English Language and Grammar - Nouns

Learn everything about nouns. These can be seen in a number of different ways and this course looks at them in detail. Clear explanations and lots of examples help the learner.

The following noun aspects are looked at in detail:

• common and proper nouns
• singular and plural nouns
• capitalisation rules for nouns
• abstract and concrete nouns
• collective nouns
• countable and uncountable nouns
• pronouns
• possessives
• compound nouns
• gerunds

During the course, we looked at the various ways in which we can divide nouns.

The project work involves looking at nouns and deciding how we can classify them. Look at the following list of nouns and decide on the characteristics.

I'll show you a couple of examples, to show you what I mean.

Examples:

table: common, singular, concrete, countable.

hunger: common, abstract, uncountable.

Now it's your turn.

Please try these for yourself. If you upload your answers to the project area, I will check them for you and give you feedback.
