Grammar
Indentify the NOUN
I'm studying Grammar at home and can't find a good grammar. I'm a bit dyslexic so I need things well explained and many examples to be abble to understand.
I was doing an exercise that you have to identify the NOUN in the sentence: I got 9 out of 14 :/ can you please help me understand where is the noun and why are they nouns in those senteces:
1:The sun was shining brightly yesterday.
My answer: Sun (because of the Article "the") and shining,
But the correction says that there is only one NOUN in the sentence. :/
2:The bird perched on the branch of the tree singing its beautiful song.
My answer: Bird, branch, tree, beautiful (I think beautiful is wrong am I correct?)
the correction is 4
3:Although Osaka is big, Tokyo is the largest city in Japan.
My answer: big (because I don't know) and Largest (because of the Article)
4:My name's Mark, but you can call me MJ.
My answer: Mark and MJ
The correct answer is 3 Nouns but I have no idea where is the third :/
5:The director of the film Titanic was James Cameron.
My answer: Director, Film, James Cameron
The correct answer is 4 Nouns but I have no idea why? Is Titanic a NOUN?
Is there any easy why to identify the Nouns?
Please if there is anyone that could help me It would be greattt
Thank you so much for your time!

Okay, you've probably heard the traditional definition of a noun. It is the name of a person, place or thing. (The "thing" can be an idea as well as a physical object).

Sorry, no suggestions. (My familiarity with grammar texts is not up-to-date.)
