There are several types of nouns in phrases, which are:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Common nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are words that refer to general or unclear places, people, or things. For example, the word \u201ccountry\u201d is a common word that can refer to many places. While \u201cSpain\u201d is not a common noun as it points out a specific place.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of common nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>girl, boy, dog, cat, house, etc.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Proper nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are words that help distinguish a specific place, person, or thing. They should always be capitalized because they are mostly names or titles of things.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of proper nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Starbucks, David (or any personal name), France, Grand Canyon, etc.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Singular nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are the words that refer to one place, person, or thing. For example, <em>a banana<\/em> is one fruit, and <em>a dog<\/em> is one animal.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of singular nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>foot, house, shoe, blouse, etc.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Plural nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are words that refer to multiple things or people. If there are too many of the singular nouns, you add an S to the end of the word to make them plural (e.g., cats, dogs). The nouns that already end with an S, you need to add -es to switch to plural (e.g., buses). Also, there are a few words that don\u2019t follow the same pattern, which we call <strong>irregular nouns, <\/strong>such as person = people, life = lives, tuna = tuna, foot = feet.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of plural nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>countries, doors, shoes, houses, babies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Concrete nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are words that can be understood through our five senses. If you can hear, smell, see, taste, or touch something, then it can be used as a concrete noun.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of concrete nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>apple, table, rabbit, ear.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Abstract nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are words that explain ideas that can\u2019t be perceived with our five senses, like character traits and social concepts. For example, anger is a word that describes an emotion that we can\u2019t physically touch, see, hear, smell, or taste.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of abstract nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>love, democracy, creativity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Collective nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are words that work as a singular noun but referring to a group of things or people. It describes a group that works as a unit!<\/p>\n<p>Examples of collective nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>crowd, team, committee, flocks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Compound nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are words that combine up to two or more words into one. They can be a single word, multiple words used separately, or connected by hyphens.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of compound nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>toothpaste, haircut, potato chip, dry-cleaning, ice cream.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Countable nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are words that you can count. When you have two <em>books<\/em>, you are describing a noun that can be counted.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of countable nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>apple, chair, window, frame.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Uncountable nouns <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are words that cannot be counted, and they are also known as mass nouns. For example, you can\u2019t count love or happiness. We can\u2019t say we have two happiness or five loves. These words don\u2019t have plural forms.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of uncountable nouns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>advice, salt, luggage, hate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-63950\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699.jpg\" alt=\"boy writing and studying\" width=\"700\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699-200x63.jpg 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699-400x126.jpg 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699-600x189.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699-768x242.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699-800x252.jpg 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699-1024x322.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699-1200x378.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/nouns-in-english-e1634723695699.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-6652-_w1yxij8ixdxc\"><\/a>What Is The Difference Between Proper And Common Nouns?<\/h2>\n<p>The difference between a <strong>proper noun<\/strong> and a <strong>common noun<\/strong> is what exactly they are referring to. The proper noun is known to be referring to a specific person, place, or thing. For Example, Europe is a proper noun. Also, they always need to be capitalized.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, common nouns refer to more generic things. For example, a country is too general and non-specific. Plus, common nouns don\u2019t have to be capitalized unless they come in the beginning of a sentence.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Examples of proper nouns: <\/strong>Spain, Julia, Playstation, Samsung, November.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Examples of common nouns:<\/strong> place, idea, person, woman, guitar, judge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"post-6652-_pewrnng6b5ly\"><\/a>Countable and Uncountable Nouns<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing how countable and uncountable nouns will make a big difference in your English skills.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-6652-_lasucjsyccbj\"><\/a>What are uncountable nouns?<\/h3>\n<p>\ud83e\udc72 Uncountable nouns include liquid or solid substances, materials and commodities (water, leather, gold, information) and abstract ideas (productivity, happiness).

This subject can be a place, thing, or person that is being or doing the verb mentioned in the sentence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Karla is happy. Karla is the subject.<\/li>\n<li>Italy is beautiful. Italy is the subject.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><a id=\"post-6652-_l2c0prpqizgg\"><\/a>Nouns as objects<\/h3>\n<p>The objects of a verb in any English sentence can also be nouns. They can be a direct object or indirect object.<\/p>\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Give the food to them. <em>Food <\/em>is the direct object while <em>them <\/em>is the indirect object.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><a id=\"post-6652-_m4h8zetjy9k1\"><\/a>Nouns as subject and object complements<\/h3>\n<p>Nouns can also be used as a <strong>subject complement <\/strong>or an<strong> object complement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The subject complement normally follows linking verbs, including to be, seem, and become.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example: <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Eve is a doctor. The underlined word is a subject complement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On the other hand, object complements usually follow verbs like naming, making, or creating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Never add an S at the end of the word, even if you are talking about a group of things, places, or people. For example:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>There is a lot of <s>waters <\/s>water here.<\/li>\n<li>I have so much <s>loves <\/s>love for her.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><a id=\"post-6652-_ncgi48ur5ww3\"><\/a>Rule #2<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few nouns that can be used as both singular and plural forms. The following verb is the only indicator of its form. For example, the deer was\/were running. The sheep is\/are sleeping.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-6652-_nvk0zoforfao\"><\/a>Rule #3<\/h3>\n<p>Some of the nouns that end with S or ES should be used with a singular verb. For example, Mathematics is not easy. Politics is not my specialty.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-6652-_5tj7qik5gutw\"><\/a>Rule #4<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few nouns that are mostly used in the plural form only with plural verbs. For example, scissors, scales, and jeans.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>My spectacles were very expensive.<\/li>\n<li>Your scissors are better than mine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><a id=\"post-6652-_nbsy1y17qts6\"><\/a>Rule #5<\/h3>\n<p>When it is a number + noun form, the compound noun is used in the singular form.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Ten-year-old son.<\/li>\n<li>Five-mile race.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Learn How To Use Nouns Online Thanks To GlobalEXam<\/h2>\n<p>Since nouns are necessary in every English phrase, it\u2019s important to understand the rules and learn each type by heart.
