What are nouns in made of

Nouns are not made of physical things like wood or metal. They are concepts or ideas that represent things in the real world. Here's a breakdown of what makes up a noun:

* Meaning: A noun has a specific meaning that helps us understand what it represents. For example, the noun "cat" refers to a furry, four-legged animal.

* Form: Nouns often have specific forms (like endings) that help us identify them as nouns in a sentence. For instance, many nouns in English end in "-ness" (happiness, sadness), "-tion" (information, education), or "-er" (teacher, player).

* Function: Nouns usually act as the subject or object of a verb in a sentence. For example:

* Subject: *The cat* sat on the mat.

* Object: I saw *the cat*.

So, instead of being made of physical material, nouns are made of:

* Meaning: What they represent

* Form: How they are written or spoken

* Function: How they behave in a sentence
