A noun is a word that refers to a person, concept, place, or thing. Nouns can act as the subject of a sentence (i.e., the person or thing performing the action) or as the object of a verb (i.e., the person or thing affected by the action). There are numerous types of nouns, including common nouns , proper nouns and collective nouns. A common noun is the generic name for a person, place, or thing in a class or group. Unlike proper nouns, a common noun is not capitalized unless it either begins a sentence or appears in a title. It may be defined as a noun that may occur with limiting modifiers (such as a or an, some, every, and my).

PART OF SPEECH:

A part of speech (also called a word class) is a category that describes the role a
word plays in a sentence. Understanding the different parts of speech can help you
analyze how words function in a sentence and improve your writing.
The parts of speech are classified differently in different grammars, but most
traditional grammars list eight parts of speech in English: nouns, pronouns, verbs,
adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Some modern
grammars add others, such as determiners and articles.
VIN Many words can function as different parts of speech depending on how they
are used. For example, “laugh” can be a noun (e.g., “I like your laugh”) or a verb
(e.g., “don’t laugh”).
1-Nouns

A noun is a word that refers to a person, concept, place, or thing. Nouns can act as
the subject of a sentence (i.e., the person or thing performing the action) or as the
object of a verb (i.e., the person or thing affected by the action).
There are numerous types of nouns, including common nouns , proper nouns and
collective nouns.
A common noun is the generic name for a person, place, or thing in a class or
group. Unlike proper nouns, a common noun is not capitalized unless it either
begins a sentence or appears in a title. It may be defined as a noun that may occur
with limiting modifiers (such as a or an, some, every, and my).
Examples:
1-Ray likes to hike in the mountains.

2-Ray has climbed Mount Everest twice.
3-A girl rang the doorbell this afternoon while you were out.
4-Gigi rang the doorbell this afternoon while you were out.
In correct: The United States has had four Presidents this century.
Correct: The United States has had four presidents this century.
Incorrect: in 1789, the tenure of president George Washington began.
Correct: in 1789, the tenure of President George Washington began.
Proper nouns refer to naming words that are used to denote or classify a specific
person, days, months, languages, nationalities, events of historical importance,
significant eras and periods, and specific brands (names of companies and
organizations), places or things (books, films, songs, and other media ) that we
always use a capital letter to start a proper noun.
EXs: I’ve never been to Egypt.
The Scribbr Knowledge Base is a useful educational resource.
Mr. Smith’s class is reading Much Ado About Nothing.
Her favourite Michael Jackson song was “Human Nature.”
How to Differentiate Proper Nouns from Common Nouns?
You may be wondering about a way to differentiate between proper nouns and
common nouns. It is quite simple and easy. The only thing that you must keep in
mind is that common nouns are very generic in nature and that there are multiple
products of the same type. For example, a pen, a book, a bike, a key, etc. Whereas
proper nouns refer to anything that you can find to be specific, and there is no way
you could have another one of the same types. For example, there is only one
William Shakespeare, only one Abraham Lincoln, only one New York, only one
Chennai, etc.
Practice: check the following sentences if they written properly or Not, and correct
the wrong ones?

1. Did you meet sanju yesterday?


2. The manager took us all to kfc for lunch today.


3. Have you read about the mughal empire?


4. I wish I had a holiday on monday.


5. Darshana picked up the regional language, kannada, sooner than we all
   thought she would.
   Collective noun is a noun that refers to some sort of group or collective—of
   people, animals, things, etc. Collective nouns are normally not treated as plural,
   even though they refer to a group of something.
   Exs:
   
   1-The party will have to rethink its strategy to win the next election.
   2-A flock of sheep is crossing the road, delaying motorists.
   3-The Beatles broke up when Paul McCartney quit the band.
   2-Pronouns
   pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. Pronouns typically refer back to an
   antecedent (a previously mentioned noun) and must demonstrate correct pronoun
   antecedent agreement. Like nouns, pronouns can refer to people, places, concepts,
   and things.
   There are numerous types of pronouns, including personal pronouns (used in
   place of the proper name of a person), demonstrative pronouns (used to refer to
   specific things and indicate their relative position), and interrogative pronouns
   (used to introduce questions about things, people, and ownership).
   Interrogative pronouns are used (along with other types of interrogative words) to
   introduce questions. The interrogative pronouns are:
    What and which, used to ask questions about things.
    Who and whom, used to ask about people.
    Whose, used to ask about ownership.
   Examples: Interrogative pronouns
   1-Whose is this jacket?
   2-What were your favourite classes at school?
   3-Whom do you admire the most?
