Task description: Over the next few week I am going to be learning all about grammar and parts of a speech. This week I learnt about NOUNS. After completing the extension and compulsory nouns work I then move on the EXTRA nouns worksheets. This will help me remember what a noun is and how it is used. Reflecting on all the nouns work I have done so for, I have learnt what a proper, common, abstract and a collective noun is. A collective nous is a group or a collection of something, e.g: team, class, oxen, rooves, knives, . An Abstract noun is a noun the refers to feelings and emotions. e.g: proud, excited, happy, anxious, angry etc. One of the other four nouns are common nouns. A common nous is nothing to a group, but is a particular individual. The last noun is a proper noun. Long definition short, a proper noun names a specific person, place or thing and is always capitalised.
