Concrete - abstract - proper nouns

This is a useful worksheet to be used as part of a wider selection of class activities or if you need cover work.
It defines concrete, abstract and proper nouns, and then gives students a selection to sort into a chart (provided).
Five should then be chosen and used in students’ own sentences.
Depending on where you are, you could either remove the example of ‘God’ or use it as a stimulus for debate (proper or abstract, or both?). This latter activity could also segue nicely into a lesson on discursive or argumentative writing.
This activity is aimed at KS3 but has a broad range of appeal depending on your students’ needs: it could for example be used with able KS2s or with KS4s who lack grammatical knowledge.
