Abstract Nouns

e.g. beauty, friendship. 

We can form abstract nouns from common nouns (child – childhood); from verbs (know – knowledge); and from adjectives (happy – happiness).

Collective Nouns
A collective noun is a name we use for a number of people, animals or things which we group together and speak of as a whole. 

For example: a bunch of bananas, a litter of puppies.
