Nouns, Pronouns and Verbs!!!!

Before July 20th, you must go to the following url address and take neat notes in your spiral notebook about NOUNS, VERBS, and PRONOUNS. On the first day of class, you will be given a test on the Parts of Speech assigned this summer. You will have to label each word in five sentences.

Go to: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/730/01/

Once you are done taking notes, you must post on this blog three sentences from Siddhartha that contain a proper noun, a regular noun, a verb and a pronoun. Label each noun, pronoun and verb in each sentence.

Example: Siddhartha (proper noun) hurt (verb) his (pronoun) his soul(noun) when he (pronoun) denied (verb) being a Brahmin (proper noun).

Good luck! And, NO REPEATS or IM SPEAK.
