Nouns: The Basics - San Jose State University

Nouns: The Basics What Are Nouns? Nouns are commonly defined as people, places, or things. They address the "who" or "what" of a sentence. The most reliable sign that a given word is a noun is if it follows an article like "the" or "a." Examples: The world is round. I saw a vampire last night. Nouns can also follow possessives or numbers.
