These things can represent a person, animal, place, idea, emotion – almost anything that you can think of. Dog, Sam, we, ship, Chicago, courage and spaceship are all nouns.  \nTypes of Nouns  \n􀁸 Proper Nouns-Proper nouns have two distinct features: They name specific one-of-akind items, and they begin with capital letters, no matter where they occur within a sentence. By one-of-a-kind items, we mean items, people or places that are unique.  \no Examples include Oreos, Burj Khalifa, Ariana Grande, Marina Bay Sands or Tommy  \n􀁸 Abstract/Concrete Nouns-Abstract nouns are those referring to ideas, concepts, emotions, and other “things” you can’t physically interact with. You can’t see, taste, touch, smell, or hear something named with an abstract noun.  \no Examples would be stupidity, ideas, intelligence, dreams, creativity and belonging.  \n􀁸 Collective Nouns-Collective nouns are names for a collection or several people or things. A collective noun is a word that refers to a group. It can be either singular or plural but is usually used in the singular form.  \n􀁸 Countable- In English grammar, countable nouns are individual people, animals, places, things, or ideas which can be counted.  \n􀁸 Uncountable Nouns-Uncountable nouns are not individual objects, so they cannot be counted such as water or air.  \n􀁸 Common-A common noun is a noun denoting a group of objects or a concept as opposed to a specific or individual.  \no A common noun is a non-specific person, place, or thing. Examples would be dog, girl, school, exam and alien  \nGerund Phrase  \n􀁸 A gerund is a noun formed with a verb ending in-ing. Words like swimming, tying, dreaming, eating, fishing, loving and drinking can all be used as gerunds.  \n􀁸 Now that we’ve refreshed your memory, let’s look at the gerund phrase. A gerund phrase always follows these rules:  \no Gerund phrases always start with gerunds ￫ E.g. loving chocolate  \no A gerund phrase always functions as a noun ￫ E.g. since the phrase “loving chocolate” is referring to the act of loving chocolate and as such is a noun  \no Gerund phrases are always subjects, objects, or subject complements in sentences  \no An example is,“Having drank four glasses of wine before driving the car with his wife and son inside, it was inevitable that an accident would happen.”  \no Gerund phrases might have “to” after the noun with-ing. The verb following the gerund phrase does not follow the “after to base form” rule, but instead is a verb in the continuous form.  \nInfinitives  \n􀁸 The basic form of a verb, without being in a particular tense or subject  \n􀁸 Remember that a verbal is a form of a verb that functions as something else in a sentence.  \n􀁸 An infinitive is a verbal that can function as a noun, adjective, or adverb. It is formed by using \"to\" + the verb  \no E.g “to eat” or “to  \nVerbs  \nVerbs are the action words in a sentence that describes what the subject is doing. Along with nouns, verbs are the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story about what is taking place.  \nAuxiliar","cbCaikVxNTqeN74x","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikVxNTqeN74x","pdf",1396760,"English","# Grammar\n## Parts of a Sentence\n## Nouns\n## Gerund Phrase\n## Infinitives\n## Verbs\n## Auxiliary Verbs\n## Stative Verbs\n## Modal Verbs\n## Phrasal Verbs","[{\"question\":\"What is the subject in a sentence, and what part of speech must it be?\",\"answer\":\"The subject is the sentence’s “main character” that does the action.
