The noun hail is a common noun, a word for a weather condition of falling frozen water drops.

The noun hail is not a compound noun. A compound noun is a word made of two or more individual words that merge to form a noun with a meaning of its own. There are three types of compound nouns:

open spaced: tennis shoe, front door, paint brush, bus stop

hyphenated: mother-in-law, fifty-five, six-pack, T-shirt

closed: bathtub, Baseball, houseboat, lunchbox, keyboard


A collective noun is a word used to group people or things taken together as one whole. The noun hail is sometimes used as a collective noun for things that can sting (like hail), a hail of gunfire, a hail of questions, a hail of insults, etc.


The word hail is also a verb: hail, hails, hailing, hailed.

The verb to hail is the falling of frozen water drops or to signal or yell for a taxi to stop and pick you up.

Now, you would think that the noun hail would be a good collective noun for taxis, but the collective noun is a fleet of taxis. However, all of this being said, collective nouns are not set in concrete. You should feel free to use a noun that you find most suitable for a group of things.

The noun 'hail' is an uncountable noun as a word for lumps of ice that fall from clouds; a word for a substance.

Units of hail are expressed by using a partitive noun (also called a noun counter), a noun used to count or quantify an uncountable noun; for example, a delugeof hail or sheets of hail.
