In this lesson, our instructor Rebekah Hendershot goes through
an introduction on nouns. She starts by explaining what a noun
is and the goes on to singular and plural nouns, collective
nouns, concrete and abstract nouns, proper and common nouns, and
finally count and non-count nouns. Singular nouns describe
single items; plural nouns name multiple items. Collective nouns
are singular nouns that name groups of items: choir, team,
squad, etc. Concrete nouns name items that can be perceived with
the senses (cat, water, etc.); abstract nouns name items that
cannot be perceived with the senses (mercy, sadness, etc.).
Proper nouns are capitalized and name specific people, places,
and things; common nouns are not capitalized and name non-
specific people, places, and things. Count nouns can be singular
or plural and name things that can be counted; non-count nouns
are always singular and name things that cannot be counted.
