Nouns

A noun is a naming word.
Three types you should know:
Collective, common and proper nouns.
So come on let’s go.

Which one needs capitals?
Tell me, do you know?
Let’s sing this song together 
And the answer may show.

Common nouns are the general names
Like man, dog or clock.
Collective nouns name groups of things 
Like pride, herd or flock.
Proper nouns are particular people, 
Places or things
Like Bethany or Mister, London or Thames.

The home of Big Ben,
