How to Use the Word Carillon in a Sentence

The position of the words in an English sentence structurally identify the role of those words more than the form of the words. In the sentence "Mr. Rochester loves Jane Eyre," for example, you know "Mr. Rochester" is the subject, or noun, of the sentence because it comes first and in front of the verb; you also know "Jane Eyre" is the object of the transitive verb "loves" because it comes after the verb. Nouns can also be identified because they name something: a person, place, object or idea. If you know the word "carillon" is a noun, you already know how to use it properly in a sentence.
