Noun: Noun is one of the fundamental parts of ‘Parts of Speech’ in English grammar. It is defined in various ways. Some says that ‘naming words are nouns.’ Some others say that ‘a word that represents a person, place, thing and idea is known as noun.’ Nouns are countable and uncountable both. They are concrete and abstract too. In forms they are singular and plural too.
