It's sometimes unclear whether the verb for a collective noun should be singular or plural. A proper noun is the name of a particular person, place, or thing it usually begins with a capital letter: Abraham Lincoln, Argentina, and World War I are all proper nouns.Ī collective noun is a noun that names a group of people or things, such as flock or squad. Examples are animal, sunlight, and happiness. A common noun refers to a person, place, or thing but is not the name of a particular person, place, or thing. There are a number of different categories of nouns. It's usually a single word, but not always: cake, shoes, school bus, and time and a half are all nouns. A noun is a word that refers to a thing ( book), a person ( Noah Webster), an animal ( cat), a place ( Omaha), a quality ( softness), an idea ( justice), or an action ( yodeling). Nouns make up the largest class of words in most languages, including English.
