A common noun is any noun that refers to person, place or thing in general, not to a specific person, place or thing. Common nouns are not capitalized. Examples would include "mountain," "street," "house."

A proper noun is one that refers to a specific person place or thing. Proper nouns are capitalized. Examples would include "Mount McKinley," "Main Street," "Barack Obama."

An abstract noun is a idea, feeling, quality, or characteristic. Examples would include "justice," "love," "good."

A concrete noun is a person, place or thing that can be touched, seen, heard, felt, tasted, or smelled.
