What are the 5 jobs of nouns?

While there isn't a strict "5 jobs" of nouns, they play essential roles in a sentence. Here are 5 ways to think about the jobs of nouns:

1. Subject: The noun that performs the action in a sentence.

* Example: The dog barked loudly. ("Dog" is the subject)

2. Direct Object: The noun receiving the action of the verb.

* Example: She threw the ball. ("Ball" is the direct object)

3. Indirect Object: The noun that benefits from the action of the verb.

* Example: He gave her a flower. ("Her" is the indirect object)

4. Object of a Preposition: The noun following a preposition (words like "of," "to," "from," etc.).

* Example: He sat on the bench. ("Bench" is the object of the preposition "on")

5. Appositive: A noun that renames or explains another noun.

* Example: The actor, a famous star, waved to the crowd. ("Star" is an appositive for "actor")

Remember that nouns can perform multiple functions within the same sentence.
