Substantive

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

In grammar, a substantive is either:

• a noun substantive, now also called simply noun; or
• a verb substantive, which is a verb like English "be" when expressing existence (in contrast to use as a copula).

Substantive also refers to the ability of chemicals to be retained by skin or hair.
