A noun is typically referred to as a person, place, or thing. It can be plural, possessive, proper, or a pronoun. Examples of these are 'girl,' which is a non-descript female, 'girls,' which refers to multiple non-descript females, 'girl's,' which means the girl owns or is possession of something. 'Sarah,' would be a proper noun, because it is a girl's name, and the word 'she' is considered a pronoun.

Adjectives are words that can be used to describe something, usually a noun: that girl is happy. Happy would be the adjective describing the noun (girl.) Finally, adverbs are words that describe how something is done and usually end in the letters 'ly.' One exception to this rule is the word 'well.' When someone asks HOW you are doing, the grammatically correct answer would be, 'well.'
