Identifying Nouns in Sentences worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve this step by step.

Task:

We are asked to identify the noun(s) in each sentence and drag them into the corresponding numbered boxes in order. The numbers in the boxes (1 to 7) correspond to the sentence numbers.

---

Step 1: Understand what a noun is.

A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea.

Now, let’s go through each sentence one by one and identify the nouns.

---

Sentence 1: *He is sitting on a chair.*

- "He" – pronoun (not a noun)
- "chair" – noun (a thing)

✔ Noun: chair

---

Sentence 2: *Where are my pens?*

- "Where" – adverb (not a noun)
- "my" – possessive adjective
- "pens" – noun (plural of pen; things)

✔ Noun: pens

---

Sentence 3: *The cats are playing.*

- "The" – article
- "cats" – noun (animals; plural)

✔ Noun: cats

---

Sentence 4: *The child is drawing.*

- "The" – article
- "child" – noun (person)

✔ Noun: child

---

Sentence 5: *She is feeding the hens.*

- "She" – pronoun
- "feeding" – verb (present participle)
- "the" – article
- "hens" – noun (animals; plural)

✔ Noun: hens

---

Sentence 6: *A farmer planted some seeds.*

- "A" – article
- "farmer" – noun (person)
- "planted" – verb
- "some" – determiner
- "seeds" – noun (things)

✔ Nouns: farmer, seeds

> Since there are two nouns, we need to list both in order.

So: farmer, seeds

---

Sentence 7: *We miss going to school.*

- "We" – pronoun
- "miss" – verb
- "going" – gerund (verb form acting as noun, but not a noun here — it's the object of "miss")
- "to" – preposition
- "school" – noun (place)

✔ Noun: school

---

Now, fill in the boxes:

We have:

1. chair
2. pens
3. cats
4. child
5. hens
6. farmer, seeds
7. school

But note: the boxes are labeled with numbers, and we need to drag the nouns in order. So for sentence 6, we write both nouns in order.

---

Final Answer:

| 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. |
|----|----|----|----|
| chair | pens | cats | child |
| 5. | 6. | 6. | 7. |
| hens | farmer | seeds | school |

Wait! There’s an error in the table layout.

Looking at the image:

There are 7 sentences, but only 7 boxes arranged as:

- Row 1: 1., 2., 3., 4.
- Row 2: 5., 6., 6., 7.

Wait — two boxes labeled "6." That seems like a typo.

But actually, likely it's meant to be:

- 1, 2, 3, 4
- 5, 6, 7

But it shows 6 twice, so probably a formatting error.

But since there are 7 sentences, and 7 boxes, let’s assume:

Box 1 → sentence 1
Box 2 → sentence 2
Box 3 → sentence 3
Box 4 → sentence 4
Box 5 → sentence 5
Box 6 → sentence 6
Box 7 → sentence 7

And the second "6." is a mistake — should be "7."

But in the image, it's written:

```
1. 2. 3. 4.
5. 6. 6. 7.
```

This is confusing.

But since sentence 6 has two nouns, and the box is labeled "6.", we must put both nouns in that box.

So likely, the layout is:

- Box 1: sentence 1
- Box 2: sentence 2
- Box 3: sentence 3
- Box 4: sentence 4
- Box 5: sentence 5
- Box 6: sentence 6 (with two nouns)
- Box 7: sentence 7

Even though it says "6." twice, probably it's a typo.

So we proceed.

---

Final Answer in Boxes:

1. chair
2. pens
3. cats
4. child
5. hens
6. farmer, seeds
7. school

---

✔ Final Answer:

| 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. |
|----|----|----|----|
| chair | pens | cats | child |
| 5. | 6. | 6. | 7. |
| hens | farmer | seeds | school |

Wait — again, two "6." boxes. But since sentence 6 has two nouns, we can't split them between two boxes.

Possibility: The second "6." is a typo and should be "7."

Alternatively, perhaps the box labeled "6." is for sentence 6, and the other "6." is a mistake.

But since there are 7 sentences, and 7 boxes, the correct mapping is:

- Box 1 → sentence 1
- Box 2 → sentence 2
- Box 3 → sentence 3
- Box 4 → sentence 4
- Box 5 → sentence 5
- Box 6 → sentence 6
- Box 7 → sentence 7

So the layout is likely misprinted.

Assuming the boxes are:

1. [ ]
2. [ ]
3. [ ]
4. [ ]
5. [ ]
6. [ ]
7. [ ]

Then:

1. chair
2. pens
3. cats
4. child
5. hens
6. farmer, seeds
7. school

---

✔ Correct Answer:

| 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. |
|----|----|----|----|
| chair | pens | cats | child |
| 5. | 6. | 7. | |
| hens | farmer, seeds | school | |

But since the image has two "6." labels, maybe the second "6." is meant to be "7." — likely a typo.

---

Final Answer (as per instructions):

Fill the boxes as follows:

1. chair
2. pens
3. cats
4. child
5. hens
6. farmer, seeds
7. school

So in the grid:

- Box 1: chair
- Box 2: pens
- Box 3: cats
- Box 4: child
- Box 5: hens
- Box 6: farmer, seeds
- Box 7: school

Even if the label is duplicated, the content is correct.

✔ Summary:

| Sentence | Nouns Identified |
|---------|------------------|
| 1. He is sitting on a chair. | chair |
| 2. Where are my pens? | pens |
| 3. The cats are playing. | cats |
| 4. The child is drawing. | child |
| 5. She is feeding the hens. | hens |
| 6. A farmer planted some seeds. | farmer, seeds |
| 7. We miss going to school. | school |

---

✔ Final Answer for the Boxes:

1. chair
2. pens
3. cats
4. child
5. hens
6. farmer, seeds
7. school

> Note: For sentence 6, both nouns are included in the same box since they belong to the same sentence.
