A noun is a word for a (a) , place, thing, or idea. Nouns are often used with an article (the, a, an), but not always. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter; (b) nouns do not. Nouns can be singular or plural, concrete or (c) . Nouns show (d) by adding 's. Nouns can function in different (e) within a sentence; for example, a noun can be a subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, or object of a preposition.
Answer explanation
*concrete vs abstract nouns: “concrete” refers to a noun with physical characteristics. Chair, Steven, dog, America… these are all things we can see, touch or feel. We call these concrete nouns. “Abstract” nouns are things that don’t have physical characteristics. Hunger, guilt, anger, distrust… these are all things that might be felt emotionally, but not physically. We call these abstract nouns.
