OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I would like to know why isn't marriages a noun? What is arranged? Marriages. It is a 'thing', isn't it ?

I was thinking so, but paki said no.

English is my third language, but I am sure it is a noun.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

It's not an adjective.. adjectives describe.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

it is a noun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a noun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I'd say so, because it is both a "thing" and an "idea".

'idea' is a also a thing, as I understand:)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Noun is a noun, that's how I would put it. Proper noun - America, Kate, John, Kroger a specific name Common noun - table, player, spoon, keyboard, (any object or a person {that is not a name} )
