 COLLECTIVE NOUNS back

Collective nouns are nouns that refer to a collection or group of multiple people, animals, or things.
However, even though collective nouns refer to multiple individuals, they still usually function as singular
nouns in a sentence. This is because they still are technically referring to one thing :the group as a whole.
Here are some examples of collective nouns :
Group
A group is a single unit that is made up of a number of individuals, whether people or things.
Collection
A collection is a single unit that typically consist of many similar things organized together, such as
paintings.
Tribe
A tribe is a single unit that is made up of a group of tribe members.
Fleet
A fleet is a single unit that is made up of several vehicles or vessels, such as ships.
Band
A band is a single unit that consist of a number of different musicians.
Collective nouns are used in sentences to refer to a group of people, anmials or things. Here are some
examples of collective nouns being used in sentences :
“The organization voted to revoke the rules that it had previously approved.”
 COMMON NOUNS
All nouns serve to name a person, place, or thing. Those that identify general people, places ,
things are called common nouns- they name that which is common among others.
Example : “He sat on the chair”
“I live in a city”
“We met some people”
“She went into politics”
“Our teacher is beautiful”
“let’s go down to the lake”. back
 PROPER NOUNS back

Proper nouns, on the other hand, are used to identify a unique or more specific about person, place, or thing. A
proper noun names someone or something that is one of a kind, which is signified by the use of capital letter,no
matter where it appears in a sentence.
• Names
The most common proper nouns are names, as of people, places, or events. For example :
“Go find Adinda and tell her dinner is ready.”
“I lived in Banyuwangi before I moved to Yogyakarta.”
“My new Macbook is incredibly fast”
• Appellations
When a person has additional words added to his or her name (known as an appellation), this becomes part of
the proper noun and is also capitalized. (Some linguists distinguish these as proper names, rather than proper
nouns.) For example :
“Prince William is adored by many people”
• Job Titles and Familial Roles
Many times, a person may be referred to according to a professional title or familial role instead of by name. In
this case, the title is being used as a noun of address and is considered a proper noun, evenif it would be a
common noun in other circumstances. For example :
“How are you doing, Coach?”
“I need your advice, Mr. President.”
“Mom, can you come with me to the playground?”
