Whether you're a science nerd or a math fanatic, it's hard to deny the importance of the English language. Knowing the differences between verbs and adverbs, for instance, can make or break your resume for a future career path. But while many of us grew up learning about the English subject, it's still pretty difficult to master. After all, what the heck is a preposition? Or a conjunction? Well, it would take too long to explain the different "parts of speech," so today, we're going to focus on just one of them: nouns!
Nouns are pretty easy to learn about, right? We were all taught that nouns refer to people, places or things, but there are many different types of nouns. So generally, many nouns can be categorized as common nouns, like states, mountains or dogs. But what if we're talking about California, Mount Everest or a dog named Spunky? Well, then these would all be proper nouns since we're talking about names of specific things. There are also countable, singular, collective, abstract and possessive nouns, and we're going to talk about all of them in this educational quiz. So, we have just one question: Are you ready to get your noun game on?
