There are different types of nouns including: proper, common, count, mass, collective, and abstract. Naming a specific person place or thing . Examples: Gregory, Suffolk, Nansemond River, God, Europe, and English . Proper nouns are usually always capitalized . Doesn’t name nouns specifically Such as, boy, girl, city, school, church, class, teacher . Common nouns are not capitalized unless used in the beginning of a sentence.

Examples include grass, water, blood, energy. Depending on how the noun is used in a sentence, it could be count or mass. Ex: she had a hard time in college – mass she had hard times in college - count Name nouns that can take singular form but are composed of more than one person or object . Examples: Flock, heard, jury, class, group, team . Names nouns that are not tangible . Examples: Peace, love, justice, joy . With possessive nouns one has to add an apostrophe and a “s” to show possession. If the noun is plural an has an “s” on the end then one only needs to add an apostrophe. Noun clause have a subject and verb that do whatever the noun does. Ex: What the teacher does is nice. Noun phrase is a group of modifiers joining with a noun to help further identify it. Ex: That dog digging in granddad's garden, is Mrs. Smith’s new beagle.
