Name That Noun: Exploring Common, Proper, Collective & Abstract Nouns – Class 4 

This worksheet introduces learners to the four major types of nouns — common, proper, collective, and abstract — through well-scaffolded identification, rewriting, and labeling tasks. It helps children strengthen grammar awareness and build precision in everyday writing. 

Why Types of Nouns Matter in Grammar? 

Understanding noun types allows students to: 
1. Differentiate between general and specific naming words. 
2. Recognize feelings, groups, and objects through grammar categories. 
3. Improve sentence construction and paragraph writing. 
4. Expand their vocabulary and build clarity in both spoken and written English. 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

This worksheet contains five noun-focused exercises: 

🔎 Exercise 1 – Identify Common Nouns 
Students underline the general naming words in simple sentences like “The boy played in the garden” . 

📝 Exercise 2 – Fix and Rewrite Proper Nouns 
Learners find and capitalize proper nouns in sentences (e.g., “we visited the taj mahal”).

🔄 Exercise 3 – Spot Collective Nouns 
Children circle group nouns in sentences such as “The class was very quiet” or “A bunch of grapes…”.

🌟 Exercise 4 – Identify Abstract Nouns 
Students underline words that express ideas, feelings, or states like *happiness*, *bravery*, and *fear*. 

🔠 Exercise 5 – Label the Noun Type 
For each sentence, learners identify the underlined noun and mark it as common, proper, abstract, or collective (e.g., *Delhi*, *courage*, *team*).
