A noun is a thing or idea as a part of speech. It can be a predicate noun, a direct object, a preposition object, a subject, and more. A predicate noun is a noun that follows a linking verb to describe the subject (e.g. The bird is a crow (where "crow" is the predicate noun)). A direct object is the thing that receives the action (verb) committed by the subject (e.g. The bird killed the man ("man" is the direct object)). A prepositional object is whatever noun with which the preposition is describing a relation (e.g. The bird is below the cloud (where "cloud" is the object if the preposition "below")). A subject is whatever noun is committing the action or predicate (e.g. The bird killed the man ("bird" is the subject)).
