• city (it can refer to any city like Tezpur, Mumbai, Toronto, etc. but nothing in particular).

         The nouns that cannot be counted are called non-countable nouns.

Example: Water, sugar, oil, salt, etc. (you cannot say “1 water, 2 water, 3 water” because water is not countable)

Abstract nouns and proper nouns are always non-countable nouns, but common nouns and concrete nouns can be both count and non-count nouns.

          যি noun এ একে জাতীয় বস্তু বা ব্যাক্তিৰ সমষ্টিক বুজায় তাক Collective Noun বা সমষ্টিবাচক বিশেষ্য বোলে ।

        A collective noun is a word for a group of things, people, or animals of the same kind , spoken of as one whole.

Collective nouns can be both plural and singular. However, Americans prefer to use collective nouns as singular, but both of the uses are correct in other parts of the world.

Read the following examples:

• A bouquet of flowers.

• A bunch of keys.

• A forest of trees.

• A team of players.

• A pride of lions.

◆Compound Noun:

           Sometimes two or three nouns appear together, or even with other        parts of speech, and create idiomatic compound nouns. Idiomatic means that those nouns behave as a unit and, to a lesser or greater degree, amount to more than the sum of their parts.

Example: six-pack, five-year-old, and son-in-law, snowball, mailbox, etc.

◆Functions of Nouns

          Nouns can be used as a subject, a direct object, and an indirect object of a verb; as an object of a preposition; and as an adverb or adjective in sentences. Nouns can also show possession.

Subject: The company is doing great. Roses are the flowers of love.

Direct object: I finally bought a new mobile.

Indirect object: Max gave Carol another chocolate.

Object of preposition: Roses are the flowers of love.
