Identifying Nouns
A noun is a word that is used to name a person, place, thing, or idea.
It is the first of eight basic parts of speech.
A noun that is a person, place, or thing, is usually something you can see or touch. For example, in the sentence, "My grandmother is here." you cannot see a "my," an "is," or a "here." But, you can see a "grandmother." Unless it is representing an idea, you can usually draw a picture of a noun. So, to find the noun in a sentence, try to find a word that is something you can draw a picture of.
