A NOUN is the name of a person, place, or thing.   Examples: Person: Doctor, cleaner, policeman, mother, Mr. Yamamoto Place: Park, mall, Las Vegas, South Africa Things Pen, laptop To be more accurate, let’s establish that there are two kinds of nouns, which are the Common Noun and the Proper Noun. Common noun is the name of an entire group of people, things, or places. A Proper Noun is the exact name of a thing, a place or a person. Examples: Common Noun                                 Proper Noun Singer                                                 Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Calum Scott Dancer                                                Namuro Amie      Philosopher                                        Plato, Socrates
