Impulse

[hoangkha]

This is a sentence in an exercise.
The ............ to go to work to help Mum with some money impulse me to apply for that job.
a. tiredness
b. happiness
c. keenness
d. sadness
According to OALD&Macmillan, IMPULSE is a noun but used as a verb in this sentence.
I am wondering if it is a verb.
Explain it to me please.

hoanka, I'll answer this, but in future please start a new thread for a new question.

'Impulse' is a noun. If it were a verb, it would need a final -s or -d in that sentence.

For the second time, I have moved a post that was unrelated to the original question to be its own thread.

PLEASE follow 5jj's advice and start a new thread for a new question. Thank you.

(And I agree that this is a complete misuse of the word "impulse.")

[hoangkha]

Thank teacher!
Certainly.
Thus, that sentence is incorrect, isn't it?

[5jj]

Yes, it is.

Sorry, sir.
I am a new member. I need instructions from you all.

Sorry, sir..

pssst! Barbs a 'ma'am', not a 'sir'.

Seriously, This is a fairly informal forum. There's no need for 'sirs' and 'ma'ams'. Just 'Sorry' or 'Sorry, Barb' is fine. And don't worry - most people do something in the early days that moves one of us oldies to write 'Please don't do that'.
