Types of Nouns
| Type | Definition | Examples | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common Noun | Names a non-specific person, place, or thing. Common nouns are never capitalized. More abstract ideas can also be common nouns, like thoughts, ideas, and concepts. |  |  |  |
| Proper Noun | Proper nouns give a specific name to a common noun, and therefore are ALWAYS CAPITALIZED. |  |  |  |
| Collective Noun | Collective nouns represent a group or collection of things, like a jar or a bar or a loaf. |  |  |  |
| Compound Noun | Compound nouns are simply nouns made by joining two or more words to make a new word. They’re often descriptive of what the item’s purpose is, but sometimes make no sense! |  |  |  |
| Concrete Noun | When you use your five senses, you are most likely experiencing a concrete noun. If you can see, hear, smell, taste, or touch it, it’s a concrete noun. |  |  |  |
| Abstract Noun | Abstract nouns are those that name feelings, ideas, concepts, or characteristics that cannot be felt with your senses. |  |  |  |
| Countable Noun | Countable nouns are those that you can actually count. If you can put an article in front of the noun, such as a, an, or the, then it is countable. |  |  |  |
| Uncountable Noun | Uncountable nouns are things you cannot quantify, like feelings or emotions or abstract concepts. In general, you can divide these into mass and abstract. |  |  |  |
