Question

Identify the sentence which uses the verb 'laugh' as a noun.

• A. He has a funny laugh.
• B. I laughed so much at that joke.
• C. I'm still laughing.
• D. Laugh as much as you can, because it is good for health.

Answer 1

The correct option is A He has a funny laugh.

Few words can be used as both nouns and verbs. When a word is used as an action word, it is called a verb. When a word is used as the main subject of the sentence, it becomes a noun.

Here, we have to find out a sentence, where 'laugh' is used as a noun. Hence, 'laugh' should be the subject/object of the sentence and not an action.

Option B - 'I laughed so much at that joke' is a wrong choice. Here, the subject 'laughed', which is an action word. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'I'm still laughing' is a wrong choice. 'Still' explains that a person is doing something for a long time. As 'laughing' is an action word, it is not a noun. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Laugh as much as you can because it is good for health' is a wrong choice, as the subject (not given/silent) asks us to 'laugh' do something (action). Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'He has a funny laugh' is the right choice, as the adjective 'funny' describes how the 'laughter' is. Here, 'laugh' is the object (noun). Hence, option A is the correct answer.
