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:

  1. Countable nouns like book, man, etc.
  2. 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?
