📖 Module Introduction · 模块介绍
Nouns in Action · 名词的作用
Nouns are naming words — they identify people (woman, teacher), places (school, city), things (book, phone), and ideas (love, time). Every English sentence needs at least one noun to be complete. At A1 level, learning the most common nouns lets you describe your world immediately.
Nouns can be singular (one book) or plural (two books). They are used with articles — a, an, the — and can be the subject or the object of a sentence. This module covers the 100 most-used nouns in English organized by category.
A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Nouns can be singular or plural. Most plurals add -s or -es. Some nouns are irregular (child → children, man → men). Use a/an for singular countable nouns and the for specific nouns.

⚠️ WATCH OUT! · 注意！
Not all nouns add -s to form the plural. Some are irregular: man → men, woman → women, child → children, foot → feet, tooth → teeth, person → people. Uncountable nouns like water, money, information, advice do not have a plural form — never say "waters" or "informations" in standard English.
