We painted the wall green.
The word 'green' in the above sentence is an adjective or a noun?

4"We washed the wall clean." Is "clean" a noun or an adjective? Similarly, why is this sentence wrong? "*We painted the wall latex."– gotube ♦Commented Dec 21, 2022 at 16:29

@gotube We painted the wall 'in' green. Does this one sound okay? I think it's okay and in this case of 'in' green is a 'noun'.– gomadengCommented Dec 21, 2022 at 16:35

No, "we painted the wall in green" doesn't sound okay. And "in green" isn't a noun.– DiviznaCommented Dec 21, 2022 at 18:14

@Divizna In 'in green', 'green' is a noun and 'in' is a prepostion.– gomadengCommented Dec 21, 2022 at 18:14

2This could be a great question but it sorely lacks detail and research. I mean, you need to share the work you put into the question, don't leave it in your head. You should post the dictionary definition that says green is a noun and ask whether we agree or not and why.– Mari-Lou ACommented Dec 21, 2022 at 21:56
