Nouns are words that name people, animals, things, places,abstract ideas, feelings, substances or qualities. The following are examplesof nouns.
man (person)
lion (animal)
table (thing)
beauty (abstract idea)
happiness (feeling)
park (place)
iron (substance)
stubbornness (quality)
If parts of speech are considered the building blocks of asentence, nouns would be the cornerstone. They are the most substantiveelements of communication. Without a noun (or noun equivalent) it is almostimpossible to build a sentence in English.
Nouns do not have a distinct form that immediatelyidentifies them as nouns. There are, however, some word endings which indicate thata word is probably a noun.
Some nouns are formed from verbs. Nouns formed by adding theending ing to the base form of a verb are known as gerunds. (See YouCan Teach Gerunds and Infinitives)
Compound nouns are nouns formed from two words, (forexample, classroom, basketball and woodworm), or lesscommonly, three or more words (son-in-law). Sometimes compounds arespelled with a hyphen, and sometimes not (sight-seeing, sunbathing).
Nouns can have different functions in a sentence. They canbe found in the subject or predicate of a sentence. They are frequentlyaccompanied by modifiers, forming a noun phrase: the dog; an English teacher;an absolute coincidence. Examples of the different functions ofnouns or noun phrases are given in the sentences below.
Subject of a sentence
Object of the main verb
Subject complement of linking verbs such as be,seem, become, and appear
Object complement
Appositive (a noun or noun phrase which gives furtherinformation on another noun phrase which immediately precedes it, separated bycommas)
Identify the functions of the nouns underlined in thefollowing sentences.
Wenamed the baby Alec after his grandfather.
Whenyou buy something from a shop, you are making a contract .
Janiceand Boris are antique dealers .
The tower was built in 1989.
Lucerne,a magnificent city , is located on Lake Lucerne.
When students understand sentence structure and haveappropriate vocabulary, they can generally pick out the nouns. One fundamentalpoint of confusion is that in English, many words that are nouns can alsofunction as verbs. For example: The book is on the table vs. Iwant to book a table for two at The Ritz.
In addition to an understanding of structural rules, wordstress can be a significant differentiator in these cases, as the distinctionbetween nouns and verbs is often a matter of shifting the stress. For example: rec ord (noun) vs. re cord (verb).
Nouns can be preceded by determiners. (See You Can TeachArticles, Determiners and Quantifiers) Singular countable nouns alwaysrequire a determiner (for example, a, an, the, another,every, some, my, this).
anegg
everyperson
thatman
yourpen
Plural nouns are not preceded by a determiner when theyrefer to things or people in general.
Thepeople in my neighbourhood are generous.(specific people)
People are becoming more aware of thesituation. (people in general)
Nouns come after descriptive adjectives. (See You CanTeach Adjectives)
A bluecar is parked outside.
His narrow, brighteyes scaredme.
A noun can follow a preposition as the object of thepreposition. (A preposition followed by a noun or pronoun is called aprepositional phrase. The preposition introduces the phrase and the noun is theobject of that preposition.)
He lived inParisformonths.
A noun can be placed before another noun to describe ordefine it; the noun that precedes another noun is functioning as an adjective.
The kitchen walls are painted blue.
(noun kitchen functioning as an adjectivedescribing the noun walls)
