6. Tim has a ruler.

Solution:



#### Step 1: Understand Nouns
- Common Nouns: These are general names for people, places, things, or ideas. They do not begin with a capital letter unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence.
- Proper Nouns: These are specific names for people, places, things, or ideas. They always begin with a capital letter.

#### Step 2: Identify Nouns in Each Sentence
We will analyze each sentence and underline the nouns (both common and proper).

1. Jack has a ball.
- Jack: Proper noun (specific name of a person).
- ball: Common noun (general object).
- Underlined: Jack has a ball.

2. Kelly has a flower.
- Kelly: Proper noun (specific name of a person).
- flower: Common noun (general object).
- Underlined: Kelly has a flower.

3. Anna has a pencil.
- Anna: Proper noun (specific name of a person).
- pencil: Common noun (general object).
- Underlined: Anna has a pencil.

4. George has a pen.

6. Tim has a ruler.

#### Final Answer:
Underline the nouns in each sentence as follows:

1. Jack has a ball.
2. Kelly has a flower.
3. Anna has a pencil.
4. George has a pen.
5. Tudy has a bag.
6. Tim has a ruler.

Explanation:


- Proper Nouns: These are capitalized names of specific individuals (e.g., Jack, Kelly, Anna, George, Tudy, Tim).
- Common Nouns: These are general names for objects (e.g., ball, flower, pencil, pen, bag, ruler).

By following this approach, we ensure that all nouns are correctly identified and underlined.
