What are Nouns?

Nouns are the building blocks of sentences. They name people, places, things, ideas, or feelings. In other words, they are the words that answer the question “who” or “what.”

Types of Nouns

There are different types of nouns, each with its own specific function:

• Common Nouns: These are general names for things, such as book, table, or dog.
  • Example: I wrote a story in my notebook (common noun).

  • Example: John visited New York City and saw the Eiffel Tower (proper nouns).
• Concrete Nouns: These are names of things that we can perceive with our senses, such as apple, flower, or music.
  • Example: The apple was red and juicy (concrete noun).
• Abstract Nouns: These are names of things that we cannot perceive with our senses, such as love, happiness, or freedom.
  • Example: She felt a surge of happiness (abstract noun).
• Singular Nouns: These refer to one person, place, or thing.
  • Example: The cat is sleeping on the rug (singular noun).
