মনে রাখার মতো তথ্য

১A noun is fundamentally a naming word that designates a person, place, thing, substance, or concept.

২English nouns are categorized into five classes: Proper, Common, Collective, Material, and Abstract.

৩A proper noun begins with a capital letter, but when used with an article to signify comparison, it functions as a common noun (e.g., "the Shakespeare of Bangladesh").

৪Some geographic proper nouns ending in -s are plural in form but take singular verb agreement (e.g., "The Maldives is an island country").

৫Material nouns refer to mass substances (solid, liquid, or gas) and are inherently uncountable.

৬Abstract nouns designate qualities, feelings, or states lacking tangible physical existence.

৭Number in English distinguishes between Singular (one) and Plural (more than one) and dictates verb concord.

৮Plural formation follows regular suffixes (-s, -es, -ies, -ves), vowel mutations (foot → feet), and foreign inflections (thesis → theses).

৯English recognizes four genders: Masculine, Feminine, Common (both sexes), and Neuter (inanimate objects).

১০Possessive case is formed with 's for singular nouns, only an apostrophe for regular plural nouns ending in -s, and 's for irregular plurals (e.g., children's).

১১To avoid hissing sounds, words ending in sibilant sounds take only an apostrophe in set idioms (e.g., "for conscience' sake").

১২Apposition literally signifies "placing near"—where an appositive noun sits beside another noun to rename or describe it.

১৩Collective nouns can take a singular or plural verb depending on whether the collection is viewed as a single unit or individuals.

১৪Personified expressions like "Nature's laws" or "Bangladesh's foreign policy" accept possessive 's forms.
