NOUNS
Proper nouns are the names of particular people, places,
things or ideas. They are written with a capital letter at the beginning. Write a proper noun next to each common
noun below.

An abstract noun is the name of something that can’t be recognized by the five senses. You can’t touch, taste, hear, smell, or see it; it can only be recognized by the mind. Collective nouns are the names of nouns we use for collections of things. Nouns that are used to name general things are called common nouns.
Circle the proper nouns. Underline the abstract nouns. Square the collective nouns. Star the common
nouns. You
may do more than one action to each word.
