The noun names each thing that exists in nature that can be an animal, a thing, an abstract object and even a person, going through a country or city, having classes to define it in a personal way and used to be called a name before.
With the passage of time, this name became a noun, although the word itself designates everything that is material and immaterial that surrounds us, among which we can mention:
- Objects like a table.
- Person like John
- City like Madrid.
- Country like Spain.
- Animals like dog.
- Feelings like love
- Insects like fly.
- Others.
With this we show you that everything that surrounds us has a name and the noun is what provides it, taking into account that it is something fixed for everything without having to repeat itself, in addition to coinciding grammatically with gender and number.
- Gender.
- Number.
- Name.
- Personal and unique.
- Special.

Instructions
As you already know, the noun is the word designated to give a name to anything in nature, it also has its classification to name each one of them, so knowing about this will help you better understand the Spanish language.
How to understand what is noun?
- Many names imply that something exists in the world, while others are named abstractly because they cannot be touched, seen or called, since they are feelings that the person carries within and yet they are manifested through feeling.
- Proper nouns have the particularity of specifying a person, animal or thing, for which it is necessary that they be written with the first letter in capital letter for greater personality, thus differentiating one person from another or one place from another and so on. Examples: Louis; Spikes; Caracas; Spain.
- Common nouns are those that designate in a singular way in addition to naming in a general way, without individualizing, but taking into account the characteristics that must be named, since in turn these are subdivided into two defined forms which are: Concrete: they are perceived by the senses And they can be individual and collective. Single: cat; Collective: people. Abstract: they are not perceived or felt by the senses. Hatred.
- The number in the noun tells us about how many things can be listed, whether they are animals, specific objects or people, as well as fruits, among many other things and that define the possibility of understanding when we are talking about a single thing and when about several.
- An example is that we can stipulate how many chairs can be in a ballroom, but we must not count how many grains of rice can be included in a paella, so in the first part it can be numbered, but in the second it cannot be counted.
- Primitives and derivatives. Primitive nouns have a root and do not have any further divisions, they are usually few and hardly used, but the derivatives come from a root that is not modified, but the endings it has are: Book: bookstore, bookseller, little book,…
- When speaking of gender in the noun, it refers to the change of sex when speaking of masculine or feminine, that is, when it is a man or a woman and those who accompany them must make the change, as is the case with articles. Female: Ana, Bolivia, Azúcar; Male: Pedro, Peru, Heat.
- There are particular cases in which a word defines both something of the female and male sex, taking into account that it works for one as well as for the other, in addition to using different words because the sex is not usually distinguished. As an example: Horse = Mackerel (NOT) = Mare
- When talking about the number in the noun, it refers to how many things we can talk about within the same word, that is, you can talk about several elements or a single element, specifically individualizing with the noun and this difference is made with a -s at the end.
- As in the previous part, there are also words that are used for both the singular and the plural, so it is important to keep this in mind when writing, naming or listening to them and not putting the -s at the end where it should go.
- Singular: speaking of only one thing, person or animal. Example: the cat, Ana, country.
- Plural: when talking about various things, animals and people. Example: María and Luis, the dogs, The countries.
- In the sentence. The noun is the nucleus of the subject in a sentence or what is the same, it represents the person, animal or thing of which one is talking or performs any action, having as a rule to have the modifiers that accompany it in gender and number.
- These can be adjectives, articles, complete or short phrases that always say something about the noun, but in general it is very easy to find within the sentence and can be defined from the moment the complete phrase or sentence is read.
- Shared role. The use of the noun in a sentence should not be exclusive to only one in particular, but rather it is shared, that is, several nuclei of the nominal phrase or subject can be found, understanding that they must also be in union with the verb in the predicate.
- The noun is easy to recognize because it is talked about and there is an existing relationship and protagonist within the sentence even if it is not immersed within the sentence, however it must be established that it is something that is always present in it.
- The concordance. It must be taken into account that the noun must have a union with each of the words that accompany it in a sentence, for this reason it is necessary to be aware of whether the sentence is actually well written and if everything agrees.
- Adjectives and articles have to agree both in gender and number with the noun as long as you are talking about feminine, masculine, singular or plural, so you must always be alert at all times when speaking and writing in any way or in any language.
- The same language. Despite the fact that we have different communication codes thanks to the different languages that exist in the world, we speak of the noun, its gender and number, since it is the same for all of them, but with different characters, despite everything we handle some similarity.
- The importance of the language leads us to define that if we study one completely, we have the possibility of understanding others with the same level of demand, for this reason we must scrutinize each of the words of our language and not be afraid to do it as learning.
