There are proper nouns and common nouns. Proper nouns refer to a SPECIFIC person, place, thing or idea. They usually begin with a capital letter. Examples: Janet, New York, England.

Common nouns do not begin with a capital, and refer to a general person, place, thing, or idea. Examples; man, country, dog, house

Possessive Nouns - In the possessive case, a noun or pronoun changes its form to show that it owns or is closely related to something else. Usually, nouns become possessive by adding a combination of an apostrophe and the letter "s."

Proper Nouns - Names a specific place, person, or thing.

Common Nouns - common noun is a noun referring to a person, place, or thing in a general sense

Concrete Nouns - A noun you can percerive through your senses like touch, smell, taste, sight

Abstract nouns - anything you cannot perceive through your physical senses oposite of a concrete noun

Collective Nouns - noun naming a group of animals or things like - "The FLOCK of geese were flying yesterday"

common noun: is a word that names a person, place or thing, eg. cop, mom, city, river, pencil, table, door etc...

proper noun: is a word that names a specific person, place or thing eg. John , Mary, Lake Michigan, Amazon River, Chicago, Xerox copier, Craftsman tools etc...

compound noun: is a common noun formed by joining and adjective and a noun, an adverb and a noun or two nouns eg. blackbird, cowpoke, wristwatch, blackboard etc...

Proper nouns (proper names) are names of unique entities - i.e. Jupiter or Germany.
Common nouns are naming words - i.e. dog, cat or box.
Count nouns - common nouns that can take a plural (two, several etc) - i.e. chair, occasion.
Collective nouns - nouns that refer to groups consisting of more than one individual or entity, i.e. herd, flock.
Concrete nouns - refer to definite objects—objects in which you use at least one of your senses, i.e. apple, or Janet
Abstract nouns - refer to ideas or concepts, i.e. justice or hate.

Nouns are names of person, place or thing. It would be impossible to name them all.

Assuming we all agree that a NOUN is a "person, place or thing..."

Some types of nouns that pop into my mind are proper nouns and pronouns.

*Proper nouns are NAMES. That's the easiest way to explain them. People's names, (first, last, and titles, such as Mr., Mrs., Dr. , etc.) the names of countries, cities, streets, religions, etc. Proper nouns are capitalized.

Examples of proper nouns: Jane, William, Dr. Adams, Mrs. Brown, Main St., China, Tennessee, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Catholicism, Buddhism, etc.

*Pronouns are words used IN PLACE OF more specific nouns. Examples: I, me, her, him, it, they, them, etc.


Proper noun: I read a book to Elizabeth. (Proper noun is "Elizabeth.")

Pronoun: I read a book to her. (Pronoun is "her")


(Pronouns can be further broken down into subgroups, "personal" and "possessive" but this may be more information than you require. Personal pronouns are how you refer to yourself. "I, me, myself" Ex: I walked to the beach. A possessive pronoun is "mine, hers, his, theirs.")

More examples:

1. "I found my coat in the hall."
("I" is a personal pronoun with which I refer to myself, and "my" is a possessive pronoun, denoting ownership.)

2. "I found Karen's coat in the hall" ("I" is a personal pronoun, and Karen is a possessive proper noun.)

3. "Karen found my coat; she said it was in the hall." ("Karen" is a proper noun, "my" is a possessive pronoun, and "it" is a regular pronoun, referring to my coat.)

4. "I love my coat because it keeps me warm." ("I" is a personal pronoun, referring to myself; "my" is a possessive pronoun, denoting ownership of the coat, and "it" is a regular pronoun, indicating the coat.)

It's been a long time since I was a student, but those are what pop to mind. I hope they are helpful. :) Nouns and pronouns can also be subjects and direct objects. And sometimes adjectives. OK, I'd better find you a link :) Here...http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/nouns_lessons.htm
