Help w/ 3rd grade homework 1 ?

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

What is a noun that falls under a thing that you can't touch?

I think I know the answer, but want someone elses' opinion.

 

[Sandy51]

Do you mean a specific noun or an idea; such as honesty, cooperation, happiness?



Sandy

 

[MinnieM3]

An abstract noun.

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

It would be a specific noun. Not an idea.

 

[Megster]

is this a riddle? Or a specific kind of noun? I really hate grammer (or is it grammar?)...

 

[MinnieM3]

Hmmm I still think concrete you can touch and abstract you cannot. We don't teach this concept in my 3rd grade, but that's what I remember from Grad School.

The wind?

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

The wind?

That is waht my daughter said. Also air and oxygen. ALl were wrong.

It's not a riddle but an actual grammar question. Nice to know I'm not alone in thinking it's tricky.

 

[EthansMom]

How about your "soul"?

 

[Dare2Wish]

The first thing I thought of was the sky.

Ah, that must be it. Makes sense to me. How many third graders are going to get that one right?

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

Love! (I did teach this to my second and third graders!)

Good point, especially since this 43 y/o is struggling and apparently thousands of her friends are too

 

[L107ANGEL]

[monsterkitty]

[The Princess]

And the answer is..........

 

[DisneyArk]

An abstract noun.

I think this is the best answer for a grammar question.
