Remember!

Hi there! Let's talk about some of the special words called naming words.

Naming words (nouns) are words that name people, places, things and ideas. For example, "boy" is a naming word because it names a person. "School" is a naming word too because it's a place. And "happiness" is a naming word that names an idea or feeling.

There are a few different types of naming words:

Common naming words (common nouns) are the general names for things like "cat", "tree", "car". They don't start with a capital letter.
Proper naming words (proper nouns) name specific people, places or things and always start with a capital letter. For example, "Mary", "Chicago", "Monday".
A naming word can be singular if it means one, or plural if it means more than one. To make most naming words plural, we add an -s or -es at the end. For example, one "book" and two "books". One "fox" and five "foxes".
Concrete naming words (concrete nouns) are things you can see, hear or touch. "Ball", "noise", "table" are concrete. Abstract naming words are ideas, feelings, qualities that you can't physically touch, like "justice", "fun", "depth".
Naming words can be masculine (male) like "man", "actor", "king". Or feminine (female) like "woman", "queen", "nurse". Some are common (can be male or female) like "friend", "teacher", "person". And some are neuter (no gender) like "table", "ocean", "song".
We can also make naming word phrases (noun phrases) when we add words like adjectives to describe the noun. For example, "the big red ball" is a noun phrase with "big" and "red" describing "ball".

Now you know all about the special naming words! Let me know if you have any other questions.
