Options:
- Noun

Right Answer: Adjective
In the sentence 'The milk has turned sour', the underlined word 'sour' is an adjective. The verb 'turn' is here used as a linking or copular verb, meaning 'to become', and a linking verb is always followed by a subject complement. When that complement describes the quality or state of the subject, it must be an adjective and not an adverb. So 'sour' describes the milk, telling us what the milk has become. Other common linking verbs are be, seem, appear, look, feel, grow and become.
