The Eight Most Common Types of Nouns are:

  1. Proper Nouns: A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing. A proper noun is always capitalized. Examples of proper nouns are Abraham Lincoln, Madrid, Mercedes Benz.
  2. Common Nouns: These nouns are general words for a person, a place, or a thing. A common noun is capitalized only when it is the first word in a sentence. Examples of common nouns are man, city, car.
  3. Countable Nouns: These nouns can be either singular or plural. Take for example the word table; it can be used as a singular noun "a table", "the table", or a plural noun, "two tables", "many tables".
  4. Uncountable Nouns: These nouns cannot be counted they are often referred to as mass nouns. For example when saying, "The pool was full of water." The uncountable noun in this sentence is water. These nouns cannot be used in a plural form.
  5. Possessive nouns are words that show that something in the sentence belongs to that noun; possessives are shown by adding an apostrophe -s to the end of the word, or occasionally just an apostrophe for some nouns that already end with -s. Examples of possessive nouns are the child's toys, the teacher's desk, the pie's crust, the elephant's baby, the bus's tire, or the bosses' meeting.
  6. Abstract nouns are words for things that you cannot detect with your physical senses; you cannot see, hear, smell, taste, or feel them. An abstract noun is a certain category of things that are known, learned, understood, or felt emotionally. Abstract nouns include tolerance, optimism, hatred, leisure, and gratitude.
  7. Concrete nouns are words for things with which you can physically interact, ones you can detect with your physical senses; things that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. Concrete nouns include person, goat, ferry, sunflower, blueberry, game, blouse, knife, snow, and Clarinet.
  8. Collective Nouns: These nouns are words used to group people or things in a descriptive way. Collective nouns are an informal part of language. There are hundreds of standardized collective nouns, for example a "brigade of firemen" or a "grove of trees", but any noun that suits the situation can function as a collective noun, for example, there is no specific collective noun for brides, most likely because brides seldom form groups. However, if you need a collective noun for a rare grouping of brides, choose a noun suitable for the context, such as a "bouquet of brides".
