Anonymous  +  726437 Tue, 12 May 09 08:52 AM In the sentence, "Her valuable experience as last year's class treasurer convinced a majority of the students to vote for her for class president", what are the nouns and their type?   when identifying nouns, how do you handle the sentence fragment "last year's class trasurer"? I know treasurer is a noun, and class modifies it, however, isn't year's also a noun, modified by last? is "last year's" and "class treasurer" related to each other when analyzing the sentence?   my answer comes out to, "experience, year's, treasurer, majority, students, vote, president" Anonymous Nouns, Sentences, Students

	Avangi  +  726657 Tue, 12 May 09 12:37 PM "Vote" is a non-finite verb (infinitive) in this case.  I agree with the others. "Year" and "class" are both nouns, of course.  I think it's acceptable to say that "class treasurer" is a compound noun, and alternatively to say that "class" functions as an adjective. I'd probably go with compound adjective (last year's) and compound noun (class treasurer).
