Nouns Worksheet: Why You Need to Learn Them

Grammar has different parts of speech. A noun is one of the parts of speech that describes a person, place or thing.

Examples of nouns

1. Common and proper

Common nouns are general while proper nouns are specific names.
Examples:

• chair-common
• John – proper

2. Singular and plural nouns

A noun that names only one person, place or thing is a singular noun.
Plural nouns describe more than one person, place or thing. They are formed by adding an s, at the end of the noun.
Irregular plural nouns are not made plural by adding -s or -es at the end
Example:

• man – men

Some nouns do not change while in singular and plural
Example:

• deer – deer

3. Possessive

This is a noun that something belongs to someone. We add an apostrophe+s (‘s) at the end of the nouns to make possessive nouns.

4. Countable and non-countable

Countable nouns are nouns that we can count using numbers. Uncountable nouns cannot be counted and are always
singular.
Examples:

• sugar
• milk

5. Collective

They describe a group of things, people, or places.
Example:

• a swarm of bees
• a herd of cows

6. Concrete and abstract

Concrete nouns are things we can feel, touch, hear, and smell. Like a car, an eraser, a sweater.
Abstract nouns are things we cannot feel with our senses.
Example;

• love
• knowledge
