A noun is the name of a person (designer), object (computer), phenomenon (light) or process (development)<\/strong>\u00a0. Nouns are divided into common nouns, such as book, car, air, love, and proper nouns, such as Mary, Shakespeare, Moscow, the Mississippi, October, Sunday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Nouns are usually accompanied by articles and are often combined with prepositions.<\/strong>\u00a0The article and preposition are the main features of a noun: a table, the table (table), on the table (on the table), under the table (under the table).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Nouns have two numbers: singular and plural<\/strong>\u00a0, for example: a table (singular) table, tables (plural) tables.<\/p>\n

4. Nouns have two cases: common and possessive<\/strong>\u00a0, for example: mother (common case), mother’s (possessive).<\/p>\n\n

5. The gender of nouns in English is determined not by the form of the word, but by its meaning.<\/strong>\u00a0Nouns denoting animate objects are masculine or feminine, depending on the gender they denote: a man (masculine) a man, a woman (feminine) a woman. Nouns denoting inanimate objects are neuter: a chair (chair), water (water).<\/p>\n

6. Nouns are simple and derivative.<\/strong>\u00a0Simple nouns are nouns that do not have any prefixes or suffixes: city, book, wheat. Derived nouns are nouns that have suffixes or prefixes, or both: darkness, misprint, unemployment.<\/p>\n

7. The characteristic suffixes of derivative nouns include:<\/strong>
\n\u2013 er: manager, worker
\n\u2013 ment: government, advertisement
\n\u2013 \u200b\u200bess: hostess, actress
\n\u2013 ness: happiness, kindness
\n\u2013 ion: restriction, connection
\n\u2013 tion: formation, examination
\n\u2013 dom: wisdom, kingdom
\n\u2013 hood: childhood, neighbourhood
\n\u2013 ship: friendship, leadership
\n\u2013 ist: linguist, dramatist
\n\u2013 ty: property, cruelty
\n\u2013 ure: culture, structure
\n\u2013 age: passage, marriage
\n\u2013 ian: musician, technician
\n\u2013 (e)ance: difference (difference), importance (importance)
\n\u2013 ism: journalism (journalism), nationalism (nationalism)<\/p>\n

8. Nouns have almost no characteristic prefixes.<\/strong>\u00a0Prefixes of nouns generally coincide with prefixes of verbs and adjectives, because they occur mainly in nouns formed from these parts of speech:
\n\u2013 re: reconstruction, reflection
\n\u2013 co: coexistence, co-author
\n\u2013 dis: disarmament, dishonesty
\n\u2013 mis: misunderstanding, misrule
\n\u2013 over: overestimate, overflow
\n\u2013 un: uneasiness, unanimity
\n\u2013 under: underestimate, under-secretary
\n\u2013 in: inequality, inefficiency
\n\u2013 sub: subdivision, submission
\n\u2013 inter: interaction, interchange<\/p>\n

9. Some nouns are compound and are formed from two words that make up one concept:<\/strong>\u00a0bedroom, newspaper, reading-room. Some compound nouns are formed from two words with a preposition between them: commander-in-chief, mother-in-law.<\/p>\n

10. Nouns can be used in a sentence as:<\/strong>
\na) the subject: The train leaves at 6 o’clock.
\nb) the nominal part of a compound predicate: He is a teacher.
\nc) an object (direct, indirect prepositional and indirect prepositional): I’ve received a telegram.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
