1 Depression 2 Noun Doctors who treat patients with

depression or a history of suicide
attempts should consider sleep
problems a further warning sign,
experts say.
“Depression” is an abstract noun.
2 Doctor 4 Noun The majority of individuals who die by
suicide visit their doctor in the months
preceding, and these are missed
opportunities to enhance detection and
intervene.
“Doctor” is a common noun because it
is people.
3 World Health 21 Noun Globally, suicide accounts for more than
Organization half of violent deaths, according to the
World Health Organization.
“World Health Organization” is a proper
noun because it is a name of an
organization.
4 Risk 35 Noun Having both poor sleep and depression
conferred the biggest risk, noted
Pigeon, who was not involved in the
new study.
“Risk” is a common noun
5 Which 28 Pronoun Some experts believe that sleep
problems are due to underlying
depression, which then increases
suicide risk…
“Which” is a relative pronoun and is
referring to the noun “depression”.
6 He 34 Pronoun “What is even more interesting is that
the risk imparted by poor sleep is even
 stronger than that imparted by
depression,” he says.
“He” is a personal pronoun and is
referring to Wilfred R Pigeon, who
directs the VA Centre of Excellence for
Suicide Prevention Research and the
University of Rochester Sleep Research
Lab.
7 Both 39 Pronoun “Poor sleep is associated with
difficulties regulating emotion as well as
cognitive deficits, both of which
increase the risk of suicidal behaviours,”
says Amy Fiske…
“Both” is a plural indefinite pronoun and
is referring to difficulties of regulating
emotion and cognitive deficits that are
associated with poor sleep.
8 We 44 Pronoun We cannot say that poor sleep causes
suicide based on this study, since there
could have been factors other than
depression that could have caused both
disturbed sleep and death by suicide,
Fiske adds.

“We” is a personal pronoun and is

referring to everyone in general.

9 A 2 Determiner Doctors who treat patients with

depression or a history of suicide
attempts should consider sleep
problems a further warning sign,
experts say.
“A” is one of the articles.
10 The 11 Determiner The study team compared the answers
 those 20 people gave in a series of
interviews to questions about symptoms
of depression, and mental and physical
functioning to the answers of 400 others
similar in age, sex and location.
“The” is a determiner because it is one
of the articles.
11 Their 15 Determiner Those who went on to commit suicide
tended to rate their sleep poorer at the
start of the study than the comparison
group, which was true even when
researchers took symptoms of clinical
depression into account.
“Their” is a determiner because it is one
of the possessive determiners.
12 This 19 Determiner Since only 20 out of nearly 15,000
people in this study died by suicide,
even with a 20 percent increase in risk
the absolute chance of dying by suicide
would still be less than two tenths of
one percent.
“This” is a determiner because it is one
of the demonstrative determiners.
13 Poor 18 Adjective With depression accounted for, poor
sleep quality was associated with a
20% higher risk of death by suicide,
Bernert explained.
“Poor” is an adjective because it
describes the noun “sleep quality”.
14 Increased 26 Adjective Of all the sleep problems described,
difficulty falling asleep and not feeling
like sleep was restorative, were both
particularly linked to increased risk of
 suicide, according to the results in the
journal JAMA Psychiatry.
“Increased” is an adjective because it
describes the noun “risk”.

15 Some 28 Adjective Some experts believe that sleep

problems are due to underlying
depression, which then increases
suicide risk, so the fact that sleep
problems were linked in this study to
suicide even without symptoms of
depression is important, said Wilfred R
Pigeon…
“Some” is an indefinite adjective
because it describes the noun “experts”.
16 Vast 59 Adjective Experts agree that the vast majority of
older people who suffer from sleep
problems are not suicidal.
“Vast” is an adjectives because it

suicide visit their doctor in the months
preceding, and these are missed

19 Accounted 8 Verb Sleep can stand alone as a risk factor
for death by suicide, even when
depression is accounted for, Bernert
says, though sleep problems are
common for many people who should
not be alarmed by this news.
“Accounted” is a verb as it is in past
perfect form.
20 Having 34 Verb Having both poor sleep and depression
conferred the biggest risk, noted
Pigeon, who was not involved in the
new study.
“Having” is a verb as it is in continuous

21 Well 36 Adverb In general, not sleeping well causes
