So i have this english worksheet. The sentence is "Here stood Abraham Lincoln's first home."

Now my first thought was if Here was a noun or not. Or maybe home. But the verb refers to the home. So im thinking its home. any help?

home is the noun. Here is an adverb.

here is the adjective (description) of home.
home is the noun
for it to be an adverb, the home would have to be a verb.
I don't know, but here could be an adverb for stood.

Yup, 'here' would be the adverb. It does not describe the house, and would not be an adjective.

Yep. "Here" modifies the verb "stood."
