To use them in accordance with the mandated rules of grammar, one must be able to understand the differences between the two. Nouns are simply naming words. They signify various people, places, objects, and ideas. The list of nouns and their varied internal subdivisions is quite lengthy. Different forms of a noun are used for different befitting occasions.
