Classify Nouns

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning tool for identifying and categorizing common and proper nouns. It starts with a box containing a mix of both types of nouns, and students are instructed to circle the common nouns. Below the box, there are sentences that contain both common and proper nouns, and the task is for students to read each sentence and place the nouns into the correct category-either “Common” or “Proper” in the provided columns.

The aim of the worksheet is to teach students the difference between common nouns, which are general names for things, and proper nouns, which are specific names for particular individuals, places, or brands and are capitalized. By sorting nouns from given sentences, students enhance their ability to discern the contextual usage of nouns. This exercise helps build grammatical accuracy in writing and reinforces the importance of capitalization rules for proper nouns. It is also a practical activity for developing careful reading skills as students must identify nouns within the structure of a sentence.
