A nominative noun is a noun that functions as:
- the subject of a sentence.
- the subject of a clause,
- a predicate nominative (also called a subject complement, a noun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject).

- The flowers that my neighbor gave me are from his garden. (subject of the relative clause)
- Mr. Jones is my neighbor. (predicate nominative, restates the subject noun)

The function of a noun in the nominative case is as the subject of a sentence or a clause. Example:
- John, the person who called, will be here at six. (The noun clause 'the person who called' is acting as the appositive of the subject John.)
- John is the person who called. (The noun clause 'the person who called' is the subject complement, following a linking verb, for the noun John.)
- John, who is the person who called? (Speaking directly to John, the subject of the sentence is the interrogative pronoun 'who'.)
