Nouns are typically found in subject and object positions in a sentence. The subject is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about, while the object is the recipient of the action performed by the subject. Additionally, nouns can also be found in other parts of speech, such as as the object of a preposition or as the complement of a verb.
