Nouns worksheet for students to identify and mark nouns from a list of 16 words.

Let’s go through the list one by one and decide which words are nouns.

A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea.

We’ll check each word:

1. shirt → a thing you wear → ✔ noun
2. bottom → can be a thing (like the bottom of a cup) → ✔ noun
3. hanger → a thing you hang clothes on → ✔ noun
4. tree → a plant, a thing in nature → ✔ noun
5. monkey → an animal, a living thing → ✔ noun
6. her → this is a pronoun (replaces “she”) → ✘ not a noun
7. pan → a cooking thing → ✔ noun
8. eye → part of your body → ✔ noun
9. sweet → usually an adjective (describes taste), but can be a noun (like “a sweet” = candy). In basic grammar for kids, it’s often treated as an adjective. Let’s be safe — if we’re being strict, “sweet” as a noun is less common at this level → ✘ probably not expected here
10. outside → can be a noun (“the outside of the house”), but also an adverb or preposition. For young learners, it’s tricky. Often taught as not a noun first → ✘ skip for now
11. room → a place inside a building → ✔ noun
12. so → this is an adverb or conjunction → ✘ not a noun
13. without → a preposition → ✘ not a noun
14. simple → an adjective → ✘ not a noun
15. burger → a type of food → ✔ noun
16. look → can be a verb or noun (“take a look”), but in basic lists like this, it’s often treated as a verb → ✘ probably not expected as a noun here

Now let’s double-check the ones we’re unsure about:

- sweet: If the worksheet includes “candy” as a noun, then “sweet” could be too — but since it’s listed with other clear nouns, and “sweet” is more commonly an adjective at this level, we’ll leave it out unless told otherwise.
- outside: Same issue — it *can* be a noun, but it’s not the primary use for beginners.
- look: Again, possible, but usually taught as a verb first.

So, safest answers (clear nouns):

✔ 1. shirt
✔ 2. bottom
✔ 3. hanger
✔ 4. tree
✔ 5. monkey
✔ 7. pan
✔ 8. eye
✔ 11. room
✔ 15. burger

That’s 9 words.

Wait — let’s reconsider #9 “sweet”. In British English, “a sweet” means a candy. But in American English, it’s less common. Since the worksheet doesn’t specify, and to keep it simple for a student, we’ll stick with the most obvious nouns.

Also, #10 “outside” — if you say “I went to the outside”, it’s awkward. Usually “outside” is used as an adverb (“go outside”) or adjective (“outside door”). So better to skip.

Final decision: Put X next to:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 15

Final Answer:
Put an X in the boxes next to: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 15
