Types of Noun • There are several types of nouns. • The most common are:
– Proper noun– Common noun– Abstract noun– Concrete noun– Countable noun– Uncountable noun
![Page 5: CHAPTER 1 Parts of Speech By Sabiha Saleem PARTS OF SPEECH The 8 “building blocks” of the English language… The 8 “building blocks” of the English language…](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649f175503460f94c2e0bc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Proper Noun
• Proper nouns name specific persons, places or things.
• The first letter is always capitalized to distinguish them from common nouns.
Example:
• Jonathan is my best friend.
• I want to go to New York.
• I love the Harry Potter series.
![Page 6: CHAPTER 1 Parts of Speech By Sabiha Saleem PARTS OF SPEECH The 8 “building blocks” of the English language… The 8 “building blocks” of the English language…](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649f175503460f94c2e0bc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Common Noun • Common nouns refer to general, unspecific
things, person, or place.
• Whereas New York is a proper noun because
it is a specific state, the word state itself is a common noun because it can refer to any 50 states in the US.
• Tom is a proper noun because it is naming a
specific boy. But the word boy itself is a common noun because a boy could be any boy.

Concrete Noun• Concrete nouns are nouns that can be touched,
smelled, seen, felt, or tasted.
Examples:
• Please pass the salt so I could add it to my soup.
• Your sweater is made of fine wool.
• Can I pet your dog?
• Your car is looking very shiny.

Abstract Noun • Abstract Nouns name concepts, ideas or
emotions.• If you cannot taste, touch, hear, smell or see
something, it is an abstract noun.Examples: • Love is kind and gentle.• His courage saved the day.• Forgiveness is part of life.• I want freedom! • Hate can sometimes be stronger than love.

Countable Noun
• Countable nouns are things that we can count.

• Countable nouns can be singular or plural.
Example:
• My dog is playing.
• My dogs are hungry.

Uncountable Noun
• Things that we cannot count.
• Such as: milk.
• We can say bottles of milk or liters of milk, but we can not say: there are 2 milks here.
• Hence it is uncountable.
