In Korean grammar, there are three broad categories of nouns: individual, collective, and compound nouns. Individual nouns refer to single entities, such as people, animals or things. Collective nouns are used to refer to groups of entities, while compound nouns are formed by combining two or more individual nouns. It is important to have a good understanding of these different types of nouns in order to develop a solid foundation in Korean grammar.
