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.

Determiners (beginner level)

A noun usually needs a determiner in English: "I have a pen" (not "I have pen"). Two determiners of the same kind cannot combine: "my this book" is wrong.
