Nouns refer to persons, animals, places, things, ideas, or events, etc. Nouns encompass most of the words of a language.<br /><br />Noun can be a/an - <br /><br />Person – a name for a person: - Max, Julie, Catherine, Michel, Bob, etc.<br />Animal – a name for an animal: - dog, cat, cow, kangaroo, etc.<br /><br /><br />Place – a name for a place: - London, Australia, Canada, Mumbai, etc.<br />Thing – a name for a thing: - bat, ball, chair, door, house, computer, etc.<br />Idea – A name for an idea: - devotion, superstition, happiness, excitement, etc.<br />Examples of Noun in sentence<br /><br />Different Types of Noun:<br />Proper Noun<br />Common Noun<br />Abstract Noun<br />Concrete Noun<br />Countable Noun<br />Non-countable Noun<br />Collective Noun<br />Compound Noun<br />Proper Noun:<br />A proper noun is a name which refers only to a single person, place, or thing and there is no common name for it. In written English, a proper noun always begins with capital letters.<br /><br />Example: Melbourne (it refers to only one particular city), Steve (refers to a particular person),<br /><br />Australia (there is no other country named Australia; this name is fixed for only one country).<br /><br />More Examples of Proper Noun<br /><br />Common Noun:<br />A common noun is a name for something which is common for many things, person, or places. It encompasses a particular type of things, person, or places.<br /><br />Example: Country (it can refer to any country, nothing in particular), city (it can refer to any city like Melbourne, Mumbai, Toronto, etc. but nothing in particular).<br /><br /><br /><br />So, a common noun is a word that indicates a person, place, thing, etc. In general and a proper noun is a specific one of those.<br /><br />More Examples of Common Noun<br /><br />Abstract Noun:<br />An abstract noun is a word for something that cannot be seen but is there. It has no physical existence. Generally, it refers to ideas, qualities, and conditions.<br /><br />Example: Truth, lies, happiness, sorrow, time, friendship, humor, patriotism, etc.<br /><br />Abstract Noun examples in sentences<br /><br />Concrete Noun:<br />A concrete noun is the exact opposite of abstract noun. It refers to the things we see and have physical existence.<br /><br />Example: Chair, table, bat, ball, water, money, sugar, etc.<br /><br />Countable Noun:<br />The nouns that can be counted are called countable nouns. Countable nouns can take an article: a, an, the.<br /><br />Example: Chair, table, bat, ball, etc. (you can say 1 chair, 2 chairs, 3 chairs – so chairs are countable)<br /><br />Countable Noun examples in sentences<br /><br />Non-countable Noun:<br />The nouns that cannot be counted are called non-countable nouns.<br /><br />Example: Water, sugar, oil, salt, etc. (you cannot say “1 water, 2 water, 3 water” because water is not countable)<br /><br /><br /><br />Abstract nouns and proper nouns are always non-countable nouns, but common nouns and concrete nouns can be both count and non-count nouns.<br /><br />Non-countable Noun examples in sentences<br /><br />Collective Noun:<br />A collective noun is a word for a group of things, people, or animals, etc.<br /><br />Example: family, team, jury, cattle, etc.<br /><br />Collective nouns can be both plural and singular. However, Americans prefer to use collective nouns as singular, but both of the uses are correct in other parts of the world.<br /><br />Compound Noun:<br />Sometimes two or three nouns appear together, or even with other parts of speech, and create idiomatic compound nouns. Idiomatic means that those nouns behave as a unit and, to a lesser or greater degree, amount to more than the sum of their parts.<br /><br />Example: six-pack, five-year-old, and son-in-law, snowball, mailbox, etc.<br /><br />Functions of Nouns<br />Nouns can be used as a subject, a direct object, and an indirect object of a verb; as an object of a preposition; and as an adverb or adjective in sentences. Nouns can also show possession.<br /><br />Subject: The company is doing great. Roses are the flowers of love.<br /><br />Direct object: I finally bought a new mobile.<br /><br />Indirect object: Max gave Carol another chocolate.<br /><br />Object of preposition: Roses are the flowers of love.<br /><br />Adverb: The train leaves today.<br /><br />Adjective: The office building faces the mall.<br /><br />Possession: The lion’s cage is dangerous.
