NOUNS
1. What is a noun?
Noun comes from the Latin nōmen "name", a translation of Ancient Greek ónoma.
2.1 A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea. Whatever exists, weassume, can be named, and that name is a noun.
2.2 A proper noun, which names a specific person, place, or thing (Carlos, Queen Marguerite, Middle East, Jerusalem, Malaysia, God, Spanish).

3.6 Collective nouns, which can take a singular form but are composed of more than one individual person or items (jury, team, class, committee, herd).3. To acknowledge a "noun clause" we ask the questions What? Who(m)?+ verb. Example:
* What you did made me laugh.
What made me laugh? What you did.

Francis Macomber had, half an hour before, been carried to his tent from the edge of the camp in triumph on the arms and shoulders of the cook, the personal boys, the skinner and the porters. The gun-bearers had taken no part in the demonstration. When the native boys put him down at the door of his tent, he had shaken all their hands, received theircongratulations, and then gone into the tent and sat on the bed until his wife came in. She did not speak to him when she came in and he left the tent at once to wash his face and hands in the portable wash basin outside and go over to the dining tent to sit in a comfortable canvas chair in the breeze and the shade.
