1. The box is empty.
2. Monkeys are jumping on the trees.
3. My father is a doctor.
4. Sheema is a pretty girl.
5. Switch on the television.

Answer :

In the given sentences, we need to identify and circle the nouns.

A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Let's look at each sentence one by one:

  1. The box is empty.

    • Here, the noun is 'box' because it represents a thing.

  2. Monkeys are jumping on the trees.

    • The nouns in this sentence are 'monkeys' and 'trees' because they are both things, specifically animals and plants, respectively.

  3. My father is a doctor.

    • The nouns are 'father' and 'doctor'. They both represent people.

  4. Sheema is a pretty girl.

    • 'Sheema' is a noun because it is a proper name, and 'girl' is a noun because it refers to a person.

  5. Switch on the television.

    • The noun here is 'television' as it is a thing.

Nouns are essential parts of sentences because they can be the subject of a verb or the object of a verb or preposition. They help us identify what or who we are talking about in each sentence.
