A noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing, and abstract idea. Nouns are usually the first words which small children learn. What is a noun?

Late last year our neighbours bought a goat. Portia White was a singer. The bus inspector looked at all the passengers' passes. According to Plutarch, the library at Alexandria was destroyed in 48 B.C. Philosophy is of little comfort to the starving Examples of noun.

A noun can function in a sentence as a subject, a direct object, an indirect object, a subject complement, an object complement, an appositive, an adjective or an adverb. The Functions of Nouns

Proper Nouns Common Nouns Concrete Nouns Abstract Nouns Countable Nouns Non-countable Nouns Collective Nouns Types of Nouns

You always write a proper noun with a capital letter, since the noun represents the name of a specific person, place, or thing. The names of days of the week, months, historical documents, institutions, organisations, religions, their holy texts and their adherents are proper nouns. A proper noun is the opposite of a common noun Example: The Marroons were transported from Jamaica and forced to build the fortifications in Halifax. Proper Nouns

A common noun is a noun referring to a person, place, or thing in a general sense -- usually, you should write it with a capital letter only when it begins a sentence. A common noun is the opposite of a proper noun. Example: All the gardens in the neighbourhood were invaded by beetles this summer. Common Nouns

A concrete noun is a noun which names anything (or anyone) that you can perceive through your physical senses: touch, sight, taste, hearing, or smell. A concrete noun is the opposite of a abstract noun. Example: The judge handed the files to the clerk. Concrete Nouns

An abstract noun is a noun which names anything which you can not perceive through your five physical senses, and is the opposite of a concrete noun. The highlighted words in the following sentences are all abstract nouns: Example: Buying the fire extinguisher was an afterthought. Abstract Nouns

A countable noun (or count noun) is a noun with both a singular and a plural form, and it names anything (or anyone) that you can count. You can make a countable noun plural and attach it to a plural verb in a sentence. Countable nouns are the opposite of non-countable nouns and collective nouns. Example: We painted the table red and the chairs blue. Countable Nouns

A non-countable noun is a noun which does not have a plural form, and which refers to something that you could (or would) not usually count. A non-countable noun always takes a singular verb in a sentence. Non-countable nouns are similar to collective nouns, and are the opposite of countable nouns. Example: Joseph Priestly discovered oxygen. Notes: The word "oxygen" cannot normally be made plural. Since "oxygen" is a non-countable noun, it takes the singular verb "is" rather than the plural verb "are." Non-Countable Nouns

A collective noun is a noun naming a group of things, animals, or persons. You could count the individual members of the group, but you usually think of the group as a whole is generally as one unit. You need to be able to recognise collective nouns in order to maintain subject-verb agreement. A collective noun is similar to a non-countable noun, and is roughly the opposite of a countable noun. Collective Nouns

Example: The flock of geese spends most of its time in the pasture. Notes: The collective noun "flock" takes the singular verb "spends.".
