NOUNS
Identifying nouns
Nouns are commonly defined as words that refer to a person, place, thing, or idea.
How can you identify a noun?
Quick tip
If you can put the word the in front of a word and it sounds like a unit, the word is a noun.
For example, the boy sounds like a unit, so boy is a noun. The chair sounds like a unit, so chair is a noun. Compare these nouns to*the very, *the walked, *the because. Very, walked, and because are not nouns. While you can easily put the and very together (for example, the very tall boy), the very, by itself, does not work as a unit while the chair does. So, chair is a noun; very is not. (There is one kind of noun that cannot always have the in front of it)
