is it correct?

Answer 15

There may be many nouns and verbs in a sentence. Some people say "the noun of the sentence" when they really mean "the subject." The subject is the noun that does the action when the sentence is in the active voice. People say "the verb of the sentence" when they really mean "the predicate."

People who do this may know no better. Or they may be trying to dumb things down for students. I happen to think it would be less confusing to use the more specific words.

A noun may be the subject, it may be the object or indirect object of a transitive verb, or it may be a predicate nominative which is a noun link to the subject by a copulative (linking) verb. A noun may also indicate the person a speech is addressed to.
