Noun worksheets, lessons, and tests.

Understanding the parts of speech is fundamental to learning more advanced concepts like sentence structure , grammar, and punctuation. That's why so many language arts units start with the parts of speech. And, if you are starting a unit on the parts of speech, one of the better places to begin is by studying nouns .

Nouns are words that refer to people, places, and things. Most grade school students can tell you this. But the study of nouns gets a little more complex. There are many types of nouns such as common and proper, singular and plural, and abstract and concrete. It is helpful to know these distinctions when studying language. Over the years I've created a catalog of noun worksheets and activities that work well in the classroom. These include multiple-choice tests, practice activities suitable for homework or classroom activities, as well as online noun activities that give students instant feedback and save teachers' time. I've posted all of these activities to this page and made them freely accessible to teachers, parents, and students. May we all one day have a better understanding of what we are saying.

This exercise is not so good as I thought. It is full of mistakes and quality of the exercises are also not very good. Please recognise these mistakes and improve the exercises.

Hello. I’m sorry that your experience using these materials was negative. If you report the errors as you notice them, I will correct them. Best wishes.

Please report the mistakes as you encounter them and I will fix them. I’m just a single person and could use your expertise to improve this site and these resources.

I am so impressed with the way you answered this person’s comment. I really appreciate all of your hard work and although I as well do not always agree with some of the material, I find that when it comes to grammar there are many differences of opinion. Again I thank you for sharing all of your hard work. It is a very valuable resource.

A couple of the documents on this page need to be reformatted. They are skewed.

I love your website.

Thank you for saying this.

The problem with having editable .rtf files is that they appear differently depending on which device / program you are using to open them.

They are great if you want to make a change to a file, but other than that, I highly recommend using the .PDF files.

PDF files are formatted for print and will display in a uniform manner despite the device / program on which you open them.

So, I’m sorry that the .RTF files are not displaying properly for you on your current device. I encourage you to try the .PDF files.

Best wishes!

SO useful! Thanks!

This is so helpful!! My son has been struggling with parts of speech. This will really help us out!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this site!

Reinforces and reflects my current lessons. Interesting and self explanatory. Thank you so much! Worth your weight in gold! This helps on several grade levels.

Very useful ,Thank you

Thanks so much for providing these worksheets. I am reviewing language skills with my computer class and these worksheets have been very helpful for the students.

I am happy to hear it. I’ll be making a bunch more in the coming months. Follow this page on Facebook for updates. Best wishes!

Very useful site. Thank you so much.

Nouns: Definition & Types with Examples

Nouns, also called naming words, would probably be the very first part of speech you would have learnt in your English grammar classes. Anything we can touch, see, smell, taste, hear and hold can be referred to as nouns.

assignment for noun

Here is what we will be covering in this article about nouns:

What Is a Noun?

  • Examples of Nouns

Types of Nouns

Nouns used as a subject, nouns used as an object, nouns used as a complement, nouns used as verbs, nouns used as adjectives, frequently asked questions on nouns.

Nouns are a part of speech that comprise words that are used to name people, places, animals, objects and ideas. Almost every sentence will definitely have a noun, and they perform different roles in a sentence. Nouns can act as the subject, an indirect object , a direct object , a subject complement and an object complement. Nouns can also function as adjectives and verbs .

Examples of Nouns:

  • People – Rahul, Sheela, Man, Person, Tommy, Women, Girl, The Prime Minister
  • Places – Bangalore, India, Mexico, North Pole, South Africa, The Nile River, Classroom, Bedroom, Basketball Court, Cricket Ground, Swimming Pool
  • Animals/Birds/Aquatic Animals/Reptiles – Lion, Zebra, Snake, Ostrich, Flamingo, Bear, Cat, Fish, Shark
  • Ideas – Evolution, Invention, Extinction, Argument, Destruction
  • Objects/Things – Bat, Cycle, Curtains, Paper, Bag, Blackboard, Cupboard

Nouns can be broadly classified into:

1.  Proper Nouns : Nouns that are used to name a person, place or thing specifically are called a proper noun. Proper nouns always begin with a capital letter.

  • My name is Rose . (Name of a particular person)
  • This is my dog, Bruno . (Name of a specific pet animal owned by someone)
  • David came back from Minsk . (Name of a specific place)
  • Louis Philippe is a famous brand of men’s clothing. (Name of a particular clothing brand)

2.  Common no uns : Common nouns are those nouns that refer to a generic item, group or place. This means that, unlike proper nouns, they are not used to identify specific people, places or objects. Common nouns are not capitalised unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence.

  • I bought a pen yesterday. (Common object)
  • I am going to school . (Common place)
  • Only ten employees showed up to work today. (Common group)
  • The car is out of fuel . (Common items)

3.  Singular nouns : These are words that are used to name a single person, place, animal, bird or object.

  • There is a little boy in front of our house. (Single person)
  • That is my daughter . (Single person)
  • I found a wounded sparrow in the bush. (Single bird)
  • A red van has been following us for a long time. (Single object)

4.  Plural nouns : Plural nouns refer to a number of people, places, animals or things. Nouns are made plural by adding an ‘s’ or ‘es’ or ‘ies’ or ‘ves’ to the existing root word. Nouns that end with an ‘s’ remain the same. Some nouns remain the same in both their singular and plural forms, and some others have totally different spelling.

  • I need some apples .
  • Did you find the boxes you were looking for?
  • I bought mangoes from the market.
  • We took photos of some deer on our way.

5. Countable nouns are those nouns that can be counted or measured.

  • Tom brought ten packets of lays for the trip. (specific number – ten)
  • Mom asked me to buy a dozen eggs . (specific – dozen means twelve)
  • I saw an aeroplane around seven in the morning. (specific – an means one)

6. Uncountable nouns are those nouns that cannot be counted. This category of nouns includes both concrete and abstract nouns.

  • I have a lot of homework to do. (Not specific)
  • I have a cup of tea . (Cannot count)
  • We are facing terrible weather today. (Cannot count)

7.  Collective Nouns : A collective noun is a naming word that is used to denote a group of objects, animals or people.

  • A pride of lions
  • A flock of sheep
  • A swarm of bees
  • A herd of elephants
  • A band of musicians
  • A board of directors
  • A crew of sailors
  • A company of actors
  • A pair of shoes
  • A chain of mountains
  • A fleet of ships
  • A bunch of grapes

8. Concrete Nouns: A concrete noun refers to objects that are material and can be perceived by the human senses.

  • The book is on the table.
  • I had a cup of coffee .
  • Sharon opened the windows .
  • Hardy goes to school by bus .

9. Abstract Nouns : Any entity that cannot be perceived by the five senses of the human body are called an abstract noun.

  • Love is a strong emotion.
  • Honesty is the best policy.
  • It takes a lot of courage to raise your voice and stand up against injustice.
  • You should not misuse the freedom you are given.

Nouns Used as Different Components of a Sentence

  • Bruno went to the playground.
  • The teacher asked the students to submit their assignments.
  • The elephant was rescued safely after ten long hours.

When nouns are used as objects, they appear in the latter part of a sentence. It can be identified by asking the question ‘what’.

  • I bought a pen .
  • Where is your book ?
  • I cannot find today’s newspaper .

Nouns can be used as a direct object and an indirect object.

You can identify a noun used as a direct object by asking the question ‘what’.

  • Do you want a lollipop ? (What do you want? – a lollipop)

  • Megha baked Julie a cake. (For whom did Megha bake a cake? – Julie)

When a noun is used to modify or describe another noun, it acts as a complement .

Nouns Used as a Subject Complement

Professions and positions can perform the role of a subject complement.

  • My brother is an engineer .
  • Jawaharlal Nehru was the first Prime Minister of India.

Nouns Used as an Object Complement

Object complements are nouns that follow the noun they modify. Names, professions and positions can perform the role of an object complement.

  • We named our dog, Shadow .
