A noun is a word for a person, thing, place or quality. Nouns can be broken down into four, main (overlapping) groups: proper nouns, common nouns, concrete nouns and abstract nouns.

Common nouns refer to ordinary, everyday things, e.g. The fat cat sat on the mat; my friend loves ice-cream; my brother went to university.

Proper nouns are the names of persons, places, or things. Proper nouns begin with capital letters, e.g. John lives in London; in 2009 Christmas falls on a Friday; the Romans helped spread Christianity.

Concrete nouns refer to things you can experience with at least one of your five physical senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell). Most nouns are concrete nouns, e.g. The icemelted in the glass. The puppy ran around the yard. The thunder echoed through the valley.

Abstract nouns refer to things you cannot experience with your senses. Sometimes abstract nouns are called "idea nouns", e.g. curiosity killed the cat; the importance of being earnest;honesty is the best policy.

Most nouns (with very few exceptions, e.g. there is only one God but many gods) can used in their singular or plural forms depending on the context of the sentence.
