๐ทNoun: Definition & Types๐ท
Nouns refer to persons, animals, places, things, ideas, or events, etc. Nouns encompass most of the words of a language.
๐นNoun can be a/an -
โPerson โ a name for a person: - Amit, Sumit, Raju, Ruchi, Neha, etc.
โAnimal โ a name for an animal: - Dog, Cat, Rat, Horse, etc.
โPlace โ a name for a place: - Mumbai, Delhi, Patna etc.
โThing โ a name for a thing: - Pen, Pencil, Rubber, Computer, Table etc.
โIdea โ A name for an idea: - devotion, superstition, happiness, excitement, etc.
๐นDifferent Types of Noun:
๐Proper 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: Mumbai (it refers to only one particular city), Amit (refers to a particular person)
๐Common 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 Delhi, Mumbai, etc. but nothing in particular).
๐Abstract 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.
๐Concrete Noun:
A concrete noun is the exact opposite of abstract noun. It refers to the things we see and have physical existence.
Example: Chair, table, bat, ball, water, money, sugar, etc.
๐Countable 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 โ so chairs are countable)
๐Non-countable Noun:
The nouns that cannot be counted are called non-countable nouns.
Example: Water, sugar, oil, salt, etc. (you cannot say โ1 water, 2 water, 3 waterโ because water is not countable)
๐Collective Noun:
A collective noun is a word for a group of things, people, or animals, etc.
Example: family, team, jury, cattle, etc.
๐Compound 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.
โAbstract nouns and proper nouns are always non-countable nouns, but common nouns and concrete nouns can be both count and non-count nouns.
โCollective 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.
