What is a Noun? (Types, Definition, Examples, Word Lists)

What is a noun? How does a noun work? A noun typically refers to a person, place, or thing. There are many types of nouns and plural forms of abstract nouns. For example, a concrete noun, which is a type of noun that is perceived the senses (taste, touch, smell) would be Apple. Nouns are an essential part of speech.

What is a noun?

A noun is a word that identifies a place, thing, name, animal, or anything with an identity.A noun can be living, non-living, countable, non-countable, tangible, or non-tangible.

Deepen your understanding of nouns with a list of comprehensive noun examples.

Types of nouns

Nouns that name a person.

Some nouns identify a person’s name, irrespective of their gender. Use these nouns to address a specific person.

Nouns that name a place

Some nouns identify a place – a state, country, town , area, lane, apartment , street, or city. Or any location existing in the present, past , and future, reality or fictional world.

For example,  Hill Valley  (a fictional place in California) or  the USA  are nouns that name a place.

• Central Perk
• King Kong comic stores
• Blue dart grocery
• my living room
• the bathroom
• Fantasy land

Nouns that name things (intangible concepts, activities)

Nouns that identify intangible things – things that do not have a physical existence – are called abstract nouns .

Abstract nouns instead name a feeling , a perception, or a state of a being.

Abstract nouns rely on concrete nouns (nouns that have a physical existence) to complete their meaning.

Look at examples of abstract nouns in the given sentences.

• I’m in  love  with the new sci-fi book by Issac Asimov.
• Ron’s  happiness  was at its peak when he discovered that Lucas had brought him his favorite apartment.
• Her  beauty  was mesmerizing.
• Nina and Bonnie share great  chemistry .

Difference between a proper noun and a common noun

A  proper noun  is a distinctive identity given to a noun. It always begins with a capital letter, irrespective of its position in a sentence . For example,  Lucas  and  Maria  stay in  Germany .

On the other hand, a  common noun  is a group identity or a general identity given to a noun. They don’t begin with a capital letter. For example, A  boy  and a  girl  are studying Math.

Compare this list of examples to understand proper and common nouns better.

Examples of proper nouns vs. common nouns

City of New York

Girl Kristine

Animal Hippopotamus

Color Violet

Flower Rose

Subject English

University Oxford University

Apartment 21/B

Season Spring

Friend Mathew

Types of common nouns

There are three classifications for common nouns:

Concrete nouns

• Abstract nouns

Collective nouns

Concrete nouns  identify a material thing. You can sense all the concrete nouns with human touch, sight, smell, taste, or sound.

• Coffee beans

Abstract nouns  identify intangible and nonmaterial things. You can’t sense them directly, but you understand that it exists through external actions or signs.

For example, anger is an abstract noun . So you can’t see it directly but can gauge it through different (indirect) signs like a person yelling or throwing things forcedly.

Collective nouns  identify a group of things or nouns—for example, a bush of thorns, a bunch of flowers, or a pack of spades.

Use collective nouns when you want to address a group of nouns as a unit simultaneously.

Some other examples of collective nouns include:

• A flock of bees
• A pack of wolves
• An army of ants
• A crew of sailors
• A troop of warriors
• A grove of trees
• A bushel of apples

Grammar rules

• Only capitalize common nouns when they are the beginning word of the sentence.

For example:

1 – Lock the door.

Here, ‘door is a common noun, but it’s not capitalized.

2 – Coffee is the best therapy!

Here, coffee is a common noun, and it’s capitalized since it’s the beginning word of the sentence.

Here are some more examples to determine the proper capitalization of common nouns.

• Incorrect: Nina is the  President  of the happy club.
• Correct: Nina is the  president  of the happy club.
• Incorrect: Samuel eats four  Bananas  a day.
• Correct: Samuel eats four  bananas  a day.

Nouns as subject

A noun is also a subject. Therefore , you usually refer to the subject and construct the sentence around it.

Take the noun, Mandy, for example.

• Mandy is cooking sausages.

Here Mandy is the noun and the subject, and you construct the sentence around it by placing an action –  cooking , and the object –  sausages  around it.

Take another noun, Melissa.

• Melissa leads the content team at Blue House publishers.

Here Melissa is the noun and the subject, and you construct the sentence around it by placing an action –  leads  and the object –  content team at Blue House publishers  around it.

For  nouns as a subject , the noun used should be the performer of the verb in the sentence.

In Mandy and Melissa’s example, they are the performers of the verb ‘cooking’ and ‘leads,’ respectively.

Nouns as objects

A noun is also an object – direct or indirect. The ‘object’ is a noun at the receiving end of the verb. You usually refer to the object and construct the sentence around it.

Take the noun, laptop, for example.

• Assemble the laptop.

Here, ‘laptop’ is a noun and an object – you construct the sentence around it.

Take another noun, bookshelf.

• Clean the bookshelf.

Here, ‘bookshelf’ is a noun and an object – you construct the sentence around it.

Nouns as a subject and object complement

A complement is a part of a sentence that completes the sentence.

Nouns as a subject complement  is a noun that complements the subject in a sentence. It acts as the adjective of the subject.

Andy  is a  mechanic.

Here, ‘Andy’ is the subject, and ‘mechanic’ is the noun as a subject complement.

Robin  eats  grapes.

Here, ‘Robin’ is the subject, and ‘grapes’ is the noun as a subject complement.

Nouns as an object complement  is a noun that complements the object in a sentence. It acts as the adjective of the object.

They call  her crazy.

Here, ‘her’ is the object, and ‘crazy’ is the noun as an object complement.

Appositive nouns and nouns as modifiers

An  appositive noun  (or noun phrase) immediately follows another noun or noun phrase to give extra details about it.

For example, My sister, Brenda, looks after the farm.

Here,  Brenda  is the appositive noun next to another noun,  sister , and informs us about the sister’s name.

1 – A comma separates appositives that add extra information about a noun or noun phrase. You won’t change the sentence’s meaning even if you delete the ‘extra’ information.

• The coat comes in two colors, red and black.

Here,  color  is a noun, and  red  and  black  are appositive nouns.

2 – Don’t add a comma for appositives that add essential information about a noun or noun phrase. If you delete the ‘essential’ information, you will change the sentence’s meaning.

• She was sad over her lost pet.

Here, pet is a noun, and lost is an appositive noun. If you remove the appositive noun, the sentence won’t make any sense.

Regular nouns

A regular noun is any noun that forms plural by adding a -s or -es at the end.

For regular nouns ending with -x, -sh, -ch, -s, -z, or -ss, add an -es at the end of the word to form plurals. 

Regular nouns that form plurals by adding -es

Collective nouns identify a group of countable nouns—for example, team or audience.

Use a singular verb for a collective noun referring to a group as a unit.

For example, Joe’s  family   plans  a vacation every new year.

Here,  family  is a collective noun representing a unit. So, use the singular verb  plans .

Use a plural verb for a collective noun referring to a part that makes up the group.

For example, The Blue House  students   sing  in the choir on Tuesday .

Here,  students  is a collective noun representing every student from the Blue House. So, use the plural verb  sing .

Countable vs. uncountable nouns

Countable nouns are nouns you can count—for example, five numbers , one pen, and seven books.

On the other hand, uncountable nouns are nouns you cannot count—for example, water, rice, and air. So you can’t count them as one water, two rice, or nine air.

• Use a determiner (a/an), if needed, with a countable noun . For example,  an apple  or a  table .
• Uncountable nouns may identify abstract nouns.
• Use a singular verb with uncountable nouns. For instance, she  puts   water  in the glass.

Verbal noun

A verbal noun is derived from a verb but doesn’t act like a verb.

For example, ‘build’ is a verb, and ‘building’ is a verbal noun.

Verb Verbal Noun

Arrive Arrival

Decide Decision

Draw Drawing

Repeat Repetition

Gender-specific noun

Gender-specific nouns identify a masculine or a feminine noun—for example, man and woman. ‘Man’ identifies as a male, and ‘woman’ identifies as a female.

Use names to identify particular gender-specific nouns—for example,  Sheldon  and  Melissa . ‘Sheldon’ identifies as a male, and ‘Melissa’ identifies as a female.

Tiger Tigress

Rooster Hen

Peacock Peahen

Actor Actress

Attributive nouns

An attributive noun is a modifier that works as an adjective—for example,  chicken soup.  Here  soup  is a noun, and  chicken  is an attributive noun that provides extra details about the noun  soup .

• Use attributive nouns before and adjacent to a noun to make sense of its meaning.
• Telephone  brand
• Horror  movie
• Hawaiian  island

Understanding plural nouns

How do plural nouns work.

Plural nouns refer to more than one quantity of a specified noun.

Examples of plural nouns

Common plural noun confusion.

Plural nouns are either regular or irregular nouns. To decide how to form the plural of a singular noun, look at the ending letters of the word and modify the noun accordingly. 

Refer to our detailed guide on Irregular plural nouns here to eliminate confusion regarding plural nouns.

understanding possessive

Possessive nouns show ownership. They usually have an apostrophe .

• Tony has a car. 

Here Tony is not a possessive noun .

• He is driving Tony’s car.

Here Tony is a possessive noun.

What are irregular plural nouns?

An irregular plural noun follows different rules than simply adding a -s or -es at the end of a singular noun.

• Wolf becomes Wolves.
• Person becomes People.

What are noun phrases?

A noun phrase is a group of words that pose as a single noun.

• Ron and Edward study music.

The noun phrase is Ron and Edward, acting together as a single noun.

What are noun clauses?

A noun clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb and works as a single noun. It may or may not make complete sense by itself.

Further , a noun clause can be both a subject and object of a verb in a sentence.

• Patrick will do whatever you recommend.

Here, ‘whatever you recommend’ is a noun clause and works as a noun. The noun clause contains a subject ‘you’ and a verb ‘recommend.’

• What you said was inspiring.

Here, ‘what you said’ is a noun clause and works as a noun. In the noun clause, you is the subject, said is the verb.
