Dear teacher,
Finding Nouns, Verbs, and Subjects.
Definitions
– A noun is a word or set of words for a person, place, thing, or idea. A noun of more than one word (tennis court, gas station) is called a compound noun.
There are common nouns and proper nouns. Common nouns are words for a general class of people, places, things, and ideas (man, city, award, honesty). They are not capitalized. Proper nouns are always capitalized. They name specific people, places, and things (Joe, Chicago, Academy Award).
– A verb is a word or set of words that shows action (runs, is going, has been painting); feeling (loves, envies); or state of being (am, are, is, have been, was, seem).
We will use the standard of underlining subjects once and verbs twice.
Examples:
He ran around the block.
I like my friend.
They seem friendly.
– A subject is a person, place, thing, or idea that is being discussed or dealt with in a particular situation. It is often the focus of a conversation or piece of writing, and it is typically the noun or pronoun that performs the action of a verb in a sentence.
Example
In the sentence “The cat chased the mouse,” the subject is “cat,” because it is the one performing the action of chasing. In the sentence “John is running,” the subject is “John,” because he is the one doing the action of running.
Example:
– The cat is sleeping on the couch. (The subject is “cat.”)
– She is going to the store. (The subject is “she.”)
– The boys are playing soccer. (The subject is “boys.”)
In English, the subject is usually a noun or pronoun, but it can also be a noun phrase (a group of words that functions as a noun) or a clause (a group of words that contains a subject and a verb).
Thank you.
