Nouns in English Grammar 

---

What Is A Noun?

---

The Noun, is what we call one of the “Parts of Speech” in English grammar.  That which we call “Nouns” are Words which represent a:  Person, Place, Thing, Event, Idea, or Animal.

This is usually shortened to just “Things“.  However, it is wrong to say that “Nouns are things”.  Nouns are not…  Instead, the WORD “Noun” is the grammatical term for anything which can be referred to as a “Thing“.

There are many different classifications of Nouns:

---

• Proper & Common Nouns

• Countable & Un-Countable Nouns

• Collective Nouns

• Concrete & Abstract Nouns

---

Besides these, there are also:

---

• Noun Phrases

• Pronouns

• Adjectives as Nouns

• Verbs as Noun

---

These different classifications of Nouns will be covered in future posts.  For now, let’s see some examples of Nouns as described in their most basic forms.
