This is the page you want to read when asking your partner the riddle. The following page is the answer. Each riddle is specifically geared toward the part of speech of the word. Remember that a NOUN is a person, place, thing or idea. A VERB is an action word. An ADJECTIVE is a word that describes a noun. So take these sentences for example: Johnny mourns for the loss of his father. In this sentence the word mourns is being used as a verb. Let's use the same word but now as a noun. Johnny is in mourning for the loss of his father. See the difference. These riddles will help you develop lateral thinking and pattern development skills.
