    21.04.2023 SPaG Homework - Types of nouns

    • A noun is the name of a thing, such as an object, aplace, or aperson.
    • Nouns are often described asnaming words.
    • There are four different types of nouns, such as: concreteabstractproper and collective.

    Common nouns

    Common nouns refer to an object, person or place. Examples include, skateboard, athlete or theatre.

    Common nouns can be divided into concrete or abstract nouns:

    Concrete nounsare physical things that you can see, touch, taste, hear or smell. In other words, they can be experienced through the five senses. Things like sweets, television, cardboard, sunshine, candles or piano.

    Abstract nouns

    Abstract nounsare things that don't have a physical form, but are stillthings. Abstract nouns might be concepts, ideas, or emotions: knowledge, intelligence, love, friendship, kindness, betrayal.

    Proper nouns

    Proper nouns name a specific object, person or place. They require a capital letter, because they give us the actual name of something or someone. Examples include: London, September, Wednesday, Joshua, Sarah.

    Collective nouns

    Collective nouns describe a group or collection of objects, people or places: a flock of birds, an anthology of poems, a cast of actors. A group of friends.

    Task

    Use the sheet in your book to group each noun into the correct type of noun. You can do this by simply numbering each noun 1-4. Or draw a table to record the noun groups.
