There is no noun in that sentence.
Hello, Ms. Sue. There most definitely IS a noun - although it is a pronoun, it's still a noun - it's "he"!
Pronouns are not nouns. Pronouns take the place of nouns. The eight parts of speech are:
noun
pronoun
verb
adjective
adverb
preposition
conjunction
interjection
noun
pronoun
verb
adjective
adverb
preposition
conjunction
interjection
oh, yeah, right. oops! i forgot. boy, are you smart! :) (i guess b/c you're a teacher!!) :)
but yeah, couldn't you consider it to be a noun, if you're not counting pronouns? just wondering.

No. "He" is NOT a noun. "He" is always a pronoun. When a question asks about parts of speech, we must consider all of the parts of speech. We can't "not count" any of them.
