One confusing but useful aspect of English grammar is its flexibility. A noun can sometimes be a verb, and a verb can easily change into an adjective and adverb. Take the word "interest", for example.
It can be a noun: "I have no interest in your ideas."
It can be a verb: "Your plans don't interest me."
Adding -ing can make it an adjective: "His movies are very interesting."
And adding -ly to the adjective makes an adverb: "Interestingly, he's a great director
although his acting is just mediocre."
You already know the words "hand", "stomach", "eye", and "skin" - but do you know what they mean as verbs? Try looking them up!
