Types of Nouns: Common, Proper, and Collective

There are different types of nouns that help us identify people, places, things, and groups.

Common Nouns

A common noun is the name of a general item, person, or place. It is not specific.

• Example: "dog," "city," "teacher" (These are general terms that could refer to any dog, city, or teacher.)

Proper Nouns

A proper noun refers to the specific name of a person, place, or thing. Proper nouns begin with a capital letter.

• Example: "John," "Paris," "Eiffel Tower" (These are specific names of a person, city, and landmark.)

Collective Nouns

A collective noun refers to a group of people, animals, or things considered as a single unit.

• Example: "team," "flock," "family" (These refer to a group of people, birds, or relatives acting together as one.)
