$\mathbb{\purple{more \: to \: know \: about \: types \: of \: noun}}$

$\mathbb{\pink{proper \: noun}}$

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.

• Example: Melbourne (it refers to only one particular city), Steve (refers to a particular person),
• Australia (there is no other country named Australia; this name is fixed for only one country).

$\mathbb{\blue{common \: noun}}$

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.

• 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).

$\mathbb{\pink{abstract \: noun}}$

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.

• Example: Truth, lies, happiness, sorrow, time, friendship, humor, patriotism, etc.

$\mathbb{\blue{countable \: noun}}$

The nouns that can be counted are called countable nouns. Countable nouns can take an article: a, an, the.

• Example: Chair, table, bat, ball, etc. (you can say 1 chair, 2 chairs, 3 chairs – so chairs are countable)

$\mathbb{\pink{non \: countable \: noun}}$

The nouns that cannot be counted are called non-countable nouns.

• Example: Water, sugar, oil, salt, etc. (you cannot say “1 water, 2 water, 3 water” because water is not countable)

$\mathbb{\blue{collective \: noun}}$

A collective noun is a word for a group of things, people, or animals, etc.

• Example: family, team, jury, cattle, etc.

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.

$\mathbb{\pink{compound \: noun}}$

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.

• Example: six-pack, five-year-old, and son-in-law, snowball, mailbox, etc.
