Q2: Read the sentences. Underline the Proper nouns, circle the common nouns, and cross out the Adjectives.

Let’s analyze the two sentences:

#### a) *Lina is my sister. She is very tall.*

- Lina → Proper noun → Underline
- sister → Common noun → Circle
- She → Pronoun (not a noun, so ignore)
- very → Adverb (modifies "tall") → Not an adjective, but “tall” is.
- tall → Adjective → Cross out

So:
> Lina is my sister. She is very tall.

→ Underline: Lina
→ Circle: sister
→ Cross out: tall

---

#### b) *Meera likes these beautiful flowers.*

- Meera → Proper noun → Underline
- likes → Verb → Ignore
- these → Demonstrative pronoun → Not a noun
- beautiful → Adjective → Cross out
- flowers → Common noun → Circle

So:
> Meera likes these beautiful flowers.

→ Underline: Meera
→ Circle: flowers
→ Cross out: beautiful

---

✔ Summary of Q2:

a)
Lina is my sister. She is very tall.
→ Underline: Lina
→ Circle: sister
→ Cross out: tall

b)
Meera likes these beautiful flowers.
→ Underline: Meera
→ Circle: flowers
→ Cross out: beautiful
