* Common Nouns: These are general names for people, places, things, or ideas. They are not specific to any one individual or item. Examples:
* People: child, teacher, doctor, friend
* Places: city, park, school, house
* Things: book, chair, phone, computer
* Ideas: love, happiness, freedom, justice
* Neuter Nouns: These are nouns that are neither masculine nor feminine. In English, this is mostly determined by the noun itself, not by an article. Examples:
* Objects: table, chair, book, car
* Concepts: peace, freedom, truth, justice
* Animals: fish, bird, snake (sometimes gendered depending on context)
Important Note: English does not have a grammatical gender system like many other languages. The concept of "neuter" is used more for semantic categories (meaning) than grammatical ones.
Examples of Common and Neuter Nouns:
* The cat (common and neuter)
* The table (common and neuter)
* The city (common and neuter)
* The idea (common and neuter)
To be sure:
* Common nouns: are used for everyday objects, people, and concepts.
* Neuter nouns: refer to things that are not specifically male or female.
