ABSTRACT

If you know what a noun is, go on to 2.2. Nouns are naming words. They tell you who somebody is (e.g. he is a farmer, she is a dentist) or what something is (e.g. it is a table, it is a rainbow).

You can recognise nouns because you can say ‘the’ or ‘a’ in front of them, e.g. a pencil, the dog, a house, the postman.
