Five Little Reindeer poem brings alive the nostalgia of my childhood 💖

Five little reindeer playing in the snow
The first one said, “Can you see my nose glow?”
The second one said, “Listen to me sing!”
The third one said, “I can hear the bells ring.”
The fourth one said, “Let’s eat the pie!”
The fifth one said, “I’m ready to fly.”
Then clomp went their hooves
And the snow fell white
As the five little reindeer flew out of sight.

Five Interesting Facts about Nouns📝⭐😽🌺⛱️🌍

Nouns pertain to words that name persons, places, things, ideas, events, substances, etc.

Here are some things you should know about nouns:

✅1. Nouns can be used after determiners such as “the” (example: the boy, the tree, the dog, etc.). In which case, they form what we call “noun phrases.”

✅2. Nouns have different forms for the singular and the plural (example: a boy/two boys, the tree/the trees, the dog/the dogs, etc.).

✅3. Nouns can be transformed into possessive form by adding apostrophe “s” or simply an apostrophe (in cases of nouns ending with “s”) (example: the boy’s toy, the dog’s house, the tree’s leaves etc).

✅4. Nouns can serve as subjects of verbs (example: The dog barked at the mailman.), objects of verbs (example: The mailman kicked the dog), as complements of verbs (Example: That appears to be the dog), and as objects of prepositions (The mailman was bit by the dog).

✅5. The kinds of nouns include: proper, common, mass, count, abstract, concrete, collective, compound, and adjectives that function as nouns.
