parts of speech notes towards a nuclear grammar

war is a noun and so is peace. uranium is a noun like armchair. plutonium and
perspiration are both nouns and each has four syllables. bliss and terror are also
nouns.

develop is a verb and so is hurry, and race, which is also a noun, like arms.
another verb is explode.

beautiful and ingenious are both adjectives. they add information to nouns,
e.g. beautiful perspiration, ingenious uranium.

slowly, quickly, immediately, courageously are adverbs and make
verbs more interesting, e.g. they exploded courageously

they is a pronoun and takes the place of a noun. like you, we, he,
she, us, them. anyone you know could be a pronoun.

and is a conjunction and as such joins everything together in one big long chain of
a sentence. but in some situations it is advisable to replace the ands with a series
of full stops
