Using this noun in a sentence

• Nouns name a person, place, thing or idea. Countable nouns take a determiner and have a plural: one book, two books.
• A common noun is lowercase unless it begins a sentence; a proper noun is always capitalised.
• English normally puts the determiner before the noun — a big idea, the same rule, my old bag — so build the frame around the word before you fill in the verb.
