A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Example uses of the noun 'increase':

  • The increase in rent is more than I was expecting. (subject of the sentence)
  • When our increase is implemented, we'll be making a living wage. (subject of the dependent clause)
  • The legislature approved the increase in benefits. (direct object of the verb 'approved')
  • I'm asking the boss for an increase. (object of the preposition 'for')

The word 'increase' is also a verb: increase, increases, increasing, increased.
