Here is the step-by-step breakdown to solve this worksheet:
Step 1: Understand the Rules
The worksheet asks us to sort nouns into two categories:
1.
Common Nouns: These are general names for people, places, or things (e.g., "city," "boy," "car"). These should be colored
Red.
2.
Proper Nouns: These are specific names for people, places, or things. They almost always start with a capital letter (e.g., "Chicago," "Tom," "Toyota"). These should be colored
Green.
Step 2: Analyze Each Apple
