Answer 2

Answer:

noun is a word that functions as the name of a specific object or set of objects, such as living creatures, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas. However, noun is not a semantic category, so it cannot be characterized in terms of its meaning.

• A common noun is the word used for something. In other words, it is the word that appears in a dictionary.
• A proper noun is the specific name given to a person, place, or thing (e.g., a personal name or a title).
• An abstract noun is something you cannot see or touch (e.g., "bravery," "hate," "joy").
• A concrete noun is something you can see or touch (e.g., "tree," "cloud," "garlic").
• A collective noun is the word used for a group of people or things (e.g., "team," "group," "choir").
• A compound noun is a noun made up of two or more words (e.g., "court-martial," "water bottle," "pickpocket"). Some compound nouns are hyphenated, some are not, and some combine their words to form a single word.
• A gender-specific noun refers to something specifically male (e.g., "man," "boy," "bull") or a female (e.g., "woman," "girl," "vixen").
• All gerunds end "-ing." A gerund is a noun formed from a verb (e.g., running quickly, guessing a number, baking cakes).
• A non-countable noun (or mass noun as it's also known) is a noun without a plural form (e.g., "food," "music," "ice").
• A countable noun is a noun that can be pluralized (e.g., "cat/cats," "argument/arguments," "device/devices").
• A verbal noun is a noun that has no verb-like properties despite being derived from a verb (e.g., a building, an attack, a decision).
