A plural noun is a noun that refers to more than one of something. For example, dogs is a plural noun as it refers to more than one dog. In contrast, dog is a singular noun as it refers to one of something.

Plural nouns can further be broken down into regular and irregular plural nouns.

Regular nouns become plural by adding an -s at the end.

For example:

Dog -> dogs

Table -> tables

Collective nouns

A collective noun is used for a group of people or things. The nouns are singular, but they refer to a group.

For example:

team

flock

choir

shoal

jury

It is a good time to point out that, in most cases, collective nouns use singular verbs as they are referring to a group of people or things as one single entity.

For example:

My family is sporty.

My school loves to play chess

A proper noun refers to a specific person, place or thing. They are always capitalised, whether they are at the beginning of a sentence or not.

For example:

Michael

Sardinia

United Nations

Uncle Desmond

Common nouns

A common noun is the word used for a person, place or thing. It is general and non-specific.

For example:

city

girl

computer

road

Common nouns tend not to be capitalised unless they begin a sentence.

As with many stipulations in English grammar, there can be some quirks. It is good to be aware of this.

With this in mind, it seems to be acceptable to capitalise some common nouns such as Manager. This is mainly applicable to job titles and names of departments.

For example:

Office manager

Director

Claims Department

President
