1. Singular(http://www.lovetolearnplace.com/Grammar/singular&pluralnouns.html)

When a noun means one only, it is said to be singular.
Examples:  boy, girl, book, church, box

• The boy is like football

2. Plural (http://www.lovetolearnplace.com/Grammar/singular&pluralnouns.html)

The Prural of person is usually people (not persons), but we can use persons in legal contexts. When a noun means more than one, it is said to be plural.
Examples:  boys, girls, books, churches

• I know a person who works for your father

3. Countable (http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/nouns-un-countable_1.htm)

      Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count. For example: "pen". We can count pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here are some more countable nouns:

• dog, cat, animal, man, person
• bottle, box, litre
• coin, note, dollar
• cup, plate, fork
• table, chair, suitcase, bag

Countable nouns can be singular or plural:

• My dog is playing.
• My dogs are hungry.

4. Uncountable (http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/nouns-un-countable_2.htm)

     Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot count "milk" itself. Here are some more uncountable nouns:

• music, art, love, happiness
• advice, information, news
• furniture, luggage
• rice, sugar, butter, water
• electricity, gas, power
• money, currency

We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. For example:

• This news is very important.
• Your luggage looks heavy.

5. Possessive (http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/nouns-possessive.htm)

When we want to show that something belongs to somebody or something, we usually add 's to a singular noun and an apostrophe ' to a plural noun, for example:

• the boy's ball (one boy)
• the boys' ball (two or more boys)

Ø     Capitalizing words

1. Common/ General nouns (From book the Library

            A common noun refers to a category or a class of people, place, things, or idea. You don’t capitalize a common noun onless it begins a sentence.

Example:

• She is going to school

2.   Proper/ Specific nouns (http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/nouns-proper.htm)

A proper noun is the special word (or name) that we use for a person, place or organization, like John, Marie, London, France or Sony. A name is a noun, but a very special noun - a proper noun. Proper nouns have special rules.

Example :

• She is going to Borobudur School
