๐ Noun Sorting Fun!
Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. They're the building blocks of sentences! Some nouns are common, like 'dog' or 'city,' while others are proper, like 'Buddy' (a specific dog) or 'Paris' (a specific city). Sorting nouns helps us understand how they function in language and makes our writing clearer and more interesting. This activity will help you practice identifying and categorizing different types of nouns.
