Video narration
Inside our classroom, a teacher points: a student, a school, a book, a peacock, and Rajasthan. Each word names something we see or know. What do these words have in common? They are all nouns. A noun is a naming word. Look around this classroom. A noun can name a person, like a student; a place, like a school or Rajasthan; an animal, like a peacock; a thing, like a book; or an idea-something you can think about, even if you cannot hold it. Different words, one job: naming. That is the rule. When a word names a person, place, animal, thing, or idea, it is a noun. When you see a word, ask: Is it naming someone, somewhere, something, an animal, or an idea? If yes, you have found a noun. Now look around your classroom or home. Find five nouns around you!
