Plato recognised a class of words in Greek that he called onoma or "name". This was translated into Latin as nomen, which is the origin of our word noun.
Nouns enable us to name things that exist in the world.
The familiar traditional definition of a noun is "a naming word": it refers to a thing, a person, or a substance.
This is a good starting point.

Irregular Plural Nouns
Most nouns in English are made into plural nouns by adding an s to the singular form. If the noun ends with an s, ch, sh, or x, an es is added to make the noun plural. Plural nouns that are not made plural in this way are irregular plural nouns.
There are two or more plural nouns in each sentence. Only one of them is a ...

Now that you have learned all the parts of speech, you can identify the words in a sentence. This chapter will give you some clues that will make identification easier.
First of all, a word can be more than one part of speech and you have to look at how the word works in a particular sentence to know what part of speech it is. The chart below shows examples of words that have more than one part of speech.

Prepositions
Prepositions are very difficult for second-language learners. The best way to learn to use them is to listen to native speakers use them and to read a lot of fiction. Still it often takes many years
to perfect.
The most difficult prepositions, in my experience, are in, on, at, and to.
Prepositions of place or space:

The Parts of Speech
Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection.
Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. The next few examples show how a word's part of speech can change from one sentence to the next, and following them is a ser ...

The parts of speech
The eight parts of speech that form sentences and a description of each.
What is Grammar?
Grammar makes up all the words and structures in a sentence.
What are the parts of speech?
The parts of speech are nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
What is a noun?
A noun is used to name a person, place, thing, quality or idea. A few examples of each are Bill, Detroit, car, beauty and justice.

The Parts of the Sentence
The parts of the sentence are a set of terms for describing how people construct sentences from smaller pieces. There is not a direct correspondence between the parts of the sentence and the parts of speech -- the subject of a sentence, for example, could be a noun, a pronoun, or even an entire phrase or clause. Like the parts of speech, however, the parts of the sentence form part of the basic vocabulary of grammar, and it is important that you take some time to learn and understand them.

Verbs Can Become Adjectives
Words that are normally verbs can often be used as adjectives. If a word modifies a noun or pronoun, it is an adjective, even if that word is usually associated with a different part of speech.
Sometimes the present participle (verb plus ing) form of a verb becomes an adjective:
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
