Our free printable Common Nouns Worksheet with clear explanatory text provide three basic noun exercises that are suitable for KS1 and KS2, junior school or elementary school aged children who are ready to learn about common nouns and how they form the basic building blocks of the English language.
Please take into account that our nouns worksheet and the nouns exercises only provide a simple basic introduction to nouns and how they may refer to a person, place or a thing. Our sheet does not extend as far as nouns describing ideas, quantities, quality or events; words and sentence structure on the handouts are kept as simple as possible too so as not to detract from the principle learning objective of the exercise.
