noun

A noun is anything that can be named.  They have number, case, and gender.  Nouns are sometimes further sub-divided into

• common and proper nouns where a common noun is a general noun not referring to anything specific; e.g.  river is a common noun where Mississippi river is a proper noun;  city is a common noun while Topeka is a proper noun. video
• Another classification is abstract and concrete nouns where an abstract noun is not something that can be sensed.  A concrete noun is something that can be handled and sensed empirically.  Love, hate, justice are abstract nouns where dog, book, school are concrete nouns. video
• Nouns are often articular.
