    Nouns can serve several functions in a sentence. They can be the subject, which tells who or what the sentence is about. Nouns can also be direct objects, which receive the action of the verb, or indirect objects, which tell to whom or for whom the action is performed. Nouns can follow linking verbs as predicates. They can also be objects of prepositions at the end of prepositional phrases or serve as appositives, which provide additional information about another noun. Nouns can be objective complements, renaming the direct object, or used for direct address in a sentence. The document provides examples of nouns serving each of these functions and includes links to online quizzes for testing understanding of noun functions.
