The lesson
A noun names a person, place, or thing. Dog, school, and book are nouns.
A verb is an action word. Run, eat, and play are verbs.
Try it together
Leo plays with his dog. Plays is the verb. It shows the action.
Good to know
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.
