The word "are" is not a noun. The word "are" is a form of the verb to be. The verb "are" functions as a verb, an auxiliary verb, or a linking verb.

Examples:

The boys are home. (verb)

Mom and I are baking cookies. (auxiliary verb)

We are hungry. (linking verb)

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

The nouns in the example sentences are: boys, home, mom, cookies.

Are is a verb. Proper nouns are the unique names of people, places, or things. Common nouns are the words for general things. If a common noun is part of a name, it becomes a proper noun. Pronouns always replace proper and common nouns.
