English Grammar Course | Introduction to
Nouns #1
Shaw English Online
In English, nouns are very important. They are the basic element of
a sentence. If you want to speak English, you need to know about
the different kinds of nouns. Nouns are concrete nouns that are
people places or things that you can see, smell, taste, or hear, or
touch. If we talk about people, you could say a man or a teacher, or
me, Fanny. If a specific woman is called Fanny, she is a proper noun
with a capital 'F' and a city like London is a common noun.
Remember proper nouns - always capitalized. We can talk about
things for example. An animal. Let 's take a dog. A dog. That 's a
common noun. But if we take a specific dog , like Snoopy - capital 'S
' - that 's the proper noun. If we name a specific team, for example ,
the best football team , Manchester United. And it takes a capital 'V
'. And finally, and we can say a team - common nouns. Nouns are
considered a different category in English. We will talk about them
in another video. Please keep practicing. Practice makes perfect. I
'm sure you will very soon be able to recognize nouns in a sentence.
Please make sure to watch my next video as I talk about nouns.

Nouns #3

There are many ways to make plural forms in English. There are no
specific rules, you just need to learn the words. But I'm going to try
and tell you about the most common ones. Some nouns are never
singular, so we always use their plural forms. So you would say "I
have some jeans" or "I have scissors." It is incorrect in English to say
"Let's work a bit on pronunciation. I'm a quiet person, so I don't talk
to many people. Please repeat after me." I hope you now have a
better understanding of irregular plural forms in English.
English Grammar Course | Compound Nouns

A compound noun is made up of two different words. So you take
two words and put them together to create a new noun. Compound
nouns are very common in English and there are thousands of them.
They are usually quite easy to understand. Sometimes compound
nouns are two or more words hyphenated. Sometimes they are a
single noun. Like Motherinlaw or Ice Cream. Sometimes you have a
simple adjective plus a noun like A Green House but you also have a
compound noun which is a different meaning. When we want to
make compound nouns plural, there are rules to follow. If you have
a single word, you simply add an s but if you have separate words,
whether hyphenated or not, you will make the most significant word
plural. The plural form of Woman is Women so we will both make
them plural. Is Bus Stop a compound noun? What do you think? It is.
I have two alarms clock. What about Alarms Clock? Well, it is a
compound. But there is a big mistake. Can you see it? Of course, the
plural form is not Alarm clocks the plural form. The most significant
word in the English language is Clock.
