A noun is a kind of word (see part of speech) that is usually the name of a person, place, thing, quality, or idea. In English, nouns can be singular or plural or they can be 1st (first) 2nd (second) or 3rd (third) person. The first person is the person speaking. The second person is the person spoken to and the third person is the person spoken about.
Nouns often need a word called an article or determiner (like "the" or "that"). These words usually don't go with other kinds of words like verbs or adverbs. (For example, people don't say "I will the go to school" because "go" is a verb.) Adjectives can also describe nouns. In English, there are more nouns than any other kind of word.
Every language in the world has nouns, but they are not always used in the same ways. They also can have different properties in different languages. For example, in some other languages, nouns do not change for singular and plural, and sometimes there is no word for "the".
Some examples of nouns in English are: "time, people, way, year, government, day, world, life, work, part, number, house, system, company, end, party, information".
The history of the word "noun".
The word 'noun' comes from the Latin "nomen" meaning "name." Words like nouns were described in early days by the Sanskrit grammarian Pāṇini and ancient Greeks like Dionysios Thrax.
