Naming Words (Nouns) — Lesson

🌟 Let's Meet Our Naming Friends! 🌟

One sunny morning in Mumbai, little Anya went to the market. She saw many things: a mango, a kite, and a dog playing happily. All these words are special because they tell us the names of things around us. These special words are called Naming Words or Nouns! 🎉

What Are Naming Words? (Nouns)

Naming words or nouns are words that name:

  • People - like teacher, doctor, Ravi
  • Places - like school, Delhi, park
  • Things - like book, pen, car
  • Animals - like cat, elephant, cow
Type of Noun Examples
People Anita, Farmer, Policeman
Places Delhi, River, School
Things Ball, Chair, Mango
Animals Tiger, Dog, Parrot
📚 Key Rule:

All naming words (nouns) name a person, place, thing, or animal.

✍️ How to Spot a Naming Word?
  • If you can say "This is a ___," then the word is a noun.
  • Example: This is a book. (Book is a naming word)
  • Example: This is a river. (River is a naming word)

Did You Know? 🤔

In Hindi, naming words are called संज्ञा (Sangya). Just like in English, they name people, places, and things. For example, लड़का (boy) and पानी (water) are nouns too!

Exam Tips 📝

  • Tip 1: Remember, naming words name only people, places, animals, or things. Words like run or happy are not nouns.
  • Tip 2: In exams, you may be asked to underline nouns in a sentence. Look for words naming people, places, or things.
  • Tip 3: Sometimes, you will have to write nouns for a given category. Practice by naming things in your home or school!
  • Tip 4: Avoid confusing naming words with action words (verbs). For example, eat is an action word, not a noun.
📝 Sample Question:

Underline the naming words in the sentence:
"Ravi saw a peacock near the river."
