Which do you think are verbs or nouns?
 
Thank you for your answer. I edit the post to demonstrate which are nouns or verbs.
 
I am trying to improve my writing skills [STRIKE]. So,[/STRIKE] and I need your help to correct my mistakes.

Here are my sentences:

Target Word: Doom (n)(v)

1. We are heading straight [STRIKE]for[/STRIKE] to our doom; [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] death eventually will come. (noun)
2. When you feel full of doom, try to perceive [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] events in a more optimistic manner. (noun)
3. Their heavily-armored infantries doomed the enemies to their end. (verb) (You might mean "heavily-armed".)

Thanks for your help!

See above. You chose correctly between a noun and a verb each time but there were other errors in sentences 1 and 3. In #3, were the infantries wearing a lot of armour (armor) or carrying a lot of weapons?
 
I would use infantry uncountably.
 
Thank you for your answers. I am grateful for your help.

If I mean the infantry that carries a lot of weapons, can ''heavy armored'' be used?

I mean the infantry that wears a lot of armour.

I mean the infantry that wears a lot of armour.

If would say that if they are carrying a lot of weapons, they are a "heavily-armed infantry". If they're wearing a lot of very protective armour, they're a "heavily-armoured infantry".
