I'll look for them.
Ty so very much. I am really struggling with this
I don't see them. I have no idea why, but they are not here. If you repost them, I'll be glad to try to help.
I will repost but it will take me a while as I am on the iPad
I'll wait and have another cup of coffee. :)

That is okay. I truly appreciate you looking these over. I also have two other sentences.
1. We saw a fleet of ships in the harbour.-underline fleet as a collective noun, underline ships as a common noun, and underline harbour as a common noun.
2. The bill for dinner was not high.
Underline bill as a common noun and underline high as a common noun

In #2 there is another noun. 1 is correct.
As for the sentence where Ms. Sue saw another noun, I don't know what she had in mind. She is an excellent teacher and tutor, but we all make mistakes sometimes. She catches my mistakes sometimes, too. :) She's been doing that for over fifty years! Yes,, we do know each other in real life and have for over fifty years.

2. Dinner versus high. Dinner as a common noun
"Dinner" is a common noun. So is "high" in this sentence. You were right the first time, but missed "dinner".
NO. I'm wrong about "high". So were you. "High" is a predicate adjective.
