A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. Proper nouns refer to a specific idea or living or non-living thing and are capitalized. These include days of the week, months of the year, books, movies, places, musical compositions, magazines, and more. Common nouns are everything else and are not capitalized. Countable nouns can be shown with a number, like eight houses. Just like the name, they are a noun that is able to be counted.
Uncountable nouns are neither singular nor plural. They refer to something which has mass but can not be counted. Examples include: air, sugar, money, furniture, and sadness. Collective nouns refer to a set of things, a unit. You may think of it as a collection. Some examples are: class, society, team, family, and army. Concrete nouns are physical and you can see, smell, touch, taste, or hear them. They can be common or proper, countable or uncountable, singular or plural, or collective. Examples are: bears, Mary, cars, butter, nose, feet, and school. Abstract nouns refer to things that are not physical. They are ideas, feelings, traits, concepts etc. Examples include: sympathy, curiosity, tyranny, love, and patience.
