5. They team scored another point in the game.

⚠️ Note: There’s a typo here — it should probably be "Their team", but as written: *"They team"* is grammatically incorrect. However, we’ll treat it as intended.

Assuming it's meant to be "Their team", then:

- Nouns:
- *team* → group (thing/persons) → square around "team"
- *point* → thing → square around "point"
- *game* → thing → square around "game"

- Verbs:
- *scored* → action → underline "scored"

✔ Answer:
[team], [point], [game], *scored*

*(Note: "They team" is likely a mistake. If taken literally, "they" is a pronoun, not a noun, so only "team" is the noun.)*

7. I enjoy camping in the woods.

- Nouns:
- *woods* → place → square around "woods"

- Verbs:
- *enjoy* → action/state of being → underline "enjoy"
- *camping* → gerund (noun form), but here it's part of the object of "enjoy", so it's a noun, but not a verb.

But note: “enjoy” is the main verb. “Camping” is a noun (gerund), but not a verb in this sentence.

✔ Answer:
[woods], *enjoy*

🔍 Explanation:

- Nouns are things, people, or places. Look for words that answer "who?" or "what?"
- Verbs show action or state of being (e.g., jump, dance, was, like).
- Some words like "camping" or "sleeping" are gerunds (verbs used as nouns), but they are not verbs in these sentences because they're objects.
- In sentence 5, "They team" is likely a typo. It should probably be "Their team." But even if interpreted as "They [pronoun] + team," only "team" is a noun.
