11 types of noun and how to tell them apart
1.
11 TYPES OF
NOUN
2.
Nouns are words
which name people, places, things or ideas
3.
All of these
words are nouns:
4.
sunlight, John, cat,
Mexico, trust
5.
We can classify
nouns in different ways…
6.
1. CONCRETE NOUNS 2.
ABSTRACT NOUNS
7.
We can see,
hear, taste, smell or touch the things that CONCRETE nouns represent, for example:
8.
apple, friend, Sydney
Opera House
9.
We can’t see,
hear, taste, smell or touch the things that ABSTRACT nouns represent:
10.
trust, knowledge, progress
11.
3. PROPER NOUNS 4.
CONCRETE NOUNS
12.
PROPER nouns refer
to a specific person, place or thing. They start with a CAPITAL letter…
13.
Mark has a
friend called John. They live in a house in London.
14.
COMMON nouns don’t
refer to a specific person, place or thing…
15.
Mark has a
friend called John. They live in a house in London.
16.
5. SINGULAR NOUNS 6.
PLURAL NOUNS
17.
Nouns can be
SINGULAR (only one)…
18.
The baby held
up one foot and one hand.
19.
…or PLURAL(more than
one)
20.
Babies have two
feet and two hands.
21.
We usually add
"s" to a singular noun to make it PLURAL:
22.
hand - hands
23.
But some nouns
follow different rules, for example:
24.
baby – babies,
foot – feet, wolf – wolves, mouse - mice
25.
7. COUNTABLE NOUNS 8.
NON-COUNTABLE NOUNS
26.
We can count
some nouns…
27.
1 apple 2 apples 3
apples
28.
…but there are
some nouns we can’t count
29.
1 water 2 waters 3
waters
30.
We’d have to
put water into glasses (or drops) to count it
31.
1 glass of
water 2 glasses of water 3 glasses of water
32.
That’s why countable
nouns can be singular or plural…
33.
apple 2 apples
34.
…but non-countable nouns
can’t be made plural
35.
water 2 waters
36.
9. POSSESSIVE FORMS OF
NOUNS
37.
We use the
POSSESSIVE form of a noun to show that it "owns" something
38.
This is my
daughter’s dog
39.
The children’s dinner
is cold
40.
The birds’ nest
is in the tree
41.
10. COLLECTIVE NOUNS
42.
COLLECTIVE nouns talk
about a group of people or things made up of individual parts
43.
The team was playing
well
44.
The audience is clapping
45.
Collective nouns are
singular if the individual parts are acting together… The team was playing well
46.
…and plural if
they are acting individually. The team got in their cars.
47.
11. COMPOUND NOUNS
48.
We can stick
two words together to make a COMPOUND noun
49.
football, tablecloth
50.
city-state, tractor-trailer
51.
rocking chair, container
ship
52.
