    NOUNS

    A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Examples

    Nouns are classified in:

    COMMON NOUNS
    A common noun is a name given in common to every person or thing of the
    same class of kind.

    These common nouns are words for people who do certain things.

    PROPER NOUNS
    A proper noun is the name of some particular person, place, thing, particular
    event, or group. This proper noun begins with a capital letter. If the noun is
    nonspecific, that is, the noun refers to a general idea and not a specific
    person, place, or thing, it is usually not a proper noun, so it it not capitalized .

    These peoples names are proper nouns.

    The names of the days of the week and the months of the year are

    proper nouns.

    The names of special days and celebrations are also proper nouns.

    The names of famous places, buildings and monuments are proper


    nouns.

    The names of people who live in a particular country are also proper nouns.

    COLLECTIVE NOUNS
    1)

    A collective noun is a name of a number (collection) of persons or


    things taken together and spoken of as one whole as: Crowd, mob,

    team, flock, herd, army, fleet, jury, family, nation, parliament,


    committee.
    2) Nouns that refer to a specific group of persons or things are called
    Collective Nouns.
    These are nouns for groups of people. Here are some collective nouns for

    groups of people.
    Many collective nouns can be used with a singular or plural verb.

    The crowd was orderly.


    The people were clapping, yelling and cheering.

    Here are more collective nouns we can use for groups of people.

    ABSTRACT NOUN
    An abstract noun is usually the name of a feelings, ideas, action, state and
    characteristics, or qualities considered apart from the object to which it
    belongs as.[2]
    Most abstract nouns end with these suffixes:

    be felt by our sense. The abstract noun is not visible.

    mind. The names of the subject of study (e.g. grammar, music, chemistry,
    etc.) are also Abstract Nouns.

    (countables) are the names of objects, people, etc. that we can count. And
    they have their own singular and plural forms.

    oil, sugar, gold, honesty.[3]
