List of nouns




Nouns are the words we use to name things.

They make up the largest group of words in the English language.

Eyeball, sky, toenail, curtain, fish, arm, Amanda, London, rain, horses, book, bridge, pasta, clouds, finger, custard, street, Friday, face, monster and house are all nouns.

London, Amanda and Friday are the names of things that have a unique identity. They are called proper nouns and are always written with a capital.

The other nouns (rain, horses, book etc) are the names of generic groups of things. These are common nouns and are always written without a capital.
