2. What is a noun?
A noun is a word that names General Specific Plural
(singular)
a general or specific person, star Brad Pitt stars
place, or thing. Nouns that
name a specific person, place,
park Yellowstone parks
or thing need to begin with National Park
capital letters.
shoe Puma shoes
Nouns can be singular,
meaning one, or plural,
meaning more than one.
3. Most nouns form the plural by adding –s or –es.
However, certain nouns (including those ending
in –y, those ending in –f or –fe, and hyphenated
nouns, like attorney-at-law) do not follow this
simple pattern. (See your textbook for more
specific details and advice.) The best way to
learn these plural forms is to practice them and
to say them out loud.
