T he N oun
T h e N o u n Recognize a noun when you see one. George! Jupiter! Ice cream! Courage! Books! Bottles! Godzilla! All of these words are nouns, words that identify the whos, wheres, and whats in language. Nouns name people, places, and things. Read the sentence that follows: George and G odzilla w al ked to Antoni o's to order a l arge pep pero ni pi zza. George is a person. Antonio's is a place. Pizza is a thing. Godzilla likes to think he's a person, is as big as a place, but qualifies as another thing. Understand the functions that nouns provide in sentences. Nouns can function as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, objects of prepositions, and subject complements. Check out these examples: Godzilla or dere d a larg e pe pper on i p izza an d a te th e pi e i n a sin gle bi te. Godzilla = the subject for the verbs ordered and ate. Geor ge o ffere d Godzilla a te n-d oll ar loan to bu y a s ec on d pizza. Godzilla = the indirect object of offered; loan = the direct object of offered.
