Is us a noun

Answer 1

No, the word 'us' is not a noun. The word 'us' is a pronoun.

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

The pronoun 'us' is a personal pronoun.

A personal pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun for a specific person or thing.

The personal pronoun 'us' is takes the place of the noun (name) of the speaker and one or more other people as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

• Josh, Jane, and I went to see our grandma. Grandma made lunch for us. (the pronoun 'us' takes the place of the nouns 'Josh, Jane', and the pronoun 'I' as the object of the preposition 'for')
• You and I can take the bus. It will take us right to the mall. (the pronoun 'us' takes the place of the pronouns 'you and I' as the direct object of the verb 'will take')

The corresponding first person personal pronoun that functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause is 'we'.

Example: Josh, Jane, and I went to see our grandma. We had lunch with her. (the pronoun 'we' takes the place of the nouns 'Josh, Jane', and the pronoun 'I' as the subject of the second sentence)

Answer 2

The word 'use' is both a noun (pronounced 'yoos') and a verb (pronounced 'yooz').

The noun 'use' is a word for the purpose or utility of something.

The verb 'use' means to utilize, employ, or otherwise apply.

Example sentences:

I need to use a sharper knife to cut this meat. (verb)

The proper use of language is not as important as the message it conveys. (noun)

The noun forms of the verb to use are user and the gerund, using.
