The Basics of English Grammar: Nouns & Pronouns

In this course, students will first learn or review the definitions of a noun and a pronoun. NOUNS: They will be given examples of the four categories of nouns (person, place, thing, idea, emotion) and distinguish which are concrete or abstract. Students will have the opportunity to then brainstorm and create their own list of nouns. PRONOUNS: After emphasizing the definition and giving examples of pronouns, students will assign pronouns to their exiting lists of nouns. They will also distinguish subject pronouns from object pronouns in short sentences. Finally, they will create short sentences that reflect each learning target.
