Nouns refer to people, places, or things. They can be countable like "dogs" or uncountable like "rice". Proper nouns are capitalized names like people, places, months. The possessive form is created by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to show ownership like "John's car". Nouns can also act as adjectives to describe other nouns like "love story" or "bathroom".
