Is lucky a dog's name a collective or compound noun?

Answer 1

"Is Lucky a dog's name?" is an interrogative sentence, a sentence that asks a question.

• is = the verb;
• Lucky = a proper noun (a name), subject of the sentence, a proper noun is always capitalized;
• a = an article, indicating that the noun that follows is just one;
• dog's = common, possessive noun, the apostrophe s at the end of the word indicates that something in the sentence belongs to that noun; the possessive noun is describing the noun 'name';
• name = common noun, direct object of the verb 'is'.

There is no collective noun in the sentence. A collective noun is a noun used to group people or things in a descriptive way; for example, a pack of dogs or a kennel of dogs.

There is no compound noun in the sentence. A compound noun is a noun made up of two or more words that forms a noun with a meaning of its own; for example, doghouse or dog food.
