A Noun names a person, place, or thing. Singular nouns have no s at the end. Plural nouns have an s at the end.
A complete sentence tells a whole idea. An example is: My puppy naps. An incomplete sentence is missing information. An example is: My puppy.
A Naming Part of a sentence tells who or what. Example: Two frogs
