2.  What are Nouns?
 Countable and Uncontable Nouns
 Countable Nouns
 Uncountable Nouns
 Proper Nouns (Names)
 Possessive’s
 Nouns as Adjective
 Compound Nouns

3.  The simple definition is: a person, place or thing. Here are
some examples:
 Person: man, woman, teacher, John, Mary
 Place: home, office, town, countryside, America
 Thing: table, car, banana, money, music, love, dog,
monkey
 Another (more complicated) way of recognizing a noun is by
its:
1. Noun Ending
2. Position in Sentence
3. Function

4.  Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things
that we can count. For example: “pen”. We can count
pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here
are some more countable nouns:
 dog, cat, animal, man, person
 table, chair, suitcase, bag

5.  Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we
cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count"
them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count
"bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot count
"milk" itself. Here are some more uncountable nouns:
 rice, sugar, butter, water,

6.  A proper noun is the special word (or name) that we use
for a person, place or organization, like John, Marie,
London, France or Sony. A name is a noun, but a very
special noun - a proper noun. Proper nouns have special
rules. Example:
Common noun Proper noun
man, boy John
woman, girl Mary
country, town England,
London
Company Ford, Sony

7.  When we want to show that something belongs to
somebody or something, we usually add 's to a singular
noun and an apostrophe ' to a plural noun.
one ball more than one ball
one boy
the boy's ball the boy's balls
more than one boy
the boys' ball the boys' balls

8.  As you know, a noun is a person, place or thing, and an
adjective is a word that describes a noun:
Adjective noun
clever teacher  clever teacher
small office  small office
black horse  black horse
 Sometimes we use a noun to describe another noun. In
that case, the first noun "acts as" an adjective.
noun as adjective noun
history teacher  history teacher
ticket cinema  ticket cinema
race horse  race horse

9.  A compound noun is a noun that is made with two or more
words. A compound noun is usually [noun + noun] or
[adjective + noun], but there are other combinations (see
below). It is important to understand and recognize
compound nouns. Each compound noun acts as a single unit
and can be modified by adjectives and other nouns. There are
three forms for compound nouns:
1) open or spaced - space between words (tennis shoe)
2) hyphenated - hyphen between words (six-pack)
3) closed or solid - no space or hyphen between words
(bedroom)

10.  Here are some examples of compound nouns:
Noun + noun bus stop Is this the bus stop for the number 12 bus?
football Shall we play football today?
Adjective + noun full moon I always feel crazy at full moon.
blackboard Clean the blackboard please.
Verb + noun breakfast We always eat breakfast at 8am.
(-ing)
swimming pool What a beautiful swimming pool!
verb + preposition check-out Please remember that check-out is at 12
noon.
check-in Please check-in immediately in at Resentika
hotel. There’s any spesial offer for all of you.
