  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    All the things in the world are made up of atoms.
    Solution
    Common nouns name general things, whereas proper nouns name specific individuals or things. For example, 'man' is a common noun whereas Thomas is a proper noun, a specific name for a particular man. Proper nouns always begin with a capital letter.
    Option A: 'Things', 'world' and 'atoms' are general names for things. Also, common nouns begin with small letters 't', 'w' and 'a'. (An exception: in any sentence or a phrase in a new line, the first letter of the first word is a capital.)
    Hence they are common nouns.
    So, this option is the right one.

    Options B, C and D: 'All' is a determiner that comes before articles, nouns or numbers. It isn't a noun.
    Proper nouns begin with capital letters 'T', 'W' and 'A' whereas the nouns here begin with small letters 't', 'w' and 'a'.
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Pick out the proper nouns and common nouns from the following sentence:

    Newton discovered the Law of Gravity.
    Solution
    There are two proper nouns in this statement: Newton - the name of the scientist and 'the Law of Gravity' - the name of a law of physics. 'Law' and 'gravity' are common nouns. Out of the four options, the only correct one is 'Newton - Proper Noun'.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    How much of the amount has been spent?
    Solution
    Countable nouns name things or beings that can be counted. For example, one apple, three bears, etc.
    Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, because they refer to quantity or mass. For example, some milk, some apple juice, etc.
    Option A: 'Amount' refers to the quantity of something. It cannot be counted, and is hence uncountable. So, option A is right.

    Options B and D: The noun 'amount' refers to a quantity and hence cannot be counted. It indicates a mass and hence is an uncountable noun.

    Options C and D: 'Much' is a quantifier and indicates the amount or degree of something. It means 'a large amount'. It's not a noun and hence cannot be categorized as countable or uncountable.
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    Santhosh was congratulated on his victory.
    Solution
    Common nouns include both abstract as well as concrete nouns. These nouns name things, whether abstract or concrete. By abstract we mean, something that can be sensed or felt, and not touched. They include emotions and states of being. Concrete nouns can be seen, felt, tasted, smelled and heard.
    Collective nouns refer to a group of things like a swarm of bees.
    Proper nouns name a specific person, place or animal, for e.g. Amy, America.
    Option D: In the given sentence, 'Santhosh' is the name of a particular man, hence it's a proper noun.
    The noun 'victory' is an abstract thing. It refers to the state of winning. Hence it's an abstract or a common noun. So, option D is correct.
    Options A and B: 'Santosh' cannot be a common noun as it names a specific individual.
    'Victory' refers to a state of winning, and does not indicate any group or individual. Hence these options are incorrect.
    Option C: 'Santhosh' names a concrete noun, a man. Hence it cannot be abstract and this option is incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Identify the countable and uncountable nouns in the following sentence:
    Our team came off victorious.
    Solution
    'Team' is a countable noun here since we can count the number of teams. 'Victorious' is an adjective and not a noun. There are no uncountable nouns in the sentence.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    The Portuguese were the first to reach India.
    Solution
    Common nouns are words that name general people, places, things and ideas whereas proper nouns name a specific person, place, or thing. For example, 'country' is a common noun and 'India' is a proper noun. The first letter of a proper noun is capitalized. From the given options, Option B is correct because Portuguese and India are proper nouns that name a group of people of a specific nationality and country, respectively. Option A is incorrect because Portuguese and India are both proper nouns, not common nouns. Portuguese is a proper noun that refers to people from a specific country, Portugal and India names a specific country. Option C is incorrect because India is a proper noun that names a specific country. Option D is incorrect because Portuguese is not a common noun, it's a proper noun that refers to citizens of the country Portugal.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    In the following sentence, a word has been italicized. To what category of noun does it belong?
    We all love honesty.
    Solution
    Abstract nouns denote a quality, an idea or state, as opposed to concrete objects. Most abstract nouns are uncountable. The italicized word 'honesty' refers to the state of being honest, hence it's an abstract as well as uncountable noun and option A is thus, correct. Option B is incorrect because honesty cannot be counted, it's a state of being which is abstract in nature and cannot be measured. Option C is incorrect because concrete nouns refer to physical objects whereas honesty is not a physical object. Option D is incorrect because honesty is not a physical object, nor can it be counted.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the countable and uncountable nouns from the following sentence:
    Five seats are reserved for them.
    Solution
    Countable nouns name things or beings that can be counted. For example, one apple, three bears, etc.
    Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, because they refer to quantity or mass. For example, some milk, some apple juice, etc.
    Option C: 'Seats' is a countable noun because it's been counted using the number 'five'. Hence this option is correct.

    Options A and D: The word 'them' is a pronoun and not a noun. Pronouns refer to nouns that have been mentioned before, in order to avoid repetition. Hence the word 'them' can't be a countable nor an uncountable noun.

    Option B: 'Seats' is not a mass noun/uncountable noun. The latter type cannot be counted using numbers. Since the number 'five' already precedes the noun 'seats', it's not uncountable.
    Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Pick out the countable and uncountable nouns from the following sentence:
    Kamala Das is good at poetry.
    Solution
    Proper nouns refer to a specific person, place or thing and hence cannot be counted. Kamala Das is a proper noun, hence it's uncountable. Poetry is the art of writing in rhythm, it's an abstract noun. Most of the abstract nouns are uncountable, poetry being one of them. Hence option B is correct, and option A is incorrect as these nouns cannot be counted, there can't be two Kamala Das or two poetry. Option C is incorrect because Kamala Das is an uncountable noun, it's a specific name of a person and cannot be modified by a number or quantifier. Similarly, Option D is incorrect as poetry cannot be counted, hence it's not a countable noun.
