Nouns are the most common parts of speech that you will teach your children when they are learning how to write. A noun names a person, place, thing or an idea. Nouns are usually the main subject in a sentence.

If your children are wondering if a word is a noun they can do a simple noun test by looking up the word in a dictionary. Most of the dictionaries will mark words with the abbreviations n or sub. N which shows that word is a noun.
