Hello everybody.
2
Welcome to this English course.
3
In today's video, I'm going to tell you about nouns.
4
Because in English, nouns are very important.
5
They are the basic element of a sentence.
6
So if you want to speak English, you need to know about the different kinds of nouns.
7
And I'm going to try and teach you as well as I can.
8
Let's get started.
9
Okay, so let's start with concrete nouns.
10
Now in English, concrete nouns are people,
11
places or things, including animals that you can see,
12
that you can smell or taste or hear or touch.
13
So you can basically use your five senses.
14
Let me give you a few examples.
15
If we talk about people, you could say, a man or a teacher.
16
Or me, Fanny or Mr. Smith.
17
If we talk about places, you could say, a house, a school.
18
You could name a city like London.
19
Very nice city.
20
Or a beach.
21
And if you talk about things, you could say a shoe.
22
You could say a marker.
23
You could talk about a dog.
24
Or food like a pizza.
25
These are concrete nouns.
26
Okay?
27
Now let's move on to abstract nouns.
28
So abstract nouns, unlike concrete nouns,
29
are ideas, concepts, And you can't see an idea.
30
You can't smell a concept.
31
You can't taste an emotion or hear it or touch it.
32
So they are nouns.
33
They are things that exist.
34
But you cannot see them or taste them.
35
You can't use your five senses.
36
To give you a few examples, we could talk about love or time or religion.
37
tools.
38
These are all words that represent ideas, concepts.
39
Okay?
40
They're abstract nouns in English.
41
Now let's get into more detail about nouns.
42
Let's now see the difference between common nouns and proper nouns, which are very important in English.
43
So common nouns and proper nouns refer to people, places, things, ideas.
44
Let's see a few examples.
45
We could talk about people.
46
For example, a woman.
47
That's a common noun.
48
But if we talk about a specific woman,
49
for example, me, Fanny, that becomes a proper noun with a capital F.
50
Because, and you should know this, proper nouns are always capitalised.
51
You could talk about places.
52
A city.
53
That's a common noun.
54
But then you can name a specific city.
55
Let's take a great city, London, of course, with a capital L.
56
Remember, proper nouns, always capitalised.
57
We can talk about things.
58
For example, an animal.
59
Let's take a dog dog.
60
That's a common noun.
61
But if we take a specific dog like Snoopy, capital S.
62
That's the proper noun.
63
If we talk about things again but for example a car, that's a common noun.
64
But if we name the brand, the specific brand of the car like Volvo, that's a proper noun and it takes a capital V.
65
And finally, we can say a team, common noun.
66
But if we name a specific team, for example, the best football team,
67
Manchester United, then that's a proper noun and it's capitalized.
68
Now mind you team is a special word
69
because it's called a collective noun in English because it refers to a group of people.
70
So collective nouns can be used as singular nouns or plural nouns.
71
But we will talk about this again later.
72
So now that we know a lot about nouns in English, let's practice finding nouns in a sentence.
73
Okay?
74
First, In my class at Oxford University, I have many friends.
75
My best friend is Jan.
76
I have a lot of love for her.
77
Jan has a cute dog.
78
Its name is Juju.
79
What are the nouns in these sentences?
80
If we take the first sentence, In my class at Oxford University, I have many friends.
81
We have class and friends.
82
These are common nouns.
83
We also have a proper noun.
84
Oxford University.
85
We know it's a proper noun because it's capitalised.
86
The second sentence is, My best friend is Jen.
87
Now in this sentence, the noun is friend.
88
Common noun.
89
And there's also the word, Jan.
90
It's also a noun, but a proper noun.
91
As you can see, it's capitalised.
92
Then, I have a lot of love for her.
93
What noun can you see?
94
Of course, love.
95
Remember the abstract noun we talked about a few minutes ago.
96
And finally, Jan has a cute dog.
97
name is Juju.
98
What nouns can we find?
99
We can see Jan again, proper noun.
100
Dog, common noun.
101
But also name and Juju.
102
Name is a common noun.
103
Juju is the proper noun.
104
It's capitalised.
105
As you probably know, I haven't mentioned I or her or it.
106
They are also nouns but they are pronouns and they're considered a different category in English.
107
We will talk about them in another video.
108
Great job, guys!
109
Thank you for watching my video.
110
I hope you now have a better understanding of nouns in English.
111
Please keep practicing.
112
Practice makes perfect.
113
I'm sure you will very soon be able to recognise nouns in a sentence.
114
Please make sure to watch my next video as I keep on talking about nouns.
115
See you!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
