." (This is somewhat archaic and uncommon usage.)

So, without more context, it's impossible to determine the exact part of speech.
