A noun is simply any word referring to a person, place, or thing. There are many subcategories of nouns: common, proper, countable, uncountable, concrete, abstract, compound, & collective. Though they do refer to people, places, or things, pronouns are not considered to be nouns.

Ex. Jimmy ran as fast as he could to the store though he was facing unbearable sadness that day.

  1. Jimmy = Proper Noun
  2. store = Countable Noun
  3. sadness = Abstract Noun
  4. day = Common Noun

( Match the italicized pronoun to its type.) interrogative
Lelechka [254]
<span>Demonstrative: Hand me [those] papers. (Me is also an objective pronoun)
Reflexive: They call [themselves] The Ambassadors. (They is also a nominative pronoun)
Indefinite: Has [anyone] seen Tim?
Interrogative: [What] did you say? (You is also a nominative pronoun)
Relative: The cat that followed me home is a black angora. (Me is an objective pronoun)
Nominative: [We] won the game.  
Objective: The first team beat [us].
Possessive: Tom, [whose] turn it is, will speak. (It is also a nominative pronoun)

Possessive pronouns are: my, mine, his, her, hers, their, theirs, our, ours, your, yours. Whose owns the turn and refers to Tom.Objective pronouns are the object of the sentence. They receive the action. In the sentences above, us receives the action of being beaten.Demonstrative pronouns refer to a very specific thing. In the example, the speaker is asking for a specific set of papers. The example is also using the demonstrative pronoun as an adjective to describe which papers.Indefinite pronouns refer to a wide array of nouns. They do not talk about a specific person or thing.Nominative pronouns are the subject of the sentence. They do the action.Interrogative pronouns are pronouns that help ask questions. Think interrogation. During an interrogation many interrogative pronouns are used.Reflexive pronouns refer back to a noun or pronoun. A few examples are: themselves, itself, myself, himself, herself, ourselves.Relative pronouns introduce a relative clause. In a sentence the relative clause modifies a word in the main clause. In this example, the cat is modified by the clause “that followed me home” to tell which cat the speaker is referring to. <span>

What is the correct order of events in Ivan Ilyich’s life as depicted in chapters 5–8 of Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich?
morpeh [17]
<span>Two months pass. Right before New Year's, Praskovya Fedorovna's brother stops by to make a visit. Ivan comes home to find him alone in the house. When he sees Ivan he gives him an "Oh my goodness, you look like a walking corpse" stare. But when Ivan asks him if he looks different, he admits only "there has been a change" (5.3).Somewhat later, the disturbed Ivan goes to a mirror and compares his current appearance with an old photograph of himself.There's definitely been a change.As he walks away from the mirror he overhears a conversation between Praskovya Fedorovna and her brother, who is telling her that Ivan already looks like a dead man. She says he's exaggerating.Ivan decides he must go to see Peter Ivanovich at once, since he has a doctor friend. His wife – could she be showing signs of a conscience? – gives him an extra-kind and pitying look as he leaves which only succeeds in disgusting him.Peter and Ivan go to see a doctor, with the same results as usual: more incomprehensible talk about Ivan's "vermiform appendix" and the assurance that everything could turn out just fine. Ivan just needs to wait for absorption to occur.For the rest of the day, Ivan has the absorbing, vermiform appendix lodged in the back of his head.He comes home to find Lisa is receiving a visit from her current suitor, Fedor Petrovich. Everyone notices Ivan is in a better mood than usual.Ivan goes to bed (he now sleeps alone in his study) and tries to read a Zola novel but can only think about that vermiform appendix of his.<span>Ivan is convinced that absorption will occur, and that everything will be OK.</span>With a burst of hope Ivan takes his medicine, touches his side, and happily feels that there seems to be no pain. Could it be that absorption is occurring right now?Sadly, no: it's only a few seconds before the pain comes back.<span>And it now hits Ivan that this isn't really about his appendix at all. It's about life and death. His death.</span>His life is ebbing away, and there's nothing he can do to stop it.<span>This is a rather terrifying realization, and Ivan becomes panic-stricken. Where will he go when he dies? What does it mean to die? He doesn't know, and he doesn't want to.</span>Music that his daughter and her suitor are playing together drifts in, and Ivan is infuriated. No one else realizes or cares that he is facing death, alone.Ivan can't believe that all human beings could be sentenced to something so utterly horrible as death.Terror seizes him again and he starts desperately feeling around for matches to light the dark room, in the process whacking himself on his nightstand. He attacks it furiously in retaliation and makes such a racket that Praskovya Fedorovna comes into the room.Ivan tells Praskovya Fedorovna he's feeling worse, and she proposes to bring in another specialist.<span>Ivan is not happy with that idea. She kisses him, managing only to make him hate her more.</span></span>
