Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.

We are given a list of words in the “Help box” and need to sort them into two categories:
→ Proper Nouns
→ Countable Nouns

---

Step 1: Understand what each category means

- Proper Noun: A specific name for a person, place, thing, or day — always starts with a capital letter. Examples: *Anuj*, *Abha*, *Red Fort*, *Thursday*.

- Countable Noun: Things you can count (you can say “one”, “two”, “three” of them). They usually have singular and plural forms. Examples: *Pens*, *Table*, *Girls*, *Sugar* (if we mean packets or spoons), etc.

Note: Some nouns might fit both categories — but here, we’re asked to put them under correct headings. Since the worksheet separates them, we’ll assign each word to only one category based on its most common use in this context.

Also note: Abstract nouns like *Love*, *Hate*, *Laughter*, *Childhood* are NOT countable (you can’t say “two loves” in normal usage) — so they don’t go under Countable Nouns. And they’re not proper nouns either — so they may not be used at all? Wait — let’s check the instruction again.

The instruction says:
> Put the nouns given in the help box under the correct headings.

It doesn’t say every noun must be used — but looking at the layout, it seems we should categorize as many as possible under these two headings. But actually, some nouns won’t fit either — that’s okay. We just sort the ones that do.

Wait — let me re-read: The worksheet has only two columns: Proper Nouns and Countable Nouns. So we must decide for each word whether it belongs in one of those two — or maybe neither? But since it’s a school worksheet, likely all words are meant to be sorted into one of the two.

But that’s not true — for example, “Hate” is an abstract uncountable noun — it doesn’t belong in either. Hmm.

Actually, looking at standard grammar worksheets for Class 5, sometimes they expect students to recognize which nouns are proper and which are countable — and leave out others if they don’t fit. But in this case, the lines provided suggest we fill in as many as we can under each heading.

Alternatively — perhaps the worksheet expects us to classify ALL nouns from the help box into these two categories — meaning some might be counted as countable even if abstract? No, that wouldn’t be accurate.

Let me think differently.

Perhaps the intention is:

- Under Proper Nouns: Only names that are capitalized and refer to specific entities.
- Under Countable Nouns: All other nouns that can be counted — including concrete objects, people, animals, etc.

Abstract nouns like Love, Hate, Laughter, Childhood — these are uncountable → so they don’t go under Countable Nouns. And they’re not proper → so they might not be placed anywhere? But that seems odd.

Wait — look at the Help Box again:

Words include:
Anuj, Stars, Pens, Life, Hate,
Petrol, Abha, Table, Swarm, Shoal,
Hair, Milk, Chair, May, Laughter,
Cluster, Thursday, Sugar, Girls, Red Fort,
Tubelight, Love, Army, Constellation,
Childhood

Now, let’s pick out the Proper Nouns first — these are easy because they are capitalized and are specific names:

✔ Anuj (person’s name)
✔ Abha (person’s name)
✔ May (could be month — proper noun)
✔ Thursday (day of week — proper noun)
✔ Red Fort (specific monument — proper noun)

What about “Army”? It’s capitalized — but is it a proper noun? In general, “army” is a common noun unless referring to a specific army like “Indian Army”. Here it’s written as “Army” — possibly intended as a proper noun? But in most contexts, without more info, it’s treated as common. Let’s hold off.

“Constellation” — not capitalized — so not proper.

“Stars” — not specific — not proper.

So safest Proper Nouns:
→ Anuj, Abha, May, Thursday, Red Fort

Is “May” definitely a proper noun? Yes — when referring to the month. If it were the verb “may”, it wouldn’t be capitalized. Here it’s capitalized — so yes.

Now, what about “Army”? In some contexts, “the Army” refers to a national military force — e.g., “He joined the Army.” — then it’s treated as a proper noun. But strictly speaking, it’s still a common noun unless part of a title. Given this is Class 5 level, probably not considered proper. Let’s skip it for now.

So Proper Nouns:
Anuj, Abha, May, Thursday, Red Fort

That’s 5.

Now, Countable Nouns — things you can count.

Let’s go through the rest:

Stars → yes, you can count stars → countable
Pens → yes → countable
Life → abstract, uncountable → no
Hate → abstract, uncountable → no
Petrol → uncountable (liquid) → no
Table → yes → countable
Swarm → yes (a swarm of bees) → countable
Shoal → yes (a shoal of fish) → countable
Hair → tricky — individual hairs are countable, but “hair” as a mass is uncountable. In school grammar, often treated as uncountable. But sometimes accepted as countable. Let’s see — if we say “I found three hairs on my shirt” — yes, countable. But typically in such exercises, “hair” is considered uncountable. I’ll mark it as uncountable for safety.
Milk → uncountable → no
Chair → yes → countable
Laughter → uncountable → no
Cluster → yes (a cluster of grapes) → countable
Sugar → uncountable (as substance), but if meaning “spoons of sugar” — countable. Again, in basic grammar, often treated as uncountable. But wait — in the list, it’s “Sugar” — same as “Milk”. Probably uncountable.
Girls → yes → countable
Tubelight → yes → countable (you can have two tubelights)
Love → uncountable → no
Army → if we consider soldiers, you can count armies? Or members? Actually, “an army” is countable — you can have two armies. So yes — countable.
Constellation → yes → countable (there are 88 constellations)
Childhood → uncountable → no

Also, “Cluster” — already listed.

And “Swarm”, “Shoal” — collective nouns, but still countable.

So let’s list all Countable Nouns from the box:

✔ Stars
✔ Pens
✔ Table
✔ Swarm
✔ Shoal
✔ Chair
✔ Cluster
✔ Girls
✔ Tubelight
✔ Army
✔ Constellation

What about “Sugar”? Let’s double-check. In many textbooks, “sugar” is taught as uncountable. Same with “milk”, “petrol”, “hair”, “life”, etc.

But “girls” is clearly countable.

Also, “pens”, “table”, “chair” — obvious.

Now, what about “Hair”? As mentioned, if we take it as individual strands, it’s countable — but in everyday usage, “I have brown hair” — uncountable. In school worksheets, usually marked as uncountable. So I’ll exclude it.

Similarly, “Milk”, “Petrol”, “Life”, “Hate”, “Laughter”, “Love”, “Childhood” — all uncountable abstract or mass nouns → not countable.

So our Countable Nouns list:

Stars, Pens, Table, Swarm, Shoal, Chair, Cluster, Girls, Tubelight, Army, Constellation

That’s 11.

But wait — did we miss any?

What about “Sugar”? Let me check online or recall — in CBSE/ICSE Class 5, “sugar” is generally considered uncountable. So we leave it out.

Similarly, “Hair” — uncountable.

Now, back to Proper Nouns — we had:

Anuj, Abha, May, Thursday, Red Fort

Is “Army” a proper noun? Unlikely — unless specified. So no.

What about “Constellation”? Not capitalized — so not proper.

Okay.

But wait — in the Help Box, “Red Fort” is written with capitals — so definitely proper.

“May” — capitalized — month — proper.

“Thursday” — day — proper.

“Anuj”, “Abha” — names — proper.

Any others?

What about “Girls”? No — common noun.

“Pens”? No.

So only 5 proper nouns.

But let’s count how many total words are in the help box.

List:

Row 1: Anuj, Stars, Pens, Life, Hate → 5
Row 2: Petrol, Abha, Table, Swarm, Shoal → 5
Row 3: Hair, Milk, Chair, May, Laughter → 5
Row 4: Cluster, Thursday, Sugar, Girls, Red Fort → 5
Row 5: Tubelight, Love, Army, Constellation, Childhood → 5
Total: 25 words.

We have:

Proper Nouns: 5 (Anuj, Abha, May, Thursday, Red Fort)

Countable Nouns: Let’s list them again carefully:

From Row 1: Stars, Pens → 2
Row 2: Table, Swarm, Shoal → 3
Row 3: Chair → 1 (Hair and Milk excluded)
Row 4: Cluster, Girls → 2 (Sugar excluded)
Row 5: Tubelight, Army, Constellation → 3
Total Countable: 2+3+1+2+3 = 11

Remaining words: 25 - 5 - 11 = 9 words that are neither proper nor countable — which makes sense: Life, Hate, Petrol, Hair, Milk, Laughter, Sugar, Love, Childhood — all uncountable or abstract.

So the worksheet likely expects us to fill only the ones that fit.

Therefore, final sorting:

Proper Nouns:
Anuj, Abha, May, Thursday, Red Fort

Countable Nouns:
Stars, Pens, Table, Swarm, Shoal, Chair, Cluster, Girls, Tubelight, Army, Constellation

Now, to write them neatly under the headings.

Note: Order doesn’t matter, but we can list them as they appear or alphabetically — but since the worksheet doesn’t specify, we can list in order of appearance or group logically.

For clarity, I’ll list them in the order they appear in the help box for each category.

Proper Nouns in order of appearance:
Anuj (first row), Abha (second row), May (third row), Thursday (fourth row), Red Fort (fourth row)

Countable Nouns in order of appearance:
Stars (row1), Pens (row1), Table (row2), Swarm (row2), Shoal (row2), Chair (row3), Cluster (row4), Girls (row4), Tubelight (row5), Army (row5), Constellation (row5)

Yes.

Final Answer:

Proper Nouns:
Anuj, Abha, May, Thursday, Red Fort

Countable Nouns:
Stars, Pens, Table, Swarm, Shoal, Chair, Cluster, Girls, Tubelight, Army, Constellation
