Let’s go through each one:
#### 🟦
Nouns (person, place, or thing):
-
feet – part of the body → noun

candy – food → noun
-
dog – animal → noun

paper – object → noun
✔ Nouns List:
feet, book, boy, bat, desk, candy, dog, paper
> Note: "bat" could be a verb ("to bat"), but here it's listed as a noun (like "a bat flying"). In context, it's more likely being used as a noun.
