Let's solve the
Grade 1 Nouns Worksheet step by step.
---
🔹 What is a noun?
As stated in the box on the worksheet:
>
Nouns are a person, a place, or a thing.
So, we need to
circle the noun(s) in each sentence — that means find the words that represent:
- A
person (like: boy, Sam, Dad)
- A
place (like: zoo, car)
- A
thing (like: cat, ball, bus)
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence and identify the noun(s):
---
1. The cat is purring.
-
cat → a thing (an animal)
✔
👉
Circle: cat
---
2. The boy kicked the ball.
-
boy → a person
✔
-
ball → a thing
✔
👉
Circle: boy, ball
---
3. Sam plays with his friend Ben.
-
Sam → a person
✔
-
Ben → a person
✔
(Note: "friend" is a noun too, but it's used here as a description of Ben. Still, both names are nouns.)
👉
Circle: Sam, Ben
---
4. The bus stops at the red light.
-
bus → a thing
✔
-
light → a thing
✔
(“red” is an adjective describing the light)
👉
Circle: bus, light
---
5. We saw tigers at the zoo.
-
tigers → things (animals)
✔
-
zoo → a place
✔
("We" is a pronoun, not a noun in this context)
👉
Circle: tigers, zoo
---
6. These flowers are beautiful.
-
flowers → things (plants)
✔
("beautiful" is an adjective)
👉
Circle: flowers
---
7. Dad drives us carefully in the car.
-
Dad → a person
✔
-
car → a thing
✔
("us" is a pronoun; "carefully" is an adverb)
👉
Circle: Dad, car
---
✔ Final Answer Summary:
1. The
cat is purring.
2. The
boy kicked the
ball.
3.
Sam plays with his friend
Ben.
4. The
bus stops at the
red light.
5. We saw
tigers at the
zoo.
6. These
flowers are beautiful.
7.

car.

📝 Explanation:
Each time, we look for
people,
places, or
things. Words like *the*, *is*, *kicked*, *are* are not nouns — they're articles, verbs, or adverbs. Names of people (Sam, Ben), animals (cat, tigers), objects (ball, bus, car), and locations (zoo, red light) are all nouns.
This helps young learners recognize basic parts of speech and build vocabulary!
