A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
Examples: Grandma made cookies for Jack and Jill. (subject of the sentence)
The cookies that grandma made are for Jack and Jill. (subject of the relative clause)
Grandma made cookies for Jack and Jill. (direct object of the verb 'made')
Grandma made cookies for Jack and Jill. (object of the preposition 'for')
A noun can also function as:
A noun of direct address, a noun used to get the attention of the person spoken to, or to address one person in a group.
Example: Jack said, "Grandma, you make good cookies."
A predicate nominative (also call a subject complement), a noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.
Example: Jack and Jill are twins. (Jack and Jill = twins)
An object complement, a noun that follows and modifies or refers to a direct object.
Example: Jack and Jill visited their grandma, Magda. (the noun 'Magda' restates the direct object, 'grandma')
An attributive noun, a noun that functions as an adjective to describe another noun (also called a noun adjunct).
Example: Grandma made almond cookies. (the noun 'almond' describes the noun 'cookies')
