what u think bout this ?
"We" is not an adjective, its a subject and all subject functionally is a noun.
its functional properties is noun being in a noun slot, and morphological property is a pronoun. I am not sure what the question is asking (since both noun and pronoun are present in the option). But, by any means the correct answer cannot be 4 - its not an adjective.
what is the source ??
2083
@dreamz007
obviously "we" is subject here and should be noun or pronoun..here it is pronoun
