Types of noun

There are several different types of noun, as follows:

Common noun
A common noun is a noun that refers to people or things in general, e.g. boy, country,
bridge, city, birth, day, happiness.
Proper noun
A proper noun is a name that identifies a particular person, place, or thing, e.g. Steven,
Africa, London, Monday. In written English, proper nouns begin with capital letters.
Concrete noun
A concrete noun is a noun which refers to people and to things that exist physically and
can be seen, touched, smelled, heard, or tasted. Examples include dog, building,
coffee, tree, rain, beach, tune.
Abstract noun
An abstract noun is a noun which refers to ideas, qualities, and conditions - things that
cannot be seen or touched and things which have no physical reality, e.g. truth, danger,
happiness, time, friendship, humour.
Collective nouns
Collective nouns refer to groups of people or things, e.g. audience, family, government,
team, jury. In American English, most collective nouns are treated as singular, with a
singular verb:
The whole family was at the table.
In British English, the preceding sentence would be correct, but it would also be correct
to treat the collective noun as a plural, with a plural verb:

The whole family were at the table.

For more information about this, see matching verbs to collective nouns.
A noun may belong to more than one category. For example, happiness is both a
common noun and an abstract noun, while Mount Everest is both a concrete noun and
a proper noun.
Count and mass nouns
Nouns can be either countable or uncountable. Countable nouns (or count nouns)
are those that refer to something that can be counted. Uncountable nouns (or mass
nouns) do not typically refer to things that can be counted and so they do not regularly
have a plural form.

What Is a Pronoun?

Pronouns make up a small subcategory of nouns. The distinguishing

characteristic of pronouns is that they can be substituted for other nouns. For
instance, if you’re telling a story about your sister Sarah, the story will begin to
sound repetitive if you keep repeating “Sarah” over and over again.

Sarah has always loved fashion. Sarah announced that Sarah wants to go to fashion school.

You could try to mix it up by sometimes referring to Sarah as “my sister,” but
then it sounds like you’re referring to two different people.

Sarah has always loved fashion. My sister announced that Sarah wants to go to fashion
school.

Instead, you can use the pronouns she and her to refer to Sarah.

Sarah has always loved fashion. She announced that she wants to go to fashion school.

What Are Adjectives?

Adjectives are words that describe the qualities or states of being of

nouns: enormous, doglike, silly, yellow, fun, fast. They can also describe the
quantity of nouns: many, few, millions, eleven.

Adjectives Modify Nouns

Most students learn that adjectives are words that modify (describe) nouns.
Adjectives do not modify verbs or adverbs or other adjectives.

Margot wore a beautiful hat to the pie-eating contest.

Furry dogs may overheat in the summertime.

My cake should have sixteen candles.

The scariest villain of all time is Darth Vader.

plural, its verb must also be plural.
