The word about is not a noun but it is an adverb; about is also a preposition.

When the word 'about' is followed by a noun or a pronoun, it is a preposition:

  • His fans flocked all about him.
  • I don't know much about string theory.

When the word 'about' is not followed by a noun or a pronoun, it is an adverb:

  • She looked about but didn't see who called out to her.
  • The flowers scattered about made the table look festive.
