Introduction to Noun

Nouns are, if you like, the basic things we see around us. The food we eat, the phone you are using, your house, the settee, the table, the radiator, the carpet. You could go on and on making a list of all these things , and they would all be nouns. But if you think about it, there are other things we come across which we cannot see and touch. We can feel them but we can't see them, even if we have normal vision. Take love, for example, or fear, or anger. These are all nouns, but we can't see the three of them. We can see an expression (also a noun) on someone's face, but not fear itself.

Those who underwent primary or intermediary form of education should be familiar with this definition: a noun is a name of any person, animal, place or thing. It is a good definition but it does not encompass all nouns. By the virtue of the definition, noun like "wickedness" is excluded. What category does the word "wickedness" belong? Person? Animal? Place? Thing? It does not belong to any of the category. I believe by now you should know why I said the definition does not encompass all nouns.

Then, what is the encompassing definition? Noun is the name of anything: things can be animate or inanimate, visible or invisible, real or imaginary. This definition does not exclude or sideline some nouns. It covers every nouns known to man. In our next class, we shall be discussing types of noun. Thanks for reading.
