Nouns and Verbs

Nouns are words which name a person, place, or thing. Here are a few examples presented in sentences. (The underlined words are the nouns.) 


  The teacher ate a peach.

  Jill played in the snow.

  Jack waited for the ice to melt.
Verbs are words which name an action. Here are the same sentences with verbs underlined. 

  The teacher ate a peach.

  Jill played in the snow.

  Jack waited for the ice to melt.
Here's a sample problem you might see on a test:

    The boots were made of leather.
The answer is noun since leather describes a thing (a material used to make boots).
