A quick grammar lesson:

In grammar, a noun is a word that tells you the person (dad/grandma), place (South Dakota/bedroom) or thing (tennis ball/glue) of the sentence.

In grammar, an adjective is a word whose main role is to enhance a noun or pronoun by explaining more about the noun or pronoun.  Adjectives usually answer questions having to do with your senses: how many (eyes), what color (eyes), what size (eyes), what shape (eyes), what taste (mouth), what smell (nose), what feelings (hands), what noise (ears).
* Sometimes, but not always, an adjective ends in able, ly, or ing to name a few.

bullet

In grammar, a verb is a word whose main role is to enhance an action (read/write), occurrence (glitter/shine) or state of being (exist/stand).  If you can take the word and actually "do" something with it, it is most likely the verb in the sentence.
* Sometimes, but not always, a verb ends in ing  or ed to name a few.
