answer:
Definition. Noun is the name given to a thing, person, object (animate or inanimate) or feeling : e.g.,
Ram, man, dog, book, tree, light, love etc.
Kinds of Noun :
Noun can be of two kinds :
A. Countable nouns like book, man etc.
B. Uncountable nouns like light, bread etc.
(a) An uncountable noun is sometimes used as countable noun.
Three teas, please.
Here ‘three teas’ means three cups of tea.
There were dozens of ice-creams.
It means there were dozens of kinds of ice-cream.
Compare :
She has curly hair.
There is a hair in my soup.
(b) Some nouns have different meanings when they are used countably and when used uncountably.
Glass is fragile.
Give me a glass of water.
This is a three-room-house.
There is no room for dishonesty in this company.
(c) Collective nouns such as a group, a crowd, a herd, a team etc are singular.
However, if we think of the members individually, a plural verb may be used.
Compare :
A flock of sheep was grazing.
A flock of sheep were straying all over the road causing confusion in the traffic. In the first sentence the speaker is thinking of the sheep as a group.
In the second sentence, he has different sheep—some straying in one direction and some in the other. So we use a plural verb there.
(d) Some nouns have a plural form but are always treated as singular.
