A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing. A noun is used as the subject of a sentence or a clause and the object of a verb or a preposition.

The types of nouns are:

singular and plural nouns

common and proper nouns

abstract and concrete nouns

possessive nouns

collective nouns

compound nouns

count and non-count (mass) nouns

gerunds (verbal nouns)

Nouns can show number (either singular or plural); for example a tree, some trees; one child, two children; one lunch, two lunches.

Nouns can show possession, show that something in the sentence belongs to that noun. Possession is demonstrated by adding an apostorphe (') s to the end of the word or just an apostrophe to the end of some plurals that already end with an s. Examples:

Joe's tree was damaged in the storm. (the tree belongs to Joe)

The tree's leaves were falling off. (the leaves belong to the tree)
