Nouns

There are different kinds of words With names the same as you. Nouns are any thing you name: A cat, a dog, a shoe, A city, or a country, A feeling, or a zoo. Frequently a signal Will tell you that a noun Is coming down the road of speech Before you hear the sound. Eight of these are common; You hear them every day. They tell you that a speeding noun Is coming fast your way. A house, an owl, The house, my home, Our house, their owl, Your house, its home. These noun signals can determine If it is a noun. They are called determiners; Have you got that down? Proper nouns are proper names; They really can be fun. They’re the words that tell us That you’re that special one. Every person has a name- Every city, country, state, So, when you’re called, you come at once And we don’t have to wait. Pronouns are just little words We use in place of nouns. This would be a funny rhyme If we left out all pronouns. Although you know a person’s name You don’t say it every time, For he, or she, or they, will do, So pronouns save you time. Nouns can be a thousand things, But proper nouns just one. Pronouns are the little words That help our speech become The pleasant talk we use each day. Now, wasn’t learning fun?
