PARTS OF SPEECH ( Noun and Pronoun)
( NOUN )
(1) NOUN: It is a word which is used to name a place, person, an abstract idea or a thing.
(a) Proper nouns: A proper noun always starts with a capital letter, and it always refers to a specific person, place or thing.
(b) Common nouns: In definition, it is completely opposite to a proper noun: it refers to a place, thing or person in general and
not in a specific sense.
(c) Concrete nouns: These nouns identify things which can be perceived or felt through our senses: touch, sight, taste, hearing
or smell.
(d) Abstract nouns: These nouns can be defined as being contrary to concrete nouns because these do not refer to what can be
experienced through our physical senses.
(e) Countable nouns: These are the nouns which can be counted.
(f) Uncountable nouns: As the name suggests, these are opposites to countable nouns.
(g) Collective nouns: These nouns refer to a group of entities like things, animals or people.
