The document defines nouns as words that name people, places, things, or ideas. It explains that common nouns are lowercase unless starting a sentence, while proper nouns are always capitalized. Singular nouns refer to one person/place/thing, while plural nouns end in "s", "es", or change "y" to "i" and add "es". The document provides examples to illustrate these noun concepts.
