It refers to ordinary, everyday objects, people, places, and ideas. If you are confused between the concept of using common and proper nouns then you are at the right place. In this blog post, you will learn the definition of common nouns with the help of examples and the uses of these nouns in the English language along with an exciting exercise to practice this concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background has-medium-font-size\">Learn all about <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/category\/learn-english\/nouns\/\"><strong>Nouns<\/strong><\/a> Here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-common-nouns-nbsp\"><span id=\"what-are-common-nouns\">What are Common Nouns?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Common nouns are the<a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/types-of-nouns\/\"><strong> type of nouns<\/strong><\/a> that are used to refer to the name of persons, places, things, animals, or ideas that are not specific. Therefore, the ordinary names given to the name of a person, place, thing, animal, or idea are called common nouns. In this sense, it differs from, proper nouns that refer to the particular name of the person, place, things, animals, or ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us understand both types with the help of an <strong>example<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Sita <\/strong>went to the<strong> <\/strong><strong>temple<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, Sita is the proper noun because it is the name of a specific girl whereas temple is the common noun. After all, every temple is named a temple.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"><strong>Sita<\/strong> went to the <strong>Golden Temple<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, both Sita and Golden Temple are proper nouns because they are the specific name of the person and the temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img  decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"What are common nouns\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/E3pM_fwBGiSfn3uPXNVLLQjXnd1TImEfgsMTEpa5ZL00b8e1ADQEQyDVtJEOQJM160XxK8WitPy2pK5Wxd1SWs8Axf_ZcEz9tCo2aDQaZWAUEHmgK0pDCakRzS5b-hG1r5Iv8ZNIRa6sc6JgPI4ACkU\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><strong>Sentence Rearrangement Tricks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-common-nouns-nbsp\"><span id=\"types-of-common-nouns\">Types of Common Nouns\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Nouns are the building blocks that are commonly used in English sentences. They can be divided into four categories. Let\u2019s understand them one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Countable Common Noun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, anything that can be counted or measured in fingers comes under countable nouns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I have three apples in my bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are five chairs around the table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>She owns two cats and a dog.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Uncountable Common Noun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the exact opposite of Countable nouns. Uncountable nouns cannot be countered in terms of exact numbers. They have to be measured in terms of quantities rather than numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Would you like some water?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He spilt rice all over the kitchen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>She bought flour to bake a cake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Collective Common Noun\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can call a group or a unit that is similar by nature a Collective Common Noun.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The herd of cattle grazed peacefully in the field.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The swarm of bees buzzed around the hive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The team of experts worked together to solve the problem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Concrete Common Noun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are things that can be felt with our five senses and have a physical presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The dog chased the ball.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>She admired the beautiful sunset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The children played in the park.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-use-common-nouns\"><span id=\"how-to-use-common-nouns\">How to Use Common Nouns?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Without the use of common nouns, the sentences in English are incomplete. They should be used to carefully form the structure of the sentences. Here is an example:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>She said, \u201cI want to read.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the sentence examples given above, there is no usage of common noun. Therefore, making no indication about what she wants to read. This is why the addition of common noun in a sentence is used to make sentences accurate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><strong>Sentence Correction for Competitive Exams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-list-of-common-nouns\"><span id=\"list-of-common-nouns\">List of Common Nouns<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us read the table carefully to learn about the common nouns referring to human beings, animals, birds, insects, reptiles, things\/objects, and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Common Nouns<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Human Beings<\/strong><\/td><td>Man, Woman, Female, Male, Husband, Wife, Teacher, Lawyer, Citizen, Girl, Boy, etc.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Animals<\/strong><\/td><td>Cat, Pig, Cow, Hen, Elephant, Tiger, Dog, Horse, Rabbit, Mouse, Animal, etc.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Birds<\/strong><\/td><td>Dove, Crow, Pelican, Flamingo, Duck, Goose, SwanCuckoo, Sparrow, Hummingbird, Eagle, Vulture, etc.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Insects<\/strong><\/td><td>Stationery, Water bottle, Car, Spray, Plant, Necklace, Tie, Shoes, Orange, Curd, Thread, Pants, etc.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Reptiles<\/strong><\/td><td>Snake, Crocodile, Alligator, Lizard, etc.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Things<\/strong><\/td><td>Stationery, Water bottle, Car, Spray, Plant, Necklace, Tie, Shoes, Orange, Curd, Thread, Pant, etc.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Places<\/strong><\/td><td>College, Airport, School, Railway station, Court, Terminus, Street, State, District, Junction, Bus Stand, Clinic, Store etc.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Ideas<\/strong><\/td><td>Truth, Grace, Discovery, Cleanliness, Poverty, Movement, Idea, Though, Feeling, Expression, etc.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><strong>Noun and its Types<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-examples-of-common-nouns-in-the-form-of-sentences\"><span id=\"examples-of-common-nouns-in-the-form-of-sentences\">Examples of Common Nouns in the form of Sentences<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the common examples of common nouns used in the sentences.
