Answer (2)
Let's go through each sentence and identify the nouns while also classifying their types.
Mohit and his mother visited the Church yesterday.
Mohit : Proper noun (a specific person's name).
mother : Common noun (a general term for a family member).
Church : Proper noun (a specific place of worship, when capitalized it often refers to a specific church).
The stars shine in the sky .
stars : Common noun (refers to objects in the sky, not specific ones).
sky : Common noun (refers to the area above the Earth, not specific).
A brown dog was sitting under the table .
dog : Common noun (refers to an animal, not a specific one).
table : Common noun (refers to a piece of furniture, not specific).
The guests walk down the flight of stairs carefully.
guests : Common noun (refers to people visiting someone, not specific individuals).
stairs : Common noun (refers to steps leading from one floor to another, not specific ones).
In summary, nouns can generally be classified into two types: proper nouns and common nouns. Proper nouns name specific one-of-a-kind items and are always capitalized, while common nouns are the general names for things and are not capitalized unless they start a sentence.
In each sentence, we identified both proper and common nouns. Proper nouns name specific individuals or places and are capitalized, while common nouns refer to general items and are not capitalized. Understanding the difference helps in recognizing the use of nouns in various contexts.
