Course modified date: 12 Jul 2022

Learn about nouns and pronouns and the different types. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.

Introduction 

Nouns are naming words for people, places, things and ideas.
They are divided into two subsections:
1.       Concrete nouns are objects we can smell, taste, touch and see such as chair, table, dog and pen.
2.       Abstract nouns are ideas, states and feelings such as love, hope, honour and clarity.
Nouns can also be sub-divided into proper and common nouns.
A proper noun has two distinctive features that make it different to a common noun:
1.       It will name a specific item.

2.       It will begin with a capital letter no matter where it occurs in the sentence.

Pronouns are words that replace the name of a person or an object when it is already clear whom or what you are talking about.
Example:   “Jane has broken her leg. She’ll not be able to play football for weeks.”
