Nouns are person, place or things.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

"Dance" can be a noun or a verb depending on how it is used. Noun: The senior class sponsored a dance. Verb: The boys dance with the girls.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but he said dance is a noun but dance is a verb

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

In our case, dance is clearly a noun. It is used as a thing, not as an action.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He is right. Read that one right above your last comment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could be either or, Noun: Person, Place or "THING"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry @mathstudent55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think of it this way, nouns you can touch hear or see verbs you can do

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

@AliSurfCat No problem at all.
