In the sentence "Mary caught a frog", the common noun serves as: (A) the subject of the sentence. The common noun in this sentence is 'frog' and we can see that the verb or the action (caught) is being performed on the frog. Therefore frog is the subject of the sentence.

D) the object of the sentence. The subject is Mary (the proper noun), as she is who we are talking about. The verb would be caught, since that is the action taking place. The common noun would be "frog," which is the object that the subject is applying the action to.

It would be the object of the subject. Does this help you any?I don't see any answer choices so I am not sure if this would be one of them! ?

Since the common noun here is 'frog', the correct answer is D, the object of a sentence.A cannot be correct because the subject is 'Mary' which is a proper noun.One word cannot be simultaneously a subject and an object, so B isn't correct.In C, the verb is actually 'caught', verb cannot be a noun.
