| I found this wonderful website and it seems to be helping. I have returned back to school after 22 years. I unfortuntely have a few questions. First one... We are to write 10 sentences with the following... 1- subject 2 -verbs 3-proper nouns 4-common nouns 3-abstract nouns 5 concrete nouns 5-pronouns 5-adverbs After going through all the definitions I was wondering if it is possible to have a Pronoun and a common noun in the same sentence? Or how do you do a subject with a concrete noun? I am so confused. Here is one example of one sentence: The tornado moved swiftly through the midwest towns, destroying everything in its path. I have tornado as the subject....moved as the verb...swiftly as the adverb... towns as the common noun and destroying as the verb...is this correct? |

| A noun is a word used to refer to people, animals, objects, substances, states, events and feelings. A noun can be a subject or an object of a verb, can be modified by an adjective and can take an article or determiner. Nouns: http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/noun.html Concrete nouns refer to objects and substances, including people and animals, that exist physically. They can be either uncountable nouns or countable nouns. Concrete Noun: http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/concrete-noun.html Abstract nouns refer to states, events, concepts, feelings, qualities, etc., that have no physical existence.
