Nouns
PART 2: Skill building (NoredInk)
Nouns
A noun is a word for a person, place, or thing. Everything we can see or talk about is represented by a word which names it. That "naming word" is called a noun.
Common Nouns: A common noun is the word used for a class of person, place or thing.
Examples:
Proper Nouns: A proper noun is the name of a person, place or thing (i.e., its own name). A proper noun always starts with a capital letter.
Examples:
Collective Nouns: A collective noun is the word used for a group of people or things.
Examples:
Pronouns: A pronoun is a word used to replace a noun.
Even though they are classified as a different part of speech to nouns, pronouns are nouns. They always play the role of a noun in a sentence.
