Joelline Senior Member USA (W. Pennsylvania) American English Oct 10, 2006 #7 Mimi, The WordReference dictionary is an excellent resource for these types of questions. The entry there on "welcome" shows it as noun, verb, adjective and gives examples for each of these usages. I hope this helps, Joelline
