Numerous Nouns!

We have been learning about nouns in class. 

A noun names a person, a place, a thing, or an idea. 

Example: A friend needs you. 


Nouns also fall into a few different categories. 


A common noun names any person, place, or thing. 

Example: Our teacher is reading. 



A proper noun names a particular person, place, or thing

Example: Ms. Tulbure is reading. 



A concrete noun names something that you can hear, taste, smell, or touch. 

Example: The crocodile is dangerous.  The sunrise is beautiful. 



An abstract noun names something you think about, but cannot see, taste, smell, or touch.

Example: His childhood was joyous.          Her courage made her strong.
