Helpful refresher especially for those whose first language isn't English. I find sometimes though I am a great writer and I have been in the US for 10yrs, I lack some of the basic bricks of innate knowledge that native speakers have.
I would argue that the definition of a noun as a person, place, or a thing is not incomplete because thing encompasses infinity, theoretically. Rather, I think that definition is too overarching.
My definition of a noun is something that was created.
-Hypothesis (intellectually created)
-Computer (created by manufacture)
-Animals (created by reproduction)
-New York City (created by humans)
So on and so on….
Now look at verbs: to jump, to run, to drive, to sit, to yell… No one creates those actions as we create nouns.
Rather my definition of verbs is something that we do.
-To yell (we yell)
-To play (we play)
-To sit (we sit)
-To be (we bit)
Now, compare that with nouns… Do we human? No. Rather we humanize (verb). Do we circulation? No. Rather we circulate (verb). Do we hypothesis? No. Rather we hypothesize (verb).

I really should've paid more attention in 4th grade.
So glad I'm an English major (for once)
He put love as a noun and a verb hahaha
Me: Laughing after taking my one grammar class in high school knowing I'll never see it again.
Me seeing the lsat grammar section is longer than arguments: XD
Starting to think I should have paid attention in first grade...
Flashbacks of elementary school when I refused to learn what an adjective is
