| We call a noun a naming word and an adjective a describing word (in children language). Q: Do we call a verb a doing word or an acting word? Q: What do we call an adverb? Best regards! Dawood |

| I have certainly heard verbs described as 'doing words' in the UK. Although, such a decription can't cover all verbs. As to adverbs I don't believe I have heard anything similar being used to describe them. |

| No, I can't say I have. At junior school teachers referred to them as 'doing words'. |
