Hello welcome to this tutorial.
Today we are going to talk about common nouns.
Let's get started.
K. so a known is a word used to identify people places or things.
These nouns are called common nouns or a noun is a word used to name a particular one of these and that
is called a proper noun.
For example in the sentence you can buy coffee at Starbucks coffee is a common noun it is a word used
to identify a thing Starbucks on the other hand is a proper noun because it is used to identify a particular
place
now a common noun is a noun showing a class of object or a concept as opposed to a particular individual.
For example there was a sofa two chairs and a wardrobe in the room.
Note that the common nouns are general names they are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence or
are part of a title.
For example capitals of the countries are usually very large.
The word capital is at the beginning of a sentence so it's capitalized and in the sentence London is
the capital of Great Britain the word capital is not capitalized now wealthy at s to a noun it becomes
more than one or plural for example flower Lowry's dog.
Dogs and nouns ending in s s s s s h c s x c or o we add e as to its so that we can make a plural from
more than one for example.
Bus buses watch watches box boxes potato potatoes and nouns ending in Y.
Change into I just e s what we want to make a plural for example baby babies and nouns ending in f or
f e change into F V E plus s to make a plural.
For example life lives Wolf all but believed.
Turns into beliefs sharp turns into chefs.
Now here are some nouns that are irregular for example singular form of the word man said the plural
men woman when men person people child children choose to
feats nouns mice.
