Lesson Summary
Nouns name people, places, things, or ideas. Verbs show actions or states of being.
Explanation
A noun can be a person (teacher), a place (park), a thing (book), or an idea (happiness). A verb tells what the noun does or is. In the sentence 'The cat sleeps on the couch,' 'cat' and 'couch' are nouns and 'sleeps' is the verb. Every complete sentence needs at least one noun and one verb. Learning to spot them helps you build stronger sentences.
