rusty pins Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Somthing to ponder. Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 poop can be a noun ("look at that poop"), or a verb ("I need to poop"), or a subject "poop is stinky," or an adjective ("Phew, I'm pooped"). Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Sorry, I kinda took it too far! I'm not really fluent in grammar, but I think at the end of the day your confusion might have come from not knowing that one word can be several different parts of speech! Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I second this. It's somewhat of a versatile word. You could quite literally say "I was pooped so I pooped by poopy diapers with more poop" Each version or that poo has a different place and a different meaning. Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 yeah there's a lot of poo in this topic =/ Link to comment
rusty pins Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 And the thesaurus forms of the word poop. Link to comment
willnotwill Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Pooped in "I am pooped" is a passive voice past participle, essentially a verb form used as an adjective. Also not mentioned is the gerund form, pooping. Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 ^ are you positive about that being passive voice? I would give "pooped" in that sentence the label of adjective (though, yes, the spelling of a past tense verb being forced into the adjective position). Passive voice makes the subject and object switch places in a sentence, so no passive voice sentence would start with "I" (or - whatever person/thing is doing the acting). Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Well poopity poop poop, and a poop for your poop. Link to comment
