Question

What is the difference between a noun and a verb isn`t it the same?

Answer 1

Not at all.

A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea (or concept). This also includes emotions (when properly derived into noun form).

John, (The) President, Canada, clock, peace, and happiness are all nouns.

A verb is an action -- what the subject of a sentence does. Note that being is also an action, so if a sentence appears not to have a verb, check for 'is' or 'are'.

John *tried* to *become* the President of Canada, but *failed* to *collect* the most votes. (Where *word* is a noun).

Answer 2

No, nouns and verbs are not the same.

Nouns name people, places, things and ideas. Some examples of nouns are:
girl
friend
dog
house
school
patriotism
flag
New Jersey
country
sky
Julie

Verbs show action or state of being. Some examples are:
is
are
jump
swim
remember
study
try
sleep

Take a look at these sentences. The nouns are in <b>bold</b> and the verbs are <u>underlined</u>.

<b>Mary</b> <u>ran</u> around the <b>gym</b>.
The <b>dog</b> <u>barked</u> all <b>night</b>.
My favorite </b>teacher</b> <u>was</u> <b>Mr. O'Hara</b>

Answer 3

Ooops -- the last sentence should be:
My favorite <b>teacher</b> <u>was</u> <b>Mr. O'Hara</b>.
