English Grammer - 1

The Noun

A sentence is a group of words arranged in a manner which makes complete sense. Words are divided into different kinds of classes called part of Speech according to their use or according to the work they do in a sentence.
 A Noun is one of these parts. A Noun is a word used as the name of a person, place, animal or thing.

 The word thing includes (i) all objects that we can see, touch, hear, smell or taste and (ii) something we can think of, but cannot perceive by senses.

There are five different kinds of Nouns. They are :-
(1) Proper Noun (2) Common Noun (3) Collective Noun (4) Material Noun
(5) Abstract Noun.

THE FAMILY OF THE NOUNS

The following chart will make you familiar with the family of the Nouns :
The Noun             Nature of the Noun                                                      Some Examples
Proper Noun -       denotes one particular person, place or thing         Chander, Calcutta,India etc.
Common Noun -   Common Noun is the name given in common       Table,glass, town,king etc.
                             to every person or thing of the same class or kind.
Collective Noun -  It denotes a group or collection of similar             Army, class, host jury, etc.
                              individuals considered as one complete whole.
Material Noun-      It denotes matter or substance of which a              Wood, clay rubber, iron, 
                             thing is made.                                                               gold, cloth, etc.
Abstract Noun -      It expresses quality, state or action                      Truth, love., soul,mind,
                                                                                                               greatness,life,etc.

Examples: Mathematics are a difficult subject. (Incorrect)
                   Mathematics is difficult subject. (Correct)
Note:-  Mathematics looks like plural but, in fact, it is singular. So we cannot use
plural verb with it.


1. 'Cousin' is never followed by'brother'or'sister1.
2. We do not write a man. We write to a man.
3. 'Boarding' is a wrong use. It should be 'boarding house'.
4. 'Poor people' is a slang use. It should be 'the poor'
5. 'Signature' should be used in place of the abbreviation 'sign'
6. Food taken once is 'meal' and not 'meals' Meals means both 'lunch and dinner' and we cannot take them together.
7. 'Vacation' is one term. Hence it is singular.
8. 'Tickets' mean 'the number of tickets'. Ticket' means 'the mode of entry.
9. 'Alphabet' is generally used in the singular sense. But it can also be used in the plural sense when different languages are referred to at the same time.
10. 'Inning' is no word. The actual word is 'innings' and is always used in the singular sense.
