Explanation:

A singular noun is a word that names one person, place, thing, or idea: brother, classroom,

piglet, and joy. A plural noun names more than one person, place, thing, or idea: brothers,

classrooms, piglets, and joys.

2. To help you determine whether a word in a sentence is a noun, try adding it to the following

sentences. Nouns will fit in at least one of these sentences:

I know something about . I know something about a(n) .

I know something about brothers. I know something about a classroom.

3. A collective noun names a group. When the collective noun refers to the group as a whole, it is

singular. When it refers to the individual group members, the collective noun is plural.

The class meets two days a week. (singular)

The board of trustees come from all walks of life. (plural)

4. A common noun names a general class of people, places, things, or ideas: soldier, country,

month, or theory. A proper noun specifies a particular person, place, thing, event, or idea.

Proper nouns are always capitalized: General Schwartzkopf, America, July, or Big Bang.

5. A concrete noun names an object that occupies space or that can be recognized by any of the

senses: tuba, music, potato, and aroma. An abstract noun names an idea, a quality, or a

characteristic: courage, sanity, power, and memory.

6. A possessive noun shows possession, ownership, or the relationship between two nouns:

Raul’s house, the cat’s fur, and the girls’ soccer ball.

Pronouns

1. A pronoun takes the place of a noun, a group of words acting as a noun, or another pronoun.

2. A personal pronoun refers to a specific person or thing. First person personal pronouns refer

to the speaker, second person pronouns refer to the one spoken to, and third person pronouns

refer to the one spoken about.

Nominative Case Possessive Case Objective Case

First Person, Singular I my, mine me

First Person, Plural we our, ours us

Second Person, Singular you your, yours you

Second Person, Plural you your, yours you

Third Person, Singular he, she, it his, her, hers, its him, her, it

Third Person, Plural they their, theirs them

3. A reflexive pronoun refers to the subject of the sentence. An intensive pronoun adds emphasis

to a noun or another pronoun. A demonstrative pronoun points out specific persons, places,

things, or ideas.

Reflexive: They psyched themselves up for the football game.

Intensive: Freddie himself asked Julie out.

Demonstrative: That is a good idea! Those are my friends.

4. An interrogative pronoun is used to form questions. A relative pronoun is used to introduce a

subordinate clause. An indefinite pronoun refers to persons, places, or things in a more general

way than a noun does.

Interrogative: Which is your choice? With whom were you playing video games?
