Answer:

(Common nouns are underlined)

Lord Farquaad didn't want his new sneakers to get dirty at the

park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's review common v. proper nouns:

Common:

Any person, place or thing.

Ex: park, shoes, etc

Proper:

Any name of a specific place / person

If in a sentence (that is correct) you can differentiate propers from common nouns by it's capitilization. If it is capitalized, then it is a proper noun

Ex: Abraham Lincoln, Central Park

Ok, now I am going to write out the sentence, but underline all the proper nouns:

Lord Farquaad didn't want his new sneakers to get dirty at the

park.

Great! Now, let's go through each of the words:

didn't: this is a contraction of 'did' and 'not'. It is not a person, place or thing

want: this is a verb, as it is describing what he is 'wishing for'. Not a noun

his: definitely not a noun. It is a pronoun. Be careful to not get confused!

new: this is an adjective, as it is describing something. (Ex. the new bike)

sneakers: this is a noun! It is a thing in the same way that your shoes are a thing.

to: this just makes the sentence read better

get: not a person, place, or thing

dirty: another adjective, describing something (Ex. the dirty socks)

at: not a person, place, or thing

the: this is an article, which is used to describe a noun

park: this is a noun! It is a place, but it is not specific, meaning that it is a noun but not a proper noun.

Here is the sentence with the common nouns underlined

Lord Farquaad didn't want his new sneakers to get dirty at the

park.
