Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.
We are given a word bank with these nouns:
mailbox, lawyer, determine, oatmeal, cactus, fireman, seashore, marble, thought, sidewalk, wished, underwear, street, ladybug, turkey, patch, tasty, basket, donkeys, frame, jeans, carrots, decide, month, beautiful
Note: Some words like “determine”, “wished”, “decide” are verbs — but the instruction says “using nouns from above”. So we should only pick actual nouns. Let’s check which ones are truly nouns:
Nouns (things you can see or touch, or concepts):
