A noun is a part of speech that names a person, place or thing. Nouns can have more than one word and can be either abstract or concrete. A noun is marked with an underline when identified as a part of speech or as an individual noun: house, car, Mr. Green. When a noun is identified as a part of a sentence, it takes on the markings of the part of the sentence it represents such as a direct object or object of a preposition: Bill .ate. the /sandwich/. Sandwich is a noun acting as a direct object. “Larry and Fred ran {to the car}. The noun car is part of an adverb phrase and is included in the markings of the phrase.
• When a noun names something you can see or touch, it is called concrete: ball, car, boy, town, bridge • When a noun names things that cannot be seen or touched, it is called abstract: anger, success, loyalty, fear There are two types of nouns: common and proper: 1.
