To form the adjective, add "y" as in "salty dog." Certain nouns can be used as verbs by the adding "ing".."salting the bird's tail." Suck is a Verb. To form the adverbial adjective, add "ing" .."egg sucking dog" is correct in both form and meaning. The word "sucky" as in "sucky Oklahoma" is incorrect in both form and meaning Except as: "I am from Sucky OK zip code, and you are an egg sucking dog" because the addition of "y" indicates the root word is a noun; person, place or thing. By this rule, a person knows that a word such as "rivet" is a verb even though, in its unaltered form, "rivet" is used as a proper noun. A person could be a "suck" as in "suck up" but never "sucky" as rivet can be a rivet but never rivety. There can be another "take" on this, but never takey two. Unless you are two years old, do not add "y" to verbs.[/quote] Well, that's a fun way of learning English... ;) :) [img]http://ozphactor.home.comcast.net/asylum/sig001.gif[/img] [This message has been edited by ozphactor (edited 07-21-2003).] Loading...
