Adjective - Afraid
Noun - Fear
Verb - To fear
Verb (alternate) - To be afraid (of something) - 'Afraid' is still an adjective here, but "to be" is a verb.

"Afraid" doesn't really have a noun and verb form. You can use the word "fear":I fear snakes.
As a noun: I have a fear of snakes.
Other possible verbs are "scare" and "frighten".
Examples: I'm frightened of snakes/ Snakes frighten me. My son is scared of dogs. Dogs scare my son.
