A noun is a word that names something, such as a person, place, thing, or idea. In a sentence, nouns can play the role of subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, object complement, appositive, or modifier. Some noun examples include: cat. bicycle.
Kinds of Noun
Noun can be divided into five following groups:
Common Noun
A common noun is a term for a person, place, or thing. The term 'boy' refers to all boys (Rakesh, Raju, Amit, Rajesh, Mayank, etc.) but does not relate to any specific boy. As a result, the term 'boy' is used frequently. Similarly, the term 'city' refers to any city in the world (Delhi, Patna, Japan, New York, etc.) but does not specify a specific city. Thus, 'city' is a common noun. (An article must come before a singular common noun.)
Proper Noun.
A proper noun is a name given to a particular person, place, or thing.
For example, Rakesh and Amit are boys' names; Delhi is a city; the Taj Mahal is a building; the Ganga is a river; and Mt Everest is a mountain range.
Abstract Noun
An abstract noun is a word for anything that we can think of rather than something we can see or touch. They are the titles given to certain qualities, feelings, states, or actions. Charity is an abstract term since it refers to a trait that cannot be seen but can only be understood through a person's acts or behavioural patterns.
Adjectives, verbs, and common nouns can form abstract nouns.
vain vanity
miser miserly
cruel cruelty
efficient efficiency
honest honesty
brave bravery
By addition of ness
