    A noun is a word that names something, such as a concrete object like a dog or an abstract concept like an idea. Nouns can be singular or plural, countable or uncountable, and proper nouns name specific people or things. Nouns are the heads of noun phrases and serve as subjects, objects, or complements in sentences. New nouns can be created from verbs, adjectives, or adverbs through a process called nominalization.

    Noun

    A noun is any word that can be used to name something. Nouns can be
    concrete (dog) or abstract (idea), singular (goose), plural (geese), uncountable
    (sheep) or proper (Tom). Nouns can also modify other nouns (coffee
    morning). Nouns are an open grammatical class, meaning that they have
    many members and that new nouns can be created. Nouns function as heads
    of noun phrases which in turn perform the functions of SUBJECT, OBJECT and
    complement in a sentence. Nouns can be created from verbs, adjectives or
    adverbs, sometimes via a process called NOMINALIZATION (e.g. accept
    acceptance).
