The four sections give students different ways to identify and classify nouns in context. Each prompt asks them to find a particular noun or decide what kind of noun it is.

• 16 multiple-choice questions ask whether a noun in a sentence is common or proper. Students classify each noun.
• 14 true-or-false questions ask students to judge statements about noun types, including statements about Monday and library.
• 16 fill-in-the-blank questions ask students to name the requested noun without a word bank.

One prompt asks which proper noun names Amira. Another asks which common noun names the animal in a sentence about a kitten. In all, 32 questions use fill-in-the-blank responses, divided between prompts with a word bank and prompts without one.
