NOUNS

A noun is a word that represents a person, place, thing, or idea. It is one of the most important parts of speech in the English language and is used in sentences as the subject or object of a verb. Nouns can be singular or plural, and can also be categorized as common or proper. Common nouns refer to general categories of people, places, or things, while proper nouns refer to specific individuals, locations, or brands. In addition, there are also collective nouns, which refer to groups of people or things, and abstract nouns, which refer to intangible concepts or ideas.
