Krisna What is nouns ?
Erliza A noun is a word that functions as the name of some specific thing or set of things, such
Arlya as living creatures, objects, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas.
Linguistically, a noun is a member of a large, open part of speech whose members can
occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of
a preposition.
Lexical categories (parts of speech) are defined in terms of the ways in which their
members combine with other kinds of expressions. The syntactic rules for nouns differ
from language to language. In English, nouns are those words which can occur
with articles and attributive adjectives and can function as the head of a noun phrase.
