 Noun - A noun is a word used for a place, person, or thing.

Everything which has a


name and we talk about it is a noun. Everything is donated by a name and that naming
word is called a “noun”. Example: They brightly decorated the wooden house for the
holiday.
Types of Noun:
 Proper noun - is the given name of a person, or a specific place or thing, i.e. its own
name (e.g., Imran, Karachi, and Rover). A proper noun always starts with a capital letter.
 Common noun - is the word used for a class of person, place, or thing (e.g., person, city,
and dog). Common nouns are not capitalized unless used at the start of a sentence.
 Concrete nouns - are the things which we can see or touch physically. These nouns
contrast with the abstract category of nouns.
 Abstract noun - are things you cannot see or touch. Abstract nouns do not have physical
existence. Abilities and emotions are abstract nouns e.g. bravery, joy, determination etc.
 Collective noun - are words that denote groups’ collection or multitude of something.
These nouns are used as singular.
 Compound nouns - are nouns made up of more than one word. For example: court-
martial, pickpocket, water bottle. Some compound nouns are two words (e.g., peace
pipe), some are hyphenated (e.g., play-off), and some have become single words (e.g.,
eyeopener).
 Countable noun - is a noun that can be counted in numbers like one pen, two cars with
both a singular and a plural form.
