#29: Next Level Nouns

11 minutes

Next level parts of speech—nouns! (See the “intro” to nouns episode here!)

Today’s episode about nouns covers the following:

Person, place, thing, idea

Two kinds

1. Common (any)

2. Proper (formal—we capitalize the formal names)

Possessive—to possess means to own
- 1. Pronouns—never ‘ for personal possessives

2. Nouns—always use ‘ for possessive nouns

Showing possession to nouns
- 1. ____belongs to _____

2. Write the owner first (don’t even think about possession when you write the owner)

3. Say, “The bowl belongs to the dog. Write the word dog. Hmmmm…dog doesn’t end in S, so I need apostrophe-s (dog’s). “ OR

4. Say, “The handle belongs to the glass. Write the word glass. Hmmmm…glass DOES end in S, so I need apostrophe-s (glass’)

Nouns are not second grade skills!
- 1. Talking heads

2. Give a talk

3. He will talk at noon.
