We have two kinds of nouns.
Proper nouns name specific places, people, and things. Proper nouns are always capitalized.

By the way, English is a proper noun -- the name of a specific language -- and should be capitalized.

Of course, I can help you understand the different kinds of nouns! In the English language, nouns are words that refer to people, places, things, or ideas. There are several types of nouns that you may come across in 7th grade. Here are some common ones:
1. Common Nouns: These are nouns that refer to ordinary, general objects, people, or places. For example, "dog," "book," and "city" are all common nouns because they can refer to any dog, book, or city.
2. Proper Nouns: These nouns are used for specific people, places, or things and usually begin with a capital letter. Examples include "Samantha," "London," and "Eiffel Tower." They are specific and unique.
3. Concrete Nouns: Concrete nouns refer to objects or things that you can physically perceive with your senses. Examples include "table," "car," and "tree."
4. Abstract Nouns: Abstract nouns represent ideas, qualities, or emotions that are intangible and cannot be seen or touched. Examples include "happiness," "love," and "knowledge."
5. Collective Nouns: These nouns refer to a group or collection of people or things. Examples include "team," "audience," and "herd." Collective nouns can be singular or plural depending on how they are used in a sentence.
