NounsBrainstorm

What is a sentence? What are nouns?

We know that a sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense.

For example, groups of words below do not make complete sense.

1. Will go to class (who will go?)

2. I played. (what?)

Some additional words are needed to give complete meaning:

1. I will go to class.

2. I played cricket.

In the above sentences the highlighted words give the complete meaning.

Let us knowA sentence is made up of parts. The two main parts are the subject and the predicate.

In the examples above the answers to the questions are as follows:

Who will go? — ‘I’ (subject in the sentence)

Played what? — ‘played cricket’ (predicate in the sentence)

Subject is the person or thing who / which performs an action or about who or which something is stated. It is a noun (naming word) or a pronoun. Predicate tells something about the subject and always has a verb in it.

Activity 1Collect pictures of various things, persons, places and animals. Divide the class into five groups. Give mixed pictures and when you say ‘go’ ask students to sort them out as various kinds of nouns. Quickness can be rewarded with a point.

Activity 2For this noun game, have students pick a sport that they enjoy. Then have them write a list of nouns that relate to the sport. (For example, for basketball, they might choose ‘court,’ ‘basket,’ ‘backboard,’ and ‘rim.’) Have them stand up and read their lists aloud, and encourage the rest of the class to guess which sport the lists describe.

Human beings are one of the forms of life on earth and are intelligent. Man

has always wondered whether there are other intelligent forms of life in

the universe. Scientists are scanning the skies with powerful telescopes to

find whether there is life anywhere else in the universe. Are we alone in the

universe? We don’t know, but this is our only home now, and we have to keep

it safe for future generations.
