Assignment 3 : Nouns


Noun




Nouns

Nouns are naming words. Everything we can see or talk about is represented by a word which names it – that naming word is called a noun

Sometimes a noun will be the name for something we can touch (e.g., lion, cake, computer), and sometimes a noun will be the name for something we cannot touch (e.g., bravery, mile, joy). Everything is represented by a word that lets us talk about it. That includes people (e.g., man, scientist), animals (e.g., dog, lizard), places (e.g., town, street), objects (e.g., vase, pencil), substances (e.g., copper, glass), qualities (e.g., heroism, sorrow), actions (e.g., swimming, dancing), and measures (e.g., inch, ounce). 

Here are some more examples:
  • soldier - Alan - cousin - Frenchman   (< names for people)

  • rat - zebra - lion - aardvark (< names for animals)

  • house - London - factory - shelter   (< names for places)

  • table - frame - printer - chisel (< names for objects)

  • lead - nitrogen - water - ice (< names for substances)

  • kindness - beauty - bravery - wealth - faith (< names for qualities)

  • rowing - cooking - barking - reading - listening (< names for actions)

  • month - inch - day - pound - ounce (< names for measures)
