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.
Nouns have different classes: proper and common, concrete and abstract, count and noncount, and collective.
Proper nouns name specific, one-of-a-kind items while common nouns identify the general varieties. Proper nouns always begin with capital letters; common nouns, on the other hand, only require capitalization if they start the sentence or are part of a title.
You classify concrete and abstract nouns by their ability to register on your five senses. If you can see, hear, smell, taste, or feel the item, it's a concrete noun.
Proper nouns: George,Ganga,USA are examples of proper nouns.
Common nouns: Boy ,girl women are common nouns.
Concrete nouns:Noodles,pizza are concrete nouns. We use our senses to taste it.
Abstract nouns: Example: Politeness,Honesty (You cannot feel it or sense it)
Countable nouns: Car,bus etc are countable nouns.
Non-countable nouns: Sugar Sand are non-countable nouns.
Collective nouns:army,troop etc are collective nouns.
