Introduction to nouns발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

[Voiceover] Hello grammarians. Welcome to the English parts of speech.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

We're gonna begin with the noun, the lovely wonderful noun, your friend and mine.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

They're mostly what you're gonna encounter in sentences.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Most sentences in English contain at least one noun or a pronoun, but we'll get to pronouns later.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

A noun is basically anything.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And I know that's not an especially helpful definition, but we'll get more specific in a minute.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

A noun is basically anything at all.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now the way this is taught in traditional grammar is to say that a noun is a person, place or thing, which is fine, I think we can make that a little big sharper and expand that out by saying that they are, that nouns are people or living things, places, things, or ideas.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

I think ideas is the one that usually gets left out.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So nouns can be people, places, things and ideas.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Let's put that in action.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, this is Raul.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

He is from Argentina.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

He is a penguin.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Raul has big dreams.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now, okay.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, I wanna take these three sentences and find the noun in them using the test.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So the test is, is it a person or a living thing, a place, a thing, or an idea?발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And if it's any of those things, then it falls into the category of words in English which we call nouns.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, sentence number one.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

This is Raul.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

What is Raul?발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Well, Raul is a person or a living thing so we're just gonna say person so noun. Next sentence.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

He is from Argentina.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now Argentina happens to be a place so therefore, it is also a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It's a kind of noun called a proper noun, just like Raul is but we'll get to that later.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, Argentina is a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Argentina incidentally is a country and the word country is also a noun because it is a thing.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, sentence the third.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

He is a penguin.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now, a penguin is a living being or a thing so we can say oh yes, penguin, that is a noun as well.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, you've noticed I'm not circling he or this.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

These words are pronouns, relative pronouns, and they can sometimes behave like nouns, but I wouldn't call them nouns.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That'll just get confusing.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, these are pronouns and we'll get to them later.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Sentence number four.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Raul has big dreams.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, here we have Raul again.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

We know from the first sentence that it's a person's name.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, we're just gonna say this is also a noun again. And dreams.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now, dreams isn't a person, a place.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It's a thing, sure.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

The reason I put in idea as a fourth category is to get it stuff that you can't pick up.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Like for example, so dream, yes, dream is a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Dream is maybe a little tangible 'cause it's something you can imagine, but the idea of like a word like bigness.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Or if you prefer, you know, size.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

The size of Raul's plumage was astonishing.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Look at that gorgeous plumage.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It's a little penguin mohawk. (high-pitched murmurs)발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

The size of Raul's plumage was astounding.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now in that sentence, size is a noun, but it's not a physical thing, it's not a person, it's not a place, it's not something you can pick up.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It's an idea.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, that's why I include this fourth category.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, if you're trying to figure out whether or not a word is a noun, just apply this test.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Ask yourself, is it a person, a place, a thing, or an idea?발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And you, my friend, will my golden.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You can learn anything. David out.발음듣기
