Nouns are words for people, places, things, or ideas. This lesson will focus on 3 kinds of nouns:

  1. Singular nouns-words that represent ONE person, place, thing, or idea.  
  2. Plural nouns-words that represent TWO or MORE people, places, things, or ideas.
  3. Non-count nouns-words that we can not count individually.
