Definition

Noun is a word that names a person or thing. We have underlined the nouns in the following examples.

Proper names

The names of specific people or objects are called proper names. In English, proper names are written with a capital letter. We have underlined proper names in the following examples.

Countable nouns

Countable nouns are called nouns that denote objects that can be counted, i.e. You can form the plural from them. In singular form before them a, an(an article indicating that the subject one) or a number indicating the number of items, if there are several of them. We have emphasized countable nouns in the following examples.

Pluralizing nouns

In general, when a count noun refers to two or more things, it must be in the plural form. In English, most nouns are pluralized by adding an ending s.

Verb agreement

We draw your attention to the fact that the verb must be in the same form regarding its person and number as the noun. When the subject names one thing, i.e. is in the singular form, the verb must be in the 3rd person singular form, i.e. corresponding to personal pronouns he, she And it.When the subject names several objects, i.e. is in the plural form, the verb must have the 3rd person plural form, i.e. corresponding to the personal pronoun they. In the following examples, we have highlighted the verbs in bold and underlined their corresponding nouns that name the object or objects.

Nouns are divided into three types according to the type of declension:

1. Feminine nouns ending in -а, -я (earth);
2. Masculine nouns with a zero ending, neuter nouns with the ending -о, -е (house, field);
3. Feminine nouns ending in zero (mouse).

In the Russian language, a special group is made up of indeclinable nouns: burden, crown, flame, udder, banner, tribe, stirrup, time, name, path.

A significant group of nouns does not change in gender and number; they are called indeclinable; depot, foyer, aloe, coffee, coat, attache and others.

Adjectives change according to gender, number and case in the singular. In the plural, the case endings of adjectives of all three genders are the same: new tables, books, feathers.

There are certain rules for declension and numerals. For example, the numeral one is declined as a singular adjective, and the numerals two, three, four have special case forms that are similar to the endings of plural adjectives.

Numerals from five to ten and numerals -twenty and -ten are declined according to the third declension of nouns.

The numerals forty and ninety have two case forms: forty and ninety.

The numerals two hundred, three hundred, four hundred and all numerals starting with -hundred have both parts declined.
