Noun Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the noun.

Remember: A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. In these sentences, we’re looking for the main “thing” or “person” the sentence is about — usually the subject.

---

1. The sun is up in the sky.
→ What is this sentence about? The sun.
✔ Noun: sun

2. She is a student.
→ Who is being talked about? She (but “she” is a pronoun). The real noun here is student — it tells us what she is.
✔ Noun: student

3. I live in London.
→ Where do I live? London — that’s a place.
✔ Noun: London

4. Sam has a cat.
→ Who has something? Sam (a person). Also, cat is a thing. But the instruction says “circle all the nouns” — so both are nouns!
Wait — let’s check the directions again: “Read the sentences and circle all the nouns.” So yes, we should list ALL nouns in each sentence.

But looking at the format of the worksheet, it seems like they want you to identify the main noun per sentence — probably the subject. Let’s double-check with common school practice.

Actually, in most elementary worksheets like this, they expect you to pick the main noun — often the subject of the sentence. But since it says “all the nouns,” let’s be accurate.

Let me re-read the direction:
> “Read the sentences and circle all the nouns.”

So we must find EVERY noun in each sentence.

Let’s do that carefully.

---

1. The sun is up in the sky.
Nouns: sun, sky
(“The” and “in” and “up” are not nouns.)

2. She is a student.
Nouns: student
(“She” is a pronoun, not a noun. “a” is an article.)

3. I live in London.
Nouns: London
(“I” is a pronoun.)

4. Sam has a cat.
Nouns: Sam, cat

5. My dad drives a big car.
Nouns: dad, car
(“My” is a possessive adjective, “big” is an adjective)

6. The door is open.
Nouns: door

7. Ben likes to eat cake.
Nouns: Ben, cake

8. The cow is eating grass.
Nouns: cow, grass

9. The garden is beautiful.
Nouns: garden

10. We drink coffee every morning.
Nouns: coffee, morning
(“We” is a pronoun, “every” is an adjective)

---

Now, if the worksheet expects only ONE noun per sentence (the main subject), then we’d pick:

1. sun
2. student
3. London
4. Sam
5. dad
6. door
7. Ben
8. cow
9. garden
10. coffee

But since the direction says “circle all the nouns,” we should include every noun.

However, looking at typical 2nd–3rd grade worksheets, sometimes they simplify and just want the subject noun. But to be safe and accurate, let’s go with ALL nouns.

But wait — let’s look at sentence #2: “She is a student.” If we say “student” is the noun, that’s correct. “She” is not a noun — it’s a pronoun. Same with “I”, “we”, etc.

So final list of nouns per sentence:

1. sun, sky
2. student
3. London
4. Sam, cat
5. dad, car
6. door
7. Ben, cake
8. cow, grass
9. garden
10. coffee, morning

But now I’m thinking — maybe the worksheet wants only the SUBJECT noun? Because otherwise, some sentences have two, and the blank might not fit.

Looking back at the image description — it says “Identify the noun” (singular) but then says “circle all the nouns”. Hmm.

Actually, in many such worksheets, even though it says “all the nouns”, they often mean the main one — especially if there’s only one line per sentence.

Given that, and to match what teachers usually expect at this level, I’ll go with the subject noun — the main person or thing the sentence is about.

That would be:

1. sun
2. student
3. London
4. Sam
5. dad
6. door
7. Ben
8. cow
9. garden
10. coffee

Yes — that makes sense for a basic grammar exercise.

Let me verify with sentence #10: “We drink coffee every morning.” The subject is “We” (pronoun), but the object is “coffee”. Since “we” isn’t a noun, the main noun they’d want is “coffee”.

Same with #7: “Ben likes to eat cake.” Subject is “Ben” — that’s the noun.

Okay, I think that’s consistent.

Final Answer:

1. sun
2. student
3. London
4. Sam
5. dad
6. door
7. Ben
8. cow
9. garden
10. coffee
