Nouns – Words That Name Things!

Hello, Super Learners! Today, we’re going to explore the world of nouns! Do you know what a noun is? A noun is a special word that gives a name to everything around us. From the people we meet to the places we visit, and even the ideas we think about—nouns are all around us!

 

What Are Nouns?

Think of nouns as the names of everything in your world. If you can see it, hear it, touch it, or even just think about it, chances are it has a name—and that name is a noun!

 

Fun Tip: Here’s a trick! If you can put the word “the” in front of a word and it makes sense, that word is probably a noun. Try it with these:

  • The sun
  • The car
  • The cake

 

See? They all make sense!
