The word 'was' is not a noun. The word 'was' is a verb; the first and third person, singular form of the verb 'to be'.

Examples:

I was a teacher in Mexico last year. (verb)

He was standing by the fountain. (auxiliary verb)

Mom said that she was busy. (verb)

It was raining all afternoon. (auxiliary verb)

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

The nouns in the example sentences are:

  • teacher, a person
  • Mexico, a place
  • year, a thing
  • fountain, a thing
  • Mom, a person
  • afternoon, a thing
