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)
✔
-
Answer: Circle
cat
---
2. The boy kicked the ball.
- "boy" → a
person ✔
- "ball" → a
thing ✔
-
Answer: Circle
boy and
ball
---
3. Sam plays with his friend Ben.
- "Sam" → a
person ✔
- "Ben" → a
person ✔
- "friend" → also refers to a
person, but here it's used as a noun referring to Ben.
- So both
Sam and
Ben are nouns (names of people).
-
Answer: Circle
Sam and
Ben

4. The bus stops at the red light.
- "bus" → a
thing ✔
- "light" → a
thing ✔

light
---
5. We saw tigers at the zoo.
- "tigers" →
things (animals)
✔
- "zoo" → a
place ✔
- "We" is a pronoun (not a noun), so not circled.
-
Answer: Circle
tigers and
zoo
---
6. These flowers are beautiful.
- "flowers" →
things (plants)
✔
- "These" is a demonstrative pronoun, not a noun.
-
Answer: Circle

7. Dad drives us carefully in the car.
- "Dad" → a
person ✔
- "car" → a
thing ✔
- "us" is a pronoun, not a noun.

car
