Nouns

In a sentence a noun can function as:

• the subject (the person/thing doing/performing/controlling the action of the verb)
• the object
  • direct object of a verb (what receives the action of the verb)
  • indirect object of a verb (what receives the direct object of the verb)
  • object of a preposition (use prepositions before nouns to create prepositional phrases)
