Same words used as a verb and noun...

[Luezette]

There are some words that can be used both as a noun (person, place or thing) and as a verb (action). What are they? (must give a sentence as an example). I'll start.

1. Tom read (verb) a book, so that shows he can read (noun).

[Victoria]

Sorry, I don't see a noun in this sentence except a book. Maybe I don't understand smth?

I like: Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

[Joey]

I'm going to shampoo my hair with shampoo.

[campanula]

Usually I mop brothers (any other noun) with a mop. 

[well]

I drink drink...

[Qapla]

I shot a shot with buck shot.

[april]

I can open the can.

[Witness1970]

You lead the way.

Lead is a metal.

[Qapla]

To find more of these words ... let me Google Google

[Luezette]

How about this:

He likes to address the crowd from his address.

[Luezette]

You're right John, about Google. I hadn't thought of that. But the challenge is to put the words in a sentence.

[Luezette]

I need a bait to go fishing so I can bait the hook.

(ok I'll be good and let y'all have some fun, lol. I just love words).

One more time (oh man, I can't resist):

Susie bought a new dress for her baby so she can dress her.

Harry bought a stop watch so he'll know when to stop running. (Oopps! the first "stop" was an adjective. So sorry). So now I must continue. So let's see...ummm

So Harry did stop running because his watch told him to stop running. (hmmm, that "stop" sounded more like two verbs to me so now I must continue again).

GOT IT!

The cops told the couple they can't drive anymore because it was obvious they don't know how to drive.

THERE! LOL. :)

[Witness1970]

The couple were dining out.

It took an hour to couple the train cars together.

[jpcook]

As a Witness, we should witness!

[Luezette]

umm, Randall, your examples are really very good, but is it possible to put the noun and verb in one sentence? I mean it's really no big deal actually, just asking. Thanks.

[Victoria]

The love(noun) is in this respect, not that we have loved(verb) God, but that he loved(verb) us.

1 John 4:10

[Witness1970]

You lead the way.Lead is a metal.

It took a couple of hours to couple a couple of train cars together.

You can lead the way wearing a lead suit.

A large can can hold all that stuff.

[well]

Can you can a can? Inspired by Randall...

[april]

Wouldn't it be neat to record a record?

I the southern USA we always said, "We eat what we can and what we can't eat, we can."

If it takes a couple of hours to couple a couple of train cars togather there must be something wrong with the coupling. It should take just a couple of minutes.

That lead suit sounds like it would be heavy.

I am a cook that can really cook, maybe I will cook you a  gumbo.

[Qapla]

I am going to spatchcock this fowl so we can have spatchcock yard-bird cooked on the grill.

[Sallyforth]

I couldn't bear to see the bare bear.
