Nouns of Various Types
There are a number of different types of nouns, and some of them overlap. There are common and proper nouns, as well as concrete and abstract nouns; however, some nouns are both concrete and common, as well as concrete and proper. As you read on, it will become clear.
The words that refer to the most general things are called common nouns: a country setting, an evening of laughter, a puppy, and an umbrella
The examples of common nouns in the following sentences are bolded for easy identification.
Sam loves the weekends in the country.
We enjoy swimming after breakfast.
The cup fell and broke.
Proper nouns are names that identify someone or something, such as a person or a location. Capitalization is used for proper nouns. Jesse is a proper noun because it refers to a single, unique instance of a thing, Jesse.
Delia, Dawn, Aunt Audrey, Honda, and Philadelphia are examples of proper nouns.
The examples of proper nouns in the following sentences are bolded for easy identification.
In Paris, Emily enjoyed spending time with her Aunt Nancy.
Buick and Dodge are two well-known automobile manufacturers.
We went to Lake Erie, which is the border between the US and Canada.
Concrete nouns refer to something that is real and tangible: pig, person, rock, smell, air, soup, Larry, and so on.
Examples of concrete nouns include a cup, a computer, a diamond, a rollercoaster, shampoo, and Debby.
The examples of concrete nouns in the following sentences are bolded for easy identification.
The person threw the rock across the yard.
Oreo, My Dog, leapt into the air and caught the ball!
John, can you smell the soup?
A concept or idea is represented by an abstract noun: love, integrity, democracy, friendship, beauty, and knowledge are examples of abstract nouns.
The examples of abstract nouns in the following sentences are bolded for easy identification.
Love and friendship are both essential.
The beholder is the judge of beauty.
Your mind is capable of knowing an infinite number of things.
Collective nouns refer to a group of people or things: audience, team, bunch, family, class. When speaking of collective nouns, Americans consider them as singular, using singular verbs with them, such as the group dances happily. When speaking British English, both singular verbs and plural verbs might be used, as in the group dance crazily before the Queen.
Collective noun examples: government, jury, team, bunch, school, class, and room (the people in the room or building)
The team threw confetti when it was over.
Steve buys the band some sandwiches.
Meredith told the class she was getting married.
As previously stated, some nouns can be classified as belonging to more than one category when discussing noun categories. Some nouns are concrete and countable, such as raindrops and wedding rings, while others, such as the Atlantic Ocean and Alaska, are proper and uncountable.
