CBSE Class 6 English Grammar Noun
Noun Definition:
A noun is the name given to a thing, person, object (animate or inanimate), or feeling:
Example: Ram, man, dog, book, tree, light, love, etc.
Kinds of Nouns:
Nouns can be of two kinds:
- Countable nouns like book, man, etc.
- Uncountable nouns like light, bread, etc.
1. An uncountable noun is sometimes used as a countable noun.
Three teas, please.
Here, ‘three teas’ means three cups of tea.
There were dozens of ice creams
It means there were dozens of kinds of ice cream.
Compare:
She has curly hair.
There is a hair in my soup.
2. Some nouns have different meanings when they are used countably and when used uncountably.
Glass is fragile.
Give me a glass of water
This is a three-room house.
There is no room for dishonesty in this company.
3. Collective nouns such as a group, a crowd, a herd, a team etc are singular. However, if we think of the members individually, a plural verb may be used
Compare:
A flock of sheep was grazing. A flock of sheep was straying all over the road, confusing the traffic.
In the first sentence, the speaker is thinking of the sheep as a group. In the second sentence, he has different sheep—some straying in one direction and some in the other. So we use a plural verb there.
Some nouns have a plural form but are always treated as singular. What is the latest news?
