Words On The Board

So there I was, sitting in class at WWRC and this teacher asks me to put a list of words on the board. Every single thing that popped into my head was wildly inappropriate. I mean, the first three verbs I thought of were:  VERB,  VERB, and  VERB. Can you believe that?! And then I thought of  VERB but obviously I don't know how to spell that! Who does?! And the nouns I thought of were even worse! Things like  NOUN,  NOUN,  NOUN, and  NOUN. I did think of some good adjectives though. I wrote  ADJECTIVE and  ADJECTIVE. To be honest, I had forgotten that adverbs existed until I sat back down. What even is an adverb? Is  ADVERB an adverb? Or is  ADVERB?
