I don't know what it means.
It confusing me like it says noun is used before an adjective.
It's so confusing and troublesome.
Take a look:
-
Noun: a word that refers to a person, place, thing, event, substance or quality e.g.'nurse', 'cat', 'party', 'oil' and 'poverty'.
-
Verb: a word or phrase that describes an action, condition or experience e.g. 'run', 'look' and 'feel'.
-
Adjective: a word that describes a noun e.g. 'big', 'boring', 'pink', 'quick' and 'obvious'.

Shamboo, I think I can give you a simple approach to help you get some intuitive understanding of these. I have been helping my son learn these recently.
I'm not sure where you saw that, but you are right to feel confused about it! It is incorrect.
For now, just think of a noun as a person, place or thing. For example: mother, house, dog. You can say my mother, my forest, my dog. So, those are nouns.
Now let's do adjectives. The adjective tells us, in a small number of words, what kind of noun the noun is. Examples: a strict mother, a big forest, a friendly dog.
When you are looking at a sentence and you want to find the nouns, and the adjectives, please try to find words that seem similar to my examples.
Verbs can be a little harder to learn. There are two kinds. The first kind is a very small group of words. The most common one is "to be (am, are, is, etc.)." for example, She is hungry. This type of verb is similar to an equals sign: She = hungry.
The second kind of verb is an action word. You have to use energy to do an action! For example, She runs. She thinks. She cooks.
Verbs might look more complicated than that, for example She ran. She will think. She was cooking. But it's still the same idea.
I hope this helps.
