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