100+ Examples of Nouns, Types, Word Sentences, and How it Works

Nouns are the class of words that name or identify all the things we know: objects, places, subjects, concepts, among others . For example:shoe , garden , Juan, love.

It is a central category in the language, because together with verbs , adjectives and adverbs , they are lexical elements that have full semantic content, unlike grammatical words, such as articles or conjunctions .

From the morphological point of view, the nouns present:

• Gender: Nouns can be feminine or masculine and this is usually manifested in the endings -a and -o, respectively (for example:dog/dog, medical/doctor). Also, there are nouns that have an inherent gender that cannot be changed (for example: tomato, picture, table).
• number: Nouns can be in the singular (when they name a single element) or in the plural (when they name more than one element). To form the plural, you usually add -s or -es at the end (for example: streets, trees, lamps).

Types of Nouns

There are different types of nouns, depending on the criteria taken into account to classify them.

Own / Common

• Proper nouns: They designate unique entities, which can be people, animals, countries, cities, rivers, institutions, brands, festivities, artistic works, among others. They do not have an article and are written with an initial capital letter. For example: Juan, Superman, Buenos Aires, Asia.
• Common nouns: They refer to people, animals, objects and concepts in general, that is, they do not refer to a specific member within a class. They serve to identify things, but in a generic way. They are usually accompanied by an article and are written in lowercase. For example:vase, ant, castle, keyboard.

Common nouns, in turn, are classified according to the following criteria:

Concrete / Abstract

• Concrete nouns: They name material, tangible and perceptible elements with the senses. For example:car, shelf, dog.
• Abstract nouns: They name non-tangible elements, such as love, feelings, emotions or ideas. For example:justice, creativity, joy.

Accounting countless

• Countable Nouns: They can be counted or numbered. For example:apple, bottle, table.
• Uncountable Nouns: They cannot be counted or quantified. For example:hunger, dust, joy.

Individual / Collective

• Individual nouns: They name individual things or objects. For example: horse, singer, poplar.
• Collective nouns: They name a set of objects or individuals, without being a plural word. For example: herd, choir, alameda.

How do nouns work in the sentence?

A noun is the head of a noun phrase, for which it can fulfill the following syntactic functions:

• Core of the subject: For example: Summer is coming soon.
• Direct complement nucleus: For example: He built his house himself.
• Attribute: For example: This boy is my son .
• Nucleus of a circumstantial complement: For example:Next year we will go to United States.
• Predicative complement kernel: For example: He was appointed director of the company.

To take into account:Noun unimember sentences also have a noun as a syntactic head. For example:What luck !
