Nouns Word Search
This nouns word search sorts forty words by kind: proper noun and common noun, concrete and abstract, collective nouns like herd and flock, and the odd plurals geese, mice and oxen that skip the usual s.
A noun names a person, place, thing or idea. Concrete nouns name what you can see or touch, like London or a table; abstract nouns name what you cannot, like courage, freedom and honesty. Countable nouns take a number, three apples, while mass nouns such as water and sand take much or some instead. A proper noun names one particular person, place or day, so it starts with a capital letter: Monday, the Atlantic.
