NOUNS: Introduction

Words that name people, things,places, or qualities we call NOUNS. Disu, boy, House, India, honestly are all nouns. Any male child is called a 'boy';a building in Which people Live is called a 'House'; any large area of land that has national boundaries is called a 'country' but only one country is called 'India'. Although we cannot see or eat or smell or feel honestly, we all know what is meant by it. So all of these are NOUNS.
But we have already mentioned different kinds of nouns. 'chair' is a name common to all seats suitable for one person to sit on, and having a back to lean against; 'boy' is a name common to all male children. we call these COMMON NOUNS.
'India' is a name given to one PARTICULAR PLACE. 'Disu' is a name given to one PARTICULAR BOY.
it is proper to use that name only for that particular country or boy. Notice that they both began with capital letters. These we call PROPER NOUNS. Names of days of the week and months of the year are also proper nouns. They all began with capital letters. We also treat certain titles given to people as if they were names. For example, the President, the principal.
There are many nouns like 'honestly' is a thing, but our idea of 'honestly' is just as certain as if It was a thing. The same goes to 'knowledge', 'kindness', 'regularity', 'difference' and 'helpfulness'. Such nouns we call ABSTRACT NOUNS.
These are Names of qualities.
