    We’re working in JAG (Junior Analytical Grammar) and it’s asking the kids to write a sentence using dog as a noun and then again as an adjective.  Now it may be that I’ve had a 104 degree fever for a few days and am otherwise feeling like garbage, but I cannot figure out how to do this.  Or maybe I never knew.

    Please help this tired mama out.

    hm – the only thing I can think of is “Boy, am I dog tired”.

    Dog days of summer.  Dog run.  Dog house.  Dog licence.  You get the idea.

    I think in “dog tired” it would be an adverb since it describes an adjective.
