What Is a Noun?

A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. When we use them in our writing, we often need to place an article before them, such as "a," "an," or "the." For example, "a figment," "an eggplant," or "the finale."

One of the primary functions of nouns is to act as the subject of the sentence. So, in the sentence, "The future is bright," "future" is a noun. Nouns are often direct objects, too. In the sentence, "The mother ate fruit," "fruit" is the direct object. It's the object of the verb, "ate."

Types of Nouns

Nouns are categorized into several types. Here's a look at five of the most common categories:

• Proper nouns name specific things, like the names of people, cities, states, countries, buildings, and books. As proper nouns, they're capitalized. So, "Fiona" is a proper noun, but "female" is a common noun.
• Common nouns refer to general items, such as "fortress," instead of "Fort Arbuckle" in Florida.
• Abstract nouns are used when you can't touch the noun. These nouns are theoretical, such as "feelings" or "fortitude."
• Collective nouns refer to large groups, such as a "firm" of lawyers or a "family" of squirrels.
• Possessive nouns demonstrate ownership over something else. For example, with "Felix's farm," "Felix's" is a possessive noun, indicating that he owns the farm.
