A noun is the name of a person, place, thing or idea.

There will normally be at least one noun (the subject) in a sentence.

For example,

Sue ran slowly.

“Sue” is both a noun and the subject (what the sentence is about).

There can be more than one (subject and object).
For example,

Sue ran slowly across the street.

“Sue” is the subject and “street” is the object.

Remember, if it’s a name, it’s a noun.
