Final answer:

Parts of speech like nouns, verbs, and adverbs, each play a specific role in a sentence. Nouns name a person, place, or thing. Verbs identify an action or a state of being. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs to express manner, place or frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word in italics isn't specific in your question. However, I understand you are asking to determine the part of speech (perhaps a

noun

,

verb

, or

adverb

) of a given word. This is a fundamental concept in English. In English grammar, the noun is the name of a person, place, or thing. A verb signifies an action or a state of being, and an adverb modifies a verb (action word), an adjective, or another adverb expressing manner, place, frequency, etc. To identify these, look at the usage of the word in the sentence. If it's a thing, it's a noun. If it shows action or a state of being, it's a verb. If it modifies an action or describes how something was done, it's an adverb.
