Can you find your favorite toy, a person you know, and a place you go? You can point, look, or choose. You do not have to say the words. Your toy is a thing. Your parent is a person. Your home is a place. Here is the helpful name: a noun is a word that names a person, a place, or a thing. Look around your day: your parent, your home, and your toy all have naming words. So noun is not a strange thing to memorize. It is a label for something you already know. Toy is a noun. Parent is a noun. Home is a noun. And your favorite toy? Its name is a noun too, because it names a thing. Can you tell what makes a word a noun? Yes-you can tell it's a noun if it names a person, place, or thing-like you, home, or your favorite toy.
