Noun Quizzes, Questions & Answers

Of course, it's a part of speech. But it's not quite as simple as that. Typically, a noun is a person, thing, place or idea, and it can appear in various parts of a phrase or sentence. In the well-known phrase "The cat sat on the mat" do you know which words are nouns? The answer is "cat" and "mat", the cat being the subject of the sentence and the mat being the object. In some languages, like French and German, nouns are assigned a gender... German has three, masculine, feminine and neuter.
