    Chandigarh is a beautiful place.
    Harsh is an intelligent boy.
    All the words in italics are Proper Nouns. Sweta is the name of a particular person. Kolkata is the name of a particular place. Such nouns that are all names of particular persons, places or things are called Proper Nouns.
    Note: A Proper Noun always begins with a capital letter.
  2. Common Noun: A Common Noun is a name given in common to every person or thing of the same class or kind.
    Examples:

    All the words in italics are Common Nouns. Bananas are the names of common fruits or things. Park is the name of a common place. Kite is the name of a common thing and girls are names of common persons.
  3. Collective Noun: When a noun stands for a collection of persons or things, considered as one complete whole, it is called Collective Noun.
    Examples:
    I purchased a bunch of grapes.
    I saw a herd of cattle.
    Our class consists of forty students.
    There was a big crowd on the road.
    All the words in italics are Collective Nouns. The word bunch is the name given to a collection of grapes. Similarly, the word crowd is the name given to a collection of people.
  4. Material Noun: A noun which stands for the matter or substance of which things are made is called Material Noun.
    Examples:
    This chair is made of wood.
    The chain is made of gold.
    Clothes are made of cotton, wool and silk.
    All the words in italics are Material Nouns. They are the names of the material of which chair, chain and clothes are made respectively.
  5. Abstract Noun: An Abstract Noun is the name given to a quality, a state or a concept. These are something which we can neither see nor touch but which we can only feel or think of them.
    Examples:
    I always speak the truth.
    King Solomon is known for his wisdom.
