Tips & Tricks
Noun and verb should be the last resort definition type used.
Ask the following questions:
Can I....
- examine this?
- interview this?
- observe this?
- test this?
If you answered yes to any of these questions the term is a UCF element.
If you answered no to all of these questions the term is either a noun or a verb.
