A noun is a naming word which is used to name:

Every sentence we read will have at least one noun but it can have more than one.

Nouns can either be proper nouns:

Common nouns name people, places or things and do not need a capital letter. For example

Proper nouns name specific people, places and things and need a capital letter. For example

Note when using proper nouns we need to use a capital letter no matter where it appears in a sentence.
