Noun.

Today, we are going to talk about noun. Noun is a very interesting part of speech. Often times, it is mentioned before other parts of speech are mentioned. So what then is a noun?

 A noun is the name of things. Whatever has a name is a noun. It doesn't matter if we can physically see or touch the thing or not- it is a noun as long as it is called by a name.

Types of Noun.

Proper noun
Common noun
Concrete noun
Countable noun
Uncountable noun
Abstract noun
Gerund/verbal noun
Collective noun
Possessive noun

Now let's take them one by one.
Common noun usually talks about general, unspecific things that can be seen and touched. So, examples are: spoon, table, chin, floor, deck, shoe and all other common things around us.

Proper nouns are nouns that refer to people, places, months, days, titles or some supernatural beings. Proper nouns like John, Sade , February, Tuesday Lagos are capitalized at the beginning to show their distinction from common nouns, such as "state," "man" or "building." Examples are written below;
People: Matt, Sola, Lee, Jane, Tasha etc
Days; Monday, Thursday, Saturday etc
Places; Los Angeles, Beijing, Lagos, New York
Titles: President, Ambassador, Doctor, Lawyer
Months; March, June, April, August
Supernatural beings; God, Jesus,  etc

Concrete nouns are nouns that refer to things that exist physically and can be touched, seen, smelled, felt, or tasted. Here are some examples dog, pot, house, food, table, cloth, phone, pen,  salt, sweater, wool, coal, fire etc
Concrete nouns can be perceived by at least one of our five seen senses.

 The abstract nouns refer to concepts or feelings that cannot be understood concretely or touched physically. They can neither be seen or touched because they are not visible but they can be felt. Examples are; air, love, hunger, pain, anger, patience, beauty, knowledge, friendship, forgiveness, hope etc.

Collective nouns are nouns that refer to a group of something in particular. Often, collective nouns are used to refer to
groups of animals, things or people. Consider the following sentences.
gaggle of geese.
herds of cattle,
A crowd of pulpils
A team of players

A compound noun contains two or more words that join together to make a single noun.
 Compound nouns can be two words written as one (closed form), such as softball and
toothpaste; words that are hyphenated (hyphenated form), such as six-pack and son-in-law ; or separate words (open form), such as post office and upper class that go together by meaning. Other examples are

Countable nouns can occur in both single and plural forms, can be modified by numbers, and can co-occur with
quantifying determiners, such as many, most, more, several, etc.
Exampl es are pen, horse, guitar, door, chalk, plate boys, girls, teachers etc

Uncountable nouns usually cannot take plural forms. They are same whether single or plural.
Liquids and powders are among the items that are considered mass nouns, such as milk , rice, wood, sand, water, and flour . Other more abstract examples that cannot be counted would be air , freedom , or intelligence, information etc.

Possessive nouns demonstrate ownership over something else. The best way to spot them is to look for an apostrophe. Here are some examples:
Melissa's imagination ran wild as she daydreamed about her trip to Ireland.
Ireland's landscape is truly breathtaking.
The puppy's favorite toy is the squeaky newspaper.
These nouns are demonstrating ownership, but they're also still persons, places, or things.
