Clear and informative back matter includes textbook-style definitions and usage examples of common and proper nouns, concrete and abstract nouns, collective nouns, and compound nouns. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In Grammaropolis, adverbs don't just modify verbs; adverbs are \u003ci\u003ebossy\u003c\/i\u003e. They tell the verbs \u003cb\u003ewhere\u003c\/b\u003e to go, \u003cb\u003ewhen\u003c\/b\u003e to leave, and \u003cb\u003ehow\u003c\/b\u003e to get there. A pronoun doesn't just replace a noun; Roger the pronoun is a shady character who's always trying to trick Nelson the noun into giving up his spot.
