Noun
is the name of a person, animal,
place, thing or idea. Nouns are
also known as naming words.
Kinds of Nouns
Nouns are divided into 2 main groups:
1. Common noun – is the general name of a
person, place, thing or idea.
Ex. teacher, church, shoe, justice
2. Proper noun – is the specific name of a person,
place, thing, or an event. It always starts with
a capital letter.
Ex. Mrs. Liza Santos, Luneta Park, Nike, Christmas
Common nouns can be
classified into count
nouns and non-count
nouns.
Nouns
Count nouns and non-count nouns
Count nouns (countable nouns) – are nouns that can
be counted. They have singular and plural forms. A
singular count noun must have a determiner like an,
this or my.
Ex. Singular: that teacher, an umbrella
Plural: two books, four jackets, six ladies
Non-count nouns (uncountable or mass nouns) –
are nouns that are not countable. They are always
singular in form. Some quantifiers like pieces of or a bit
of can be used with this classification of noun.
Ex. water, a lot of information
Common nouns can also be
classified into concrete nouns
and abstract nouns.

by the five senses. These are the things that we
can see, hear, smell, taste and touch.

Abstract nouns – opposite of concrete. They cannot
be perceived by the five senses . They do not
physically exist.
