A proper noun indicates or names a particular noun and are written using capital letters at the start of the word.    

2. Names a group of more than one person or thing- collective noun.

3. Add the sign of the possessive to the last name-  Joint ownership.

This is used to show the possession or ownership of the thing to the person or owner.

4. Names all persons, places, and things except particular ones- common noun.

A common noun is used for all nouns that are taken in general, not used in a specific manner.  

5. Two or more adjectives that modify the same noun- coordinate adjectives.

A coordinate adjective is used when two or more adjectives are used to modify the same noun in a sentence.  

6. Compares more than two things or actions- superlative degree.

The superlative degree is used to make comparisons between more than two things. Another is the comparative degree that compares two things.  

7. Two or more hyphenated words used as a single adjective- compound adjective.

A compound adjective is when two or more words are used together with a hyphen and describes the noun in the sentence. They act as adjectives in the sentence and since they are made of two or more words, they become compound adjectives.
