- In this context, "take-off" refers to the act or process of a plane departing from the ground.
- Nouns are words that name a person, place, thing, or idea. "Take-off" functions as a thing in this sentence.
- Noun – In this sentence, "take-off" functions as a noun referring to the event of the plane's departure.
- Conjunction – A conjunction connects words, phrases, or clauses. "Take-off" is not serving this function in this context.
