Directions: In the scripts below, circle in purple two nouns in that name a person and one noun that names a place. Circle in red two verbs. BONUS: Underline the compound word. Draw a line between the two words that make up the compound word.

A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea.

A verb names describe an action, a state, or an occurrence.
