Ok so today in english class my teacher was teaching us grammar and gay stuff so she gave us this dumb 'prequiz' thing about grammar and spelling and junk. So I go through it and there's some sentence like "She has such an amazing gift!" or something along those lines. The question is to tell what part of speech the underlined word is. The choices are Conjunction, Preposition, Adverb, Interjection, and Verb. I was really confused, so I asked her if there was something wrong with the question. She smiled and was like "Nope, everything's correct." So I just wrote in noun beside the thing because I had no clue what it was. Then when we went over the quiz, she got to that question and said the answer was verb. Verb. She argued that it was a verb when used in that context because it didn't mean present or anything, but it was used like 'talent.' Please FFR, tell me.
Is the word gift in the sentence "She has such an amazing gift!" a verb?
EDIT:
So we had the final, this was on it
"The sentence was "That must be an extremely valuable gift!"
The choices were verb, adverb, conjunction, interjection, and pronoun.
The underlined word was gift"
I emailed her that.
Her response:
"That's because it was a VERB. The sentence went with the one before it, which was referring to Danielle's ability to recollect information from memory. It's something she does, which means it is not a noun but in fact a verb.
Thanks,
