A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. If a word can wear a name tag—or you can point to it, count it, or talk about it—it’s probably a noun.

Quick ways to spot a noun
  • The article test
  • Pronoun swap
  • Counting/amount: Can you count it or measure it?
  • Preposition check: Does it fit after a preposition
Tricky spots to watch

– Capitalization: Proper nouns get capitals: Monday, Google, Africa.
– Abstract & noncount nouns: trust, courage, usually no plural
– Verb vs. noun look-alikes: Run (verb): We run daily. Run (noun): I went for a run.
– Possessives vs. plurals:
students (plural) vs. student’s (one student owns) vs. students’ (many students own)
