Question

Identify the noun in Nominative case in the below sentence:
The red hen jumped over the coop's fence.

• A. red
• B. hen
• C. fence
• D. over

Answer 1

The correct option is B hen

Nominative case is the "subject" of the sentence i.e the person/ thing that carries out the verb/action in the sentence. In the given sentence:

The word 'red' in Option A, is an adjective, not a noun.

The word 'hen' in Option B is the noun in the nominative case because it performs the action of jumping.

The word 'fence' in Option C is a noun. However, it is not in nominative case as it is not performing any action.

The word 'over' in Option D is a preposition, not a noun.

Hence Option B is the correct answer.
