Pointing out the different word classes.
I have taken a sentence out of my handbook and tried to distinguish the different word classes. I've highlighted some words to point out the different classes, and I'd appreciate if you could tell me which words that are correct and which ones that are incorrect.
Verb
Here's the scene: my mate Trevor is standing in Wax Lyrical with his girlfriend when he gets the Look.
Noun
Here's the scene: my mate Trevor is standing in Wax Lyrical with his girlfriend when he gets the Look.
Pronoun

Adverb

Note that Look is highlighted both as a verb and noun, this is because I couldn't tell which one to choose. And thanks for helping me!!
