Grammar has different parts of speech. A noun<\/strong> is one of the parts of speech that describes a person, place or thing.<\/p>\n

Examples of nouns<\/h2>\n

1. Common and proper<\/h4>\n

Common nouns are general while proper nouns are specific names.
\nExamples:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • chair-common<\/li>\n
  • John – proper <\/sub><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. Singular and plural nouns<\/h4>\n

    A noun that names only one person, place or thing is a singular noun.
    \nPlural nouns describe more than one person, place or thing. They are formed by adding an s, at the end of the noun.
    \nIrregular plural nouns are not made plural by adding -s or -es at the end
    \nExample:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • man – men<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Some nouns do not change while in singular and plural
      \nExample:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • deer – deer<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        3. Possessive <\/strong><\/h4>\n

        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.<\/p>\n

        4. Countable and non-countable<\/h4>\n

        Countable nouns are nouns that we can count using numbers. Uncountable nouns cannot be counted and are always
        \nsingular.
        \nExamples:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • sugar<\/em><\/li>\n
        • milk<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          5. Collective <\/strong><\/h4>\n
