Nouns and Verbs

A noun is a word that represents a person, place, thing, or idea.

A verb is a word that describes an action, occurrence, or state of being.

Examples include 'dog', 'city', and 'book'.

Examples include 'Sarah', 'Paris', and 'Monday'.

A singular noun refers to one item (e.g., 'cat'), while a plural noun refers to more than one item (e.g., 'cats').

An action verb expresses physical or mental action (e.g., 'run', 'think').

A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a subject complement (e.g., 'is', 'are', 'was').

The subject is the part of the sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.

The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells what the subject does or is.

A compound noun is made up of two or more words that function as a single noun (e.g., 'toothbrush', 'mother-in-law').
