Hi there, little adventurer! 👋
Greetings from Noun Town, a mystical location where everything has a name. Indeed, everything! Let’s explore this town and learn about the amazing world of nouns, which are the words we use to identify people, places, and objects.
🌟 What Is a Noun?
A noun is a naming word. It names a person, a place, a thing, or even an idea. Think of it like a label that helps us talk about the world around us.
There are 3 types of common nouns we’re going to explore today:
- 🧍 People
- 🏡 Places
- 🧸 Things
