Nouns

Everything you can put on a hamburger, visit on vacation, or write fanfic about has a noun that represents it.

Short version: a noun names a person, place, thing, or idea.

Almost all nouns can be singular, meaning one, or plural, meaning more than one.

Singular	Plural
skateboard	skateboards	[Use –s for regular nouns.]
tax	taxes	[Use –es when the noun ends in s, x, ch, sh, or z.]
werewolf	werewolves	[For nouns that end in f or fe, change the f to v, and add –es.]
city	cities	[For nouns that end in a consonant + y, change the y to i and add –es.]
child	children	[Irregular nouns don't use –s or –es. They take a totally new form.]

Nouns can also be made possessive to show ownership by slapping an 's on the end… with a few exceptions.

Elaine's dance moves are horrible. (They really are.)

The school's dress code forbids wearing porcupine costumes to class.

Nouns are so versatile that they can even be used to modify other nouns (which would technically makes them adjectives):

Jeff pulled an epic prank on his history teacher. (History is a noun that modifies teacher, which is also a noun.)

There are seven magnificent types of nouns:
