How do you you explain a noun?

There are a lot of definitions for "noun," from the simple list to the complex linguistic explanation. The simple definition is a noun is a word for a person, a place or a thing.A way to explain what a noun is is to explain what a noun does.Nouns act as subjects. Nouns can be the subject of the sentence or a clause. When you say, "The dingo ate my baby.", the subject is "dingo." It's what the sentence is about; in this case, what the dingo did. Subjects can consist of just one word (simple subject) or a combination of words (complete subject), which in this case is "The dingo". A sentence can have more than one subject (compound subject), each with its own related words. Nouns also function as the subject of a clause. A clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb but is not a complete thought, it can not stand on its own. For example, in the sentence, "The animal, a dingo who at my baby, was tracked by the hunters.", the noun "dingo" is now the subject of the clause, "a dingo that ate my baby", a group of words that is not a complete thought. The noun "animal" is the subject of the sentence; the sentence tells what became of the animal. The other noun in the example sentences is "baby", the direct object of the verb in the first example and the object of the clause in the second example.Nouns act as objects. Nouns can be the object of a verb or a preposition. In the example above, the noun "baby" is the object of the verb "ate" as both the object of the sentence, then as the object of the clause. The second example sentence also contains a prepositional phrase, a preposition "by" and the object of that preposition "hunters" (the complete object "the hunters"). In the sentence, "Billy hit a teacher.", the object of the verb "hit" is "teacher." In the sentence, "I am sitting near a teacher.", the noun "teacher" is the object of the preposition "near". There are many prepositions, words that tell how a noun relates to the rest of the sentence; for example, "with a teacher", "by a teacher", or, "I am waiting for a teacher.", I am sending this to a teacher.", etc. The noun "teacher" is the object of all of those prepositions.There are a number of other linguistic terms to distinguish nouns, noun subjects and noun objects, these examples are the basics.
