There are several kinds of nouns based on different classifications. Here are some common types
🔮 Compound Proper Nouns
These are specific names composed of two or more words that act as a single unit (e.g., New York City, United States of America, Red Cross).
🔮 Appositive Nouns
These are nouns or noun phrases placed next to another noun or pronoun to provide additional information or clarification (e.g., My friend Jane, the painter, is coming over.).
🔮 Predicate Nouns
These are nouns or noun phrases that follow a linking verb and rename or describe the subject of a sentence (e.g., She is a doctor. "Doctor" renames "She" and is the predicate noun).
🔮 Subject Nouns
These are nouns or noun phrases that perform the action of the verb in a sentence or clause (e.g., The cat chased the mouse. "Cat" is the subject noun).
🔮 Direct Object Nouns
These are nouns or noun phrases that receive the action of the verb directly (e.g., She wrote a letter. "Letter" is the direct object noun).
🔮 Indirect Object Nouns
These are nouns or noun phrases that indicate to whom or for whom the action of the verb is done (e.g., She gave him a book. "Him" is the indirect object noun).
