I have a question where I have to name the isomers of pentene. I understand how to do pent-1-ene and pent-2-ene, then I am stuck. Any prodding?
Thanks!

You've changed the positions of the double bond. Now try changing positions of the C-atoms. Pluck one out at the end and stick it back somewhere else.

Also, keep in mind that such threads belong in the Homework and Coursework forum.
 
Does the name 3-methyl-but-1-ene mean anything to you?
(Not forgetting cyclopentane, of course).

Right, 3-methylbut-1-ene is an isomer of pentene.

~But,
In addition to:
*pent-1-ene
*pent-2-ene (both E & Z :biggrin:)
*3-methylbut-1-ene
*cyclopentane

Consider:
*2-methylbut-1-ene
*2-methylbut-2-ene
*ethylcyclopropane
*dimethylcyclopropane
*methylcyclobutane
