grind is not a noun but a vt and vi
I find a sentence below:
They feel that the time they spend on the daily grind is watsted.

"the daily grind" should be as a noun in this sentence, right?
But the word grind is not a noun, confused me.
Some one who can make me understood, better in Chinese.

Answer

While "grind" is usually a verb, people sometimes also use it as a slang term to mean repetitive work.  If I go to work each day doing the same thing, I could refer to that as my daily grind.

Answer

'daily grind' is a noun phrase. 'the' or 'a' grind is a noun that means something is a struggle or a lot of effort.
