Going to out myself, by first off saying Thank you so much.
This is more helpful to me than you understand. I never knew a noun could be an idea. While I knew a name referred to a person, place, or thing. I never saw them as a noun, but more of a title. Which makes a lot more sense. You can go to a place, and it will have a name. You talk to a person and they will have a name. You can speak of an object, and it too will have a name. I know now that a carpenter and a hammer are a common noun, but Thor's hammer Mjolnir are both proper nouns. The in-depth explanation of why both can sometimes be capitalized like "shred that stack of Xeroes because we are about to be raided." makes a lot more sense to me now. I didn't even realize there was a count vs noncount. I have used the word dollar like your example. Even though I know when calling it money is singular. Sums of Money can be pluralized as moneys instead of "a money" This alone will save me countless hours of googling when I check " What is the plural of X". The in-depth explaining of less or fewer, and how it applies to both is something I have used interchangeably. That will hopefully end here.
I never even knew what an auxiliary verb was. Even though I have used them in almost everything I write. Same with transitive and intransitive verbs. That alone will help with my sentence fragmenting issues I have. I even have begun to grasp what a preposition is just by the examples. Adjectives I have used I used to describe nouns and phrases, but never knew the order of operations. You also opened my eyes to exactly how they describe a noun. Also how multiple can be used at once, and if you follow the order of operations it makes sense versus sounding like I threw a bunch of words together. I am very guilty of the "two large Canadian white birds" example. As for Adverbs, I had read that previous Adverb article, but a lot of it went over my head. I was using adverbs and adjectives interchangeably. Meaning I have used adverbs for nouns, and adjectives with verbs. "the Blue is awfully dark" smacked me like a rock to the face.
Thank you so much, ShelfLife.
Thank you so much, Catherine.
Now to re-read that categorizing your adverbs article again to see how much more I understand it!
So much to unpack, but this seems as good a place as any to leave a plug to Sofia's current favorite podcast explaining why English is so incredibly, exquisitely messed up
