    no, It is a verb sir, cos you said :

    Listen to them order sth at a restaurant;

    Listen to Rex and Hannah ordering their food at a restaurant.

    you need to read more text in order to write good.

    :)

     

    We mark our nouns. So in this example, no.

    "Listen to Rex's and Hannah's order in a restaurant." Here, it is a noun because Rex and Hannah are in the possessive form. It's their order.

    "Listen to Rex and Hannah order in a restaurant." In this case, "order" is clearly a verb because of it's placement in a sentence: "Listen to (what?) Rex and Hannah order (where?) in a restaurant." The core of the sentence is "Rex and Hannah order", so therefore we must treat "order" as a verb because it follows the subject.
