Types of Nouns

Hello children :) In this post, I will be discussing on the types of nouns. Please read the information to understand about the types of nouns. 


There are five types of nouns:

a) common nouns

- A common noun is used for a class of person, place, or thing (examples: boy, cat, lake, bridge)

Examples of common nouns

b) singular nouns

- When we are talking about just one person, animal, place or thing, we use a singular countable noun.

Here are some countable nouns that are in the singular.

cook	comb
bird	map
stadium	graph
train	ladder

c) plural nouns

- When we are talking about two or more people, animals, places or things, we have to make the countable nouns plural.

d) countable nouns

- Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count. For example: "pen". We can count pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here are some more countable nouns:

• dog, cat, animal, man, person
• bottle, box, litre
• coin, note, dollar
• cup, plate, fork
• table, chair, suitcase, bag

e) uncountable nouns

- Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot count "milk" itself. Here are some more uncountable nouns:

• music, art, love, happiness
• advice, information, news
• furniture, luggage
• rice, sugar, butter, water
• electricity, gas, power
• money, currency
