Nouns represent persons, places, and things. There are two types of nouns, proper nound and common nouns.

Proper nouns

Name particular persons, places or things. there are usually unique and are capitalized in writting.

In common nouns is important to say that there are two types of common nouns, are count nouns and non count nouns.

Count nonuns

refer to things that you can count separatly. they can be singular or popular. here you can use the letters (a or an)  before count nouns.

Non count nouns

 Refer to things that you can not count sparatly. they usually have non plural from. we usually do not use  (a and an)  with non count nouns, thought they are often preceded by some or the

Be careful

Many nouns have both count and non contable nouns meaniings.

we normally use a singular verb with a non count noun. we use a singular  proni¿oun to refer the noun.
