If you need some English Grammar study sheets and worksheets, I have some on various topics such as nouns. The following lesson is a sample lesson of the lessons that I have for sale.
This is the first lesson in Developing English Grammar Skills. First, we'll look at nouns. A noun names a person, place, or thing. There are common nouns, proper nouns, concrete nouns, abstract nouns, and compound nouns.
Here are some examples of nouns: ball, bat, toy, boy, girl, Adam, Nancy, Kansas, building, and others.
Common Nouns
A common noun names a person, place, or thing. You don’t capitalize common nouns because they don’t name a specific noun. Here are some examples of common nouns: boy, girl, toy, ball, football, game, cat, dog, mouse, garage, house, and church.
Proper Nouns
A proper noun names a specific person, place, or thing.
Here are some examples of proper nouns: Mrs. Parker, Christy, Topeka, Kansas, Nancy, Ron, and so on.
Concrete Nouns
A concrete noun is a noun that you can see, touch, taste, hear, or smell.
Here are some examples of concrete nouns: television, macaroni, smoke, rolls, and clouds.
Abstract Nouns
An abstract noun is a noun that is something you can’t see. It identifies a feeling, emotion, or quality.
Here are some examples of abstract nouns: beauty, anger, nature, love, and ability.
