NOUNS

There can be multiple definitions of nouns, we have used the most simple
way to define a noun.
“A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, state, or quality. It can
be singular or plural. Nouns are a part of speech“
Nouns are included in almost every English sentence, and they can be used
for a variety of reasons: nouns as subjects, nouns as direct objects, nouns
as indirect objects, or nouns as modifiers.

Here are some examples of nouns:-

 Place– Goa, Taj Mahal, Sea, River, Planet, Farmhouse, Tourist
place, etc.
 Person– John, Biographer, Cardiologist, Cameramen, Actress,
Politicians, etc.
 Things– Grains, Rocks, Trees, Forest, Paper, Glass, Metals, Plastic,
etc.
 Ideas– Revolution, Resolution, Invention, Conclusion, Argument,
etc.
Nouns can be used as a subject and a verb. The subject in a sentence refers
to the person, place, or thing, while the verb describes an action that is
being performed by the subject.
Nouns can be used in different components of sentences. We have
discussed some uses of nouns as subject, object, and Subject and Object
Complements.

5. Nouns as Subjects
The subject of a sentence is the noun or pronoun that acts as an action of
the verb.
For Example, in this sentence “The lion chased the goat,”
“lion” is the subject of the verb “chased.”
2. Nouns as Objects
Nouns and pronouns act as a role of objects in a sentence, and both can
also be direct and indirect objects in a sentence.
For Example, in this sentence “Raghav is a brilliant student”
Raghav is a Subjective Noun and Student is an objective Noun.
3. Nouns as a Direct Object
Noun or Pronoun as a direct object receives the action of the verb.
For Example, in this sentence
“He gave the keys to her mother,” “keys” is the direct object of the verb
“gave.”
4. Nouns as an Indirect Object
Noun or Pronoun as an indirect object is indirectly affected by the action of
the verb, usually placed before the direct object.
For Example, in this sentence
“He gave flowers to his mother,” “mother” is the indirect object of the verb
“gave.”
5. Nouns as Subject and Object Complements
An object complement is a word or phrase that follows a direct object or
renames it. Names, Professions, and Positions act as a role of an object
complement.
For Example,
“I painted the room, Green.”
In this sentence, “Green” is the object complement because it follows the
direct object “the room” and describes it.
When a noun is used to describe another type of noun. A subject
complement can be a noun or noun phrase.
For Example,
“The cookies taste delicious.”
In this sentence, “delicious” is used as a subject complement because it
follows the linking verb “taste” and describes the subject “

How do you identify a noun in a sentence?

Nouns often have articles (the, a, or an) before them in a sentence, but not
always. Sometimes you’ll see adjectives like red or some before nouns. Aside
from the first word in a sentence, if a word is capitalized, then it’s most likely
a proper noun, such as a person’s name

Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, or ideas. They can
be identified by their role in a sentence, being preceded by articles or
determiners, or by having a plural form.
Examples: “dog” in “The dog barked,” “John” and “store” in “John went to
the store,” “book” in “She read an interesting book.”
