What are the types of nouns?

Nouns, also known as naming words, are the first speech we learn in English grammar classes. Nouns can be referred to as anything that we see, touch, smell, hear, taste, and hold. They are the part of the speech which comprises words used to name people, animals, objects, places, School Analytics, and ideas. Additionally, every sentence contains a noun and has a different role. Nouns can be used as a subject, direct or indirect, adjectives, and verbs. Following are the types of nouns-
