Nouns
are one of the most common "blocks" which are used to refer to people, animals, places, things, ideas, or events.

They encompass most of the words of a language.

They can be a/an:

💥Person 👩‍🦰 – The name for a person: Max, Julie, Catherine, etc.

💥Animal 🐕 – The name for an animal: dog, cat, cow, etc.

💥Place 🏙️– The name for a place: London, Australia, Canada, etc.

💥Thing 👟 – The name for a thing: bat, bell, chair, door, house, etc.

💥Idea 💭 – The name for an idea: devotion, superstition, happiness, etc.

Some examples of nouns that we can see are the following:

• Alex is a wonderful player.
• Sydney Lions is the team he plays for.
• They had to ask for the VAR
• Honesty is hard to find nowadays

Remember:

If a word starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) we put AN in front of it.

AN elephant. 🐘

If it starts with a consonant, we put A in front of it

A chair. 🪑
