Dianne-TX Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 On a worksheet today, dc had to circle all the nouns. My question is, what are all the nouns in the following sentence? I want to see if I'm thinking accurately or if the answer sheet is right. Thanks! I prefer pepperoni and onions on my pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) On a worksheet today, dc had to circle all the nouns. My question is, what are all the nouns in the following sentence? I want to see if I'm thinking accurately or if the answer sheet is right. Thanks! I prefer pepperoni and onions on my pizza. Pepperoni, onions, pizza. I don't think pronouns are considered to simultaneously be nouns, are they? :confused: ETA: I googled for more info and came across this funny bit of "info," by way of Yahoo! Answers: "Nouns come in proper and improper forms. Proper nouns are the names of things: Jane, Chicago, Barfy, English are names of things. Girl, city, dog, language are improper nouns: things, not their names." Edited November 8, 2011 by melissel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a very basic noun sheet, so I guess they were keeping it basic. I just wanted to be sure I was right and that I hadn't missed something in my "wonderful" public eduation that steered me wrong. :lol: I think I am right and the answer key is right, it's just that I'm getting further ahead than the worksheet at the moment. Thanks for the confirmation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 It was the pronouns that I was questioning. They are nouns, but the answer sheet didn't have them circled. Are you sure? I've not heard this or come across it in any of our studies so far. Do you have a source so I can understand it better? And yeah, they were probably just trying to keep it simple. I bet that's why they didn't go into why the pepperoni, onions, and pizza are so improper :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the confirmation! Pronouns are not nouns. They are pronouns; they can be used in place of nouns. The "I" is used like a noun as the subject of the sentence. The "my" is a pronoun used as an adjective modifying pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can take the place of nouns but are not a type of noun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
