"Teach" is not a noun!

[El Salsero Gringo]

Hmmm, still sounds like a noun in disguise to me.

What's wrong with "Do you know how to teach that move?"

Of course it's a noun in disguise - it's a gerund.

[Cruella]

Teach is a verb. 'Mrs Brown decided to teach the class how to dance.' I guess I'm looking at this all to simplistically. (It's the only way i understand things).
I have a question for you boffins, 'wet' can it be a verb? As in 'The rain wet his clothes'

Yes, "teach" is verb. But "teaching" is a noun, as well as a participle. Just like cleaning ("have you done the cleaning") and dancing ("my dancing is crap tonight.")

I have a question for you boffins, 'wet' can it be a verb? As in 'The rain wet his clothes'

Yes, it can. To wet.

Don't you work in a school?

[Cruella]

Yes, it can. To wet.

Don't you work in a school?

Yes and we were teaching verbs to the 8 year olds. I said that wet could be a verb and the teacher wasn't convinced!

Yes it can, as in "But officer, it said wet paint.".

[Cruella]

Yes it can, as in "But officer, it said wet paint.".

In that context it's an adjective surely? (Unless there's a joke in there somewhere, that I'm not seeing!)

yes there is..

(and an old one at that !)

I think the rest of the joke involves a man out from the pub unable to find a public convenience so relieves himself against a freshly painted wall.

Can't wet be a Proper noun too? as in the band Wet Wet Wet?
