blanks, matching, one-word answers). For longer answers or diagrams, they
may use separate sheets or their notebooks.

A NOTE FOR THE STUDENTS:

Nouns make up the largest class of words in most languages, including English. A noun
is a word that refers to a thing (book), a person (Vikram Seth), an animal (cat), a place
(Rajkot), a quality (softness), an idea (justice), or an action (yodelling). It's usually a
single word, but not always: cake, shoes, school bus, and time and a half are all nouns.

Question Level
Types of The student will learn to Analyse Multiple Medium
Nouns identify nouns as well as the
type of noun from a given
text.

Students may use the worksheet for answering short questions (MCQ, fill in the
blanks, matching, one-word answers). For longer answers or diagrams, they
may use separate sheets or their notebooks.

Nouns make up the largest class of words in most languages, including English. A noun
is a word that refers to a thing (book), a person (Vikram Seth), an animal (cat), a place
(Rajkot), a quality (softness), an idea (justice), or an action (yodelling). It's usually a
single word, but not always: cake, shoes, school bus, and time and a half are all nouns.

There are several different types of nouns:

Common noun

A common noun is a noun that refers to people or things in general, e.g. boy, country,
bridge, city, birth, day, happiness.
 Proper noun

A proper noun is a name that identifies a particular person, place, or thing, e.g. Steven,
Africa, London, Monday. In written English, proper nouns begin with capital letters.
Concrete noun

A concrete noun is a noun which refers to people and to things that exist physically and
can be seen, touched, smelled, heard, or tasted. Examples include dog, building,
coffee, tree, rain, beach, tune.

Abstract noun

An abstract noun is a noun which refers to ideas, qualities, and conditions - things
that cannot be seen or touched and things which have no physical reality, e.g. truth,
danger, happiness, time, friendship, humour.

Collective nouns

Collective nouns refer to groups of people or things, e.g., audience, family,

government, team, jury.

A noun may belong to more than one category. For example, happiness is both a
common noun and an abstract noun, while Mount Everest is both a concrete noun and
a proper noun.

Count and mass nouns

Nouns can be either countable or uncountable. Countable nouns (or count

nouns) are those that refer to something that can be counted. Uncountable
nouns (or mass nouns) do not typically refer to things that can be counted and so
they do not regularly have a plural form.

Given below are five fun facts about the much-loved dessert of Jalebi.

A. Read carefully and pick out the nouns from the text.

Then arrange the nouns in the box below clarifying what type of noun is it.

1. Jalebi is a popular sweet snack in the Indian subcontinent. It is made by deep-

sugar syrup.

2. This dessert can be served warm or cold. They have a somewhat chewy texture
with a crystallized sugary exterior coating. Citric acid or lime juice is sometimes
added to the syrup, as well as rose water. Jalebi is eaten with curd or rabri.

3. Zlabia, which is another name for it, might have started life in Turkey and then
arrived in Tunisia long ago before making its way to India.

4. In Iran, where it is known as zolbiya, the sweet was traditionally given to the poor
during Ramadan.

There are many kinds of coatings. Example: a coating of white paint. A coating of
varnish and so on. So it is also a common noun.
Sweet** sweet is a describing word that tells us about the taste. But here sweet means
dessert as it is replacing the word Zalbiya. So, it is a common noun in the passage.

Read the passage below to complete the exercise that follows:

“In the 46 years of its history, the National Fire Service College (NFSC) of Nagpur
never saw a uniform-clad woman walk out of its gates. But the entry of a 26-year-old
Harshini Kanhekar in 2002, upended the norm.

She broke into the male bastion, becoming India’s first ever Woman Firefighter.

Reliving the moment, the NFSC telegram arrived intimating that she had cleared the
entrance exam, Harshini said, “It was the golden moment of my life. When I bought
the enrolment form, I wasn’t aware that there was absolutely no history of a girl
studying in the institute.”

All Harshini saw when she walked around the campus was a sea of men, with no
woman in plain sight. But that did not deter her because Harshini’s eyes were set on
the historic red building. “All I could see was this beautiful red building. And in that
moment, I dreamt of getting an admission into this college,” she recalls.

While she was submitting her form, a gentleman from the administration told her,
“Ma’am, please apply to the army or air-force college where there are facilities for
women students. This is an all-men’s college.” Far from being a defeatist, Harshini’s
resolve was only strengthened after hearing this.

Until 2002, the fire service was the only field women were not represented in. And
Harshini was bent on changing that.”

Now, answer the questions given below.

1. What is the central idea of the passage?

a) Women can achieve anything they want.

b) Fire safety regulations must be followed.
c) Don’t listen to administrative officers.

2. What did Harshini want to become?

a) She wanted to become an administrative officer.

b) She wanted to become a firefighter.
c) She wanted to become the only woman to study in the red-coloured college
building.

Read the passage below to complete the exercise that follows:

"Finding Nemo" has all of the usual pleasures of the Pixar animation style. The movie
takes place almost entirely under the sea, in the world of colourful tropical fish--the
flora and fauna of a shallow warm-water shelf not far from Australia. The use of colour,
form and movement make the film a delight even apart from its story.

The movie involves the adventures of little Nemo, a clown fish born with a small fin
and big curiosity. His father, Marlin, worries over him, because Nemo is all he has left:
Nemo's mother and all of her other eggs were lost to barracudas. When Nemo goes
off on his first day of school, Marlin warns him to stay with the class and avoid the
dangers of the drop-off to deep water, but Nemo forgets, and ends up as a captive in
the salt-water aquarium of a dentist in Sydney. Marlin swims off bravely to find his
missing boy, aided by Dory, a blue tang with enormous eyes who he meets along the
way.

The fish take on qualities of human personalities.

Now it might seem to us that there is no possible way a fish can escape from an
aquarium in an office and get out of the window and across the highway and into the
sea, but there is no accounting for the ingenuity of these creatures.

The enormous canvas is filled with creatures that have some of the same beauty as--
well, fish in an aquarium.”

It is important to acknowledge the contribution of hidden figures as they do a lot

of hard work. People at the forefront get a limelight but a bulk of the actual work
is actually accomplished at the backend.

Evidence - Many times when we talk about taking the first step on the moon, we
discuss men and the first man landing on the moon. But Neil Armstrong wouldn’t
have been able to get to the moon if it weren't for Margaret Hamilton. Hamilton
is a renowned mathematician and computer science pioneer.

form, I wasn’t aware that there was absolutely no history of a girl studying in the
institute.”

Worksheet 8: Nine Unknown Men.

1. Probable answer given below. Teachers to check for errors in spellings and

The passage tells us that there are many incidents in history which are still
unexplained or unclear.

2. Evidence - India’s very own version of the Illuminati, the mysterious ‘9 Unknown
Men’ is believed to be one of the world’s most powerful secret societies.
According to legend, it was founded by Emperor Asoka himself. The actual
 identities of these 9 unknown men are still a mystery, but it is believed that the
secret society, preserved over generations, exists till date.

Worksheet 9: Finding Nemo.

Probable answer given below. Teachers to check for errors in spellings and grammar
usage.

1. The passage tells us about why the movie “Finding Nemo” is so special. It is
about a fish separated from his family/father and trapped in an aquarium in a
dentist’s office. It is about the idea of freedom - how important it is for
animals/everyone to live freely in their own environments.

2. Possible keywords: Pixar movie; underwater; adventures of Nemo; clown fish;

Overprotective father – Marlin; Nemo captured and kept as an aquarium fish;
rescue attempt by Marlin and Dory; human personalities of the fish; desire to get

A NOTE FOR THE STUDENTS:

Propaganda

Propaganda is a type of persuasive writing where information is put out, sometimes of

a biased nature, to promote or publicise a particular cause. Propaganda has a negative
connotation, but it’s not always a bad thing!
 These are a few propaganda techniques:

Testimonial A famous person says they use the product, or vouch for its
superior quality.
Transfer The product is featured in a desirable setting. Customers transfer
the desirability of the setting to the product, believing the product
has the same qualities.
Bandwagon Informing the customers that large numbers of people are buying
the product and so should they.
Name Calling Using words loaded with emotion to invoke positive or negative
responses in the customer – which will drive them to buy the
product.
Glittering Using attractive words to convince the customer about the
generalities superiority of the product.

You are a marketing professional. Write sentences to sell a product. Use one of the
propaganda techniques for each one. (Answers may vary).
