The word "is" is NOT a noun.

The word "is" is a verb, a form of the verb "to be".

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

The verb "is" functions as a main verb and an auxiliary (helping) verb.

Examples:

Margaret is smart.

  • main verb, Margaret = smart;
  • the word smart is a predicate adjective;
  • the noun is Margaret, a word for a person.

The class is going to Spain.

  • auxiliary verb, the main verb is going;
  • the noun class is a word for a thing;
  • the noun Spain is a word for a place.
