Good Morning Year 6!
Nouns and Expanded Noun Phrases
Nouns are the names of people, animals, places and things. There are 4 types of nouns:
Concrete nouns
The general names of things that you can touch (like concrete!)
Proper nouns
The name of a particular person, place or thing. They always begin with a CAPITAL letter.
Collective nouns
The names for groups of things
Abstract nouns
Our five physical senses cannot detect an abstract noun – you can’t see it, smell it, taste it, hear it, or touch it.
It could be a quality, emotion, concept or idea.
Your task:
Firstly, write 2 examples of each of the different types of nouns (try not to write the same as anyone else!)
