A noun acts as a subject or an object in any sentence, and thus it assumes great significance in grammar. When a noun plays the role of a subject, its verb has to be selected carefully. A noun needs to agree with its verb to keep the sentence grammatically consistent. There are certain nouns which do not have plural forms, such as furniture, aircraft, information, etc., and then there are many which are always treated as plural like pants, scissors, glasses, etc. Besides, there are collective nouns which can be singular or plural depending on the context. Nouns such as pilot, doctor, athlete, etc., which are gender neutral, pose problems as we sometimes don’t know whether to say man doctors or men doctors, woman athletes or women athletes. Apostrophe too is another area of concern with nouns. When there is more than one noun in a sentence, there is always a dilemma whether to use an apostrophe with all nouns or just one to show possession. There are many more doubts which lead to grammatical mistakes.
