1 · Read
A noun names a person, place, or thing. Dog, school, and book are nouns. We use nouns to say who or what we mean.
A verb is an action word. Run, eat, and play are verbs.
Leo plays with his dog. Plays is the verb. It shows the action.
Ask what is it to find a noun. Ask what do they do to find a verb.
Nouns name people, places, and things, and verbs tell what they do.
