Examples: apple, brother, calf, datum, glass

Plural nouns are words for two or more persons, places, or things.

Examples: apples, brothers, calves, data, glasses

Example concepts: knowledge, harm, advice, news, or homework.

Multiples of non-count nouns are expressed measures or degrees.

Examples: a cup of flour; a roll of aluminum; some advice, a lot of homework.

The plural forms of non-count nouns are reserved for 'types of' or 'kinds of'.

Examples: kinds of rices are brown and basmati; a selection of teas.

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.

• hyphenated: mother-in-law, fifty-five, six-pack
• closed: bathtub, Baseball, houseboat

Gerunds(verbal nouns) are the present participle of a verb (the -ing word) that functions as a noun as the subject of a sentence or clause and the object of a verb or preposition.

Examples: 'I went fishing.'; 'Walking is good exercise.'; Talking will get you nowhere, try some doing.
