NOUNS What Is a Noun? A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea. A common noun names a class of people, places, things, or ideas. A proper noun, which is always capitalized, names a particular person, place, thing, or idea. Examples: o A singular noun names one person, place, thing, or idea, while a plural noun names more than one person, place, thing, or idea. o A noun showing ownership is called a possessive noun. o Great-uncle is an example of a compound noun. o A noun that follows a verb of being is known as a predicate noun. o A noun that names a group of people, animals, or objects is called a collective noun.
