Nouns:
* Name people, places, things, or ideas.
* Examples: *John*, *London*, *table*, *love*
* Act as the subject of a sentence (who or what is doing the action).
* Example: *The dog* barked. (*dog* is the subject)
* Can also be the object of a verb (who or what is receiving the action).
* Example: He petted *the cat*. (*cat* is the object)
Verbs:
* Describe actions, states of being, or occurrences.
* Examples: *run*, *sleep*, *is*, *happen*
* Show what the subject is doing or being.
* Example: The dog *barked*. (*barked* is the verb)
* Can be in different tenses (past, present, future).
* Examples: *ran*, *running*, *will run*
Here's a simple way to remember the difference:
* Nouns are things.
* Verbs are actions.
Sometimes, words can be both nouns and verbs depending on how they are used in the sentence.
* Example: *He gave her a *gift*. (*gift* is a noun)*
*They *gift* the charity with money. (*gift* is a verb)*
