Letters are different from words because they’re not just used to communicate with others (letters) but also to communicate with oneself (words). As humans we live in both the physical and psychological worlds, so we need an outlet for our thoughts and emotions by way of words.
It could be argued that without words human beings have no identity or history; without language human beings would be nothing more than animals. This article is going to look at nouns that start with e.

Conclusion
Words are truly a form of communication, speech is communication that happens through the movement of the vocal organs and words are not just part of speech but they are also symbolic. Nouns are an important part of language and without them we would have no language or history. Because words relate to things (nouns) they must be used with care in order to be able to use them effectively. Nouns are very important because they make up a significant part of English grammar and they have many meanings.
