5. What is a noun in a sentence? Nouns are commonly defined as people, places, or things. They address the "who" or "what" of a sentence. The most reliable sign that a given word is a noun is if it follows an article like "the" or "a." •Examples: The world is round. I saw a vampire last night. Nouns can also follow possessives or numbers.

6. What are the different kinds of nouns? Proper Noun Collective Noun Common Noun Material Noun Abstract Noun Countable Noun Uncountable Noun Concrete Noun.

7. Proper Noun A proper noun is the name of a particular person, place, organization, or thing. Proper nouns begin with a capital letter.

8. Collective Noun A collective noun is a noun that refers to some sort of group or collective—of people, animals, things, etc. Collective nouns are normally not treated as plural, even though they refer to a group of something. Collective nouns include common nouns like “group” and proper nouns like “Google” or “The Rolling Stones.”

9. Common Noun A common noun is a non-specific person, place, or thing. For example, dog, girl, and country are examples of common nouns. In contrast, proper nouns name a specific person, place, or thing. Common nouns are typically not capitalized, but there are two exceptions to this rule.

10. Material Noun A material noun is a type of noun that refers to physical matter. It can be either countable or uncountable.

11. Abstract Noun An abstract noun is a noun that refers to something non-physical—something conceptual that you can't perceive directly with your senses.

12. Countable Noun A countable noun, also called a count noun, is “a noun that typically refers to a countable thing and that in English can be used in both the singular and the plural and can be preceded by the indefinite article a or an or by a number.”

13. Uncountable Noun Uncountable nouns do not have a distinction between singular and plural and cannot be counted because they cannot be easily divided.

14. Concrete Noun A concrete noun is a noun that refers to a physical thing, person, or place—something or someone that can be perceived with the five senses (touch, hearing, sight, smell, and taste).
