A simple sentence contains at least one noun and one verb.
*A noun is the main idea of the sentence and the verb is the action or what the
noun did.
Example sentence: The dog ran.
Dog is a noun or the central thing.
Ran is a verb or the action the noun did.
There are two types of nouns. Common nouns and Proper nouns.

*Proper nouns are exact people, exact places, or exact things that are
specific and could only be that one.

dogs that may be in the neighborhood, whereas the noun dog could be
any dog on the street.
