Another example of an English word that can be used as multiple parts of speech in a sentence is the word dream.

Probably the first use of this word that comes to mind is as a noun meaning “sonho.” Here is an example:

Sonhar

Joseph had a dream that his brothers would bow down to him.

One function of this word that is not as common is as an adjective describing something. Here is an example:

Being a doctor is his dream job.

This sentence would be translated as follows: “Ser médico é o emprego dos sonhos dele.”

Finally, as is the case with many nouns in the English language, the word “dream” can also be a verb meaning “sonhar.” Here is an example:

I have dreamed about this moment ever since I was little.

The following is probably one of the most famous examples of how this word is used:

(see 1:57)

Here, “dream” is used first as a verb and then as a noun.
