Love is a pretty "abstract" concept, don't you think? It's also an abstract noun, which means you can't interact with it using your senses. These types of nouns also refer to emotions and feelings.

1. I
   Museum of Modern Art
   Friend
2. Today
   Going

Proper nouns refer to specific people, places or events, some of which are important in our society. The Museum of Modern Art is an example of a proper noun, as is the Sahara Desert.

A concrete noun refers to something you can physically touch with you hands or perceive with your senses. You can touch a hairbrush and see it with your eyes, so that makes it a concrete noun.

Do you how there's no space in between the two words that make up the word "meatball"? A compound noun combines two words to form a single word.

1. Pronoun
   Compound
   Concrete
2. Verbal

A collective noun refers to a word that signifies a group of things. So in this context, a choir is made up of a group of people, which collectively makes it one whole choir group.

1. South America
   Jason
   Empire State Building
2. Board of members
   Yosemite

"Board of members" is a pretty vague compound noun here. It's not referring to a specific group of "board of members," so it could be anyone. Thus, that's what makes it a common noun and not a proper one.

   Me
   You
2. Itself
   Town

The word "town" is a common noun, not a pronoun. A pronoun usually refers to someone or something in a sentence, without using its proper noun form. For instance, "James likes ice cream, so he went to buy some." "He" is the pronoun here, and it refers to the proper noun, James.

   Metal
   Decision
2. Arrival
   Building

Verbal nouns are formed using verbs. Take "decision," for example. It comes from the verb "to decide," but we could use it in this sentence: "The candidate has not yet made his decision." The word "metal" in this question is a common noun.

1. Gerund
   Proper
   Concrete
2. Abstract

1. Laugh
   Team
   Bread
2. Pickpocket
   Swimming

Gerunds are formed from verbs like start, stop or change. When you add an "-ing" at the end, then it becomes a gerund. For example, "Swimming in the lake today is a great idea" has the gerund "swimming."

   Hyphenated compound noun
   It's not a noun.
2. Open compound noun
   Abstract noun

   Food
   Rain
2. Rice
   All of the above.

   Walt Disney: collective noun

Walt Disney was known for many classics, such as "Dumbo" and "Fantasia," but he's also a proper noun. This is because proper nouns signify specific people, places and things — and we don't mean just important ones like Walt Disney!
