Nouns

Not all nouns name things you can touch or see. For instance consider these words (which are not on the spelling list): 


	mind		belief		conscience

	preference	peace		wind
These are things we know exist, but which are not physical objects. For instance, someone may believe that they are a great athlete, and so they have a belief about themselves. This belief cannot be felt or seen (although it can be explained).

Three of these examples are used in sentences below: 


	Jill finally made up her mind.

	Joe's belief in ghosts made him scared of the dark.

	His conscience made him feel bad about what he did.
