Grade 2 language worksheets on parts of speech, including a noun sorting activity and a noun quiz, designed by Teacher Resource Cabin.

Let’s solve the problems on the worksheet step by step.

First, look at the “NOUNS” sorting activity:

We are told:
> A noun is a person, place, or thing.

We need to sort these words into three columns: Person, Place, and Thing.

List of words to sort:
- dentist
- pencil
- library
- television
- school
- teacher
- hat
- park
- apple
- store
- firefighter
- brother

Now let’s go one by one:

✔ Person (someone you can name or identify as a human):
- dentist → yes, a job/person
- teacher → yes
- firefighter → yes
- brother → yes

✔ Place (a location where you can go):
- library → yes
- school → yes
- park → yes
- store → yes

✔ Thing (an object you can hold or use — not alive, not a place):
- pencil → yes
- television → yes
- hat → yes
- apple → yes (it’s food, but still a thing)

So now we fill in the table:

| Person | Place | Thing |
|---------------|-----------|---------------|
| dentist | library | pencil |
| teacher | school | television |
| firefighter | park | hat |
| brother | store | apple |

Now, the “NOUN QUIZ”:

Question 1: What is a noun?
Options:
- ☐ A person, place, or thing. ← ✔ This is correct!
- ☐ A descriptive word. ← That’s an adjective.
- ☐ An action word. ← That’s a verb.

✔️ So check the first box.

Question 2: Circle the noun in the sentence below.
Sentence: *I love to play on the playground.*

What’s the noun? Let’s break it down:
- I → pronoun
- love → verb
- to play → verb phrase
- on → preposition
- the → article
- playground → this is a PLACE → so it’s a NOUN!

✔️ Circle playground

---

Question 3: Circle the nouns in the sentence below.
Sentence: *I am going to give my teacher an apple.*

Find all nouns:
- I → pronoun
- am → verb
- going → verb
- to give → verb
- my → possessive pronoun
- teacher → PERSON → noun ✔
- an → article
- apple → THING → noun ✔

✔️ Circle teacher and apple

---

Question 4: Write three examples of nouns.

You can pick any three from our sorted list above! For example:
- teacher
- school
- pencil

(Any three valid nouns work!)
