[type] Now it’s time to copy the categories that you’ve created into your grammar notebook. http://www.aviewoncities.com/gallery/showpicture.php?key=kvefr004&dir=towers&tpe=cat
Person Let’s check your “person” category. Did you have everything correct?
Place What about “place”?
Thing Was your “thing” category correct?
Idea Finally, the “idea” category. Did you have all of these written? How can we can distinguish an idea from a person, place, or thing?
Could any of these pictures be placed in other categories? Let’s look at how the actual words are written. What do you notice? Could we arrage them differently? [type] Now look at the new categories. What do we call these categories? Right, there known as “Proper Nouns” and “Common Nouns”? Remind me, how can we differentiate between the two categories again? Let’s examine our pictures again. As we go back and look at the categories, think whether we could rearrange any of the pictures into other categories.
