two main kinds of words | nouns (or the pronoun that means it) and verbs |

Proper nouns | like England and Jane - are capitalized |
Common nouns | like country, person, and sandwich, are not capitalized |
singular noun | a noun naming one thing like tree |
plural noun | a noun naming more than one thing, like trees |
pronouns | quick words we use, when we do not want to repeat a whole long noun. Instead of saying Samuel Langhorn Clemens (Mark Twain) we can just say he. Pronouns make language FAST! Pronoun means "for the noun." It is a quick short cut sound to name the noun. |
the possessive its | has no apostrophe. The word it's is a contraction that means it is. Its a good idea to know its name. |

domino | lord |
