Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. They help us talk about everything around us.
Nouns are the building blocks of sentences. Every sentence usually has at least one noun.
A common noun names any person, place, thing, or idea. A proper noun names a specific person, place, or thing and always begins with a capital letter.
Remember: proper nouns are always capitalized, no matter where they appear in the sentence.
A singular noun names one person, place, thing, or idea. A plural noun names more than one.
Most plurals are formed by adding ā-sā or ā-es,ā but some nouns have irregular plural forms (like child ā children).
Concrete nouns are things you can see, hear, touch, taste, or smell. Abstract nouns are ideas, feelings, or qualities that you cannot sense directly.
Concrete nouns are easier to picture, while abstract nouns describe concepts you can think about but not physically touch.
Nouns can be subjects or objects in a sentence. The subject tells who or what the sentence is about, and the object receives the action.
