Teachenstein wants to teach "Nouns"!

What is NOUN?

Urmmmm......it is a word! Yes! A word used to name a person, animal, place, thing, and abstract idea. Teacher is an example of noun.

Types of NOUNS.

There are seven of them. Yihaaa!! SEVEN is my lucky number!

Teachenstein remembers all of them:

1) Proper Nouns

2) Common Nouns

3) Concrete Nouns

4) Abstract Nouns

5) Countable Nouns

6) Non-Countable Nouns

7) Collective Nouns

Definition of each type of noun.

1) Proper Nouns 

Proper Noun is words used to name specific things such as places and people. Usually people write the word with a capital letter such as Pennsylvania, Kuala Lumpur and Teachenstein. Remember Teachenstein is a proper noun!

2) Common Nouns

Common nouns are the words that we used to generalize things such as people, cars, birds and houses.  

3) Concrete Nouns

Concrete noun is a noun which names anything (or anyone) that you can perceive through your physical senses: touch, sight, taste, hearing, or smell such as beach, dog and waves.

4) Abstract Nouns

An abstract noun is a noun which names anything which you can not perceive through your five physical senses, and is the opposite of a concrete noun. The examples are justice and childhood.

5) Countable Nouns

Countable noun is noun which has both singular and plural forms. It is for something that we can count! Cars, fingers and cats are the example.

6) Non-countable Noun

Opposite from countable noun, this noun is uncountable and it does not have the plural form such as sugar, oil, furniture and money. 

7) Collective Nouns

A collective noun is a noun naming a group of things, animals, or persons. You could count the individual members of the group, but you usually think of the group as a whole is generally as one unit such as a school of fish, a flock of birds and a group of people.
