  2. Nouns Bob • A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. • There is a difference between common and proper nouns. • Common nouns are non capitalized words that refer to a person, place, thing, or idea. • Ex: book, sand, cake, etc. • Proper nouns are capitalized nouns usually names of things. • Ex: Abel, Michael, Rony, Sara, etc. • Concrete nouns are nouns that can perceived by one or more of the senses. • Ex: poison ivy, clouds, sugar, computer, etc. • Abstract nouns are nouns that names an idea, feeling, a quality, or a characteristic. • Ex: freedom, well-being, beauty, etc.

  4. Adjectives Adjectives are used to describe something in more detail such as to describe the deliciousness of a hamburger.

These are called Articles. Articles are used in ways such as saying, A hamburger, or A box of fries. There are also Demonstrative adjectives such as, do you want these French fries, or do you want this hamburger. It is also wise not to get confused with pronouns and adjectives because they are different in many ways such as when some words are used as pronouns, these words take the place of nouns or other pronouns. When used as adjectives, they modify nouns or pronouns.

I think I remember what happened at the party.

  6. adverbs • An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. • Adverbs modifying verbs are found by these questions: where? When? How? To what extent? Ex: we live there.
