Nouns

What We Name

Nouns are the anchors of language. They are the names we give to the people in our lives, the places we visit, the things we use, and the invisible ideas that shape our world. But not all nouns are the same. A 'dog' is very different from 'bravery', and 'a team' is different from 'a player'. This chapter will sharpen your ability to see these differences, making you a more precise reader and writer.

A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. It can also name a group, a quality, or an action.
