Grammar is the system and structure of a language, or of languages in general. It therefore covers syntax, or how sentences are put together from words and phrases, and the functions of particular words.
Grammar is different in different languages, although some may have some common features. For example, many European languages share similarities in sentence structure.
If you do not use correct grammar and punctuation, your meaning will be unclear or ambiguous. Grammatical mistakes also slow down reading. They may distract readers from the meaning and messages in your writing. Understanding how to put sentences together using correct grammar is therefore crucial for good writing.
Types of Words: Nouns
Nouns are naming words. They are words for things, including both objects and feelings.
Nouns may be abstract or concrete.
Concrete nouns are words for things that you can see, hear and/or touch, such as cat, dog, child, wall, car and so on.
Abstract nouns are words for things that cannot be seen or touched, such as feelings or emotions. Love, hate, and jealousy are all abstract nouns.
Proper nouns are the names of people, places or companies, such as Mary, John, Volvo, and London. These are always capitalised.
