Study Notes
Nouns
- Common nouns represent general names for people, places, or things, such as "dog" or "city."
- Proper nouns are specific names, always capitalized, including examples like "Maria" and "Eiffel Tower."
- Singular nouns denote one entity, with examples like "cat," "house," and "apple."
- Plural nouns refer to multiple entities, such as "cats," "houses," and "children."
- Collective nouns identify groups of people or things, like "team," "flock," or "class."
- Abstract nouns signify intangible concepts, including emotions and ideas like "love," "freedom," or "wisdom."
- Concrete nouns are tangible, physical items that can be perceived by the senses, like "table," "bread," or "music."
- Compound nouns combine two or more words, classified as open (e.g., "ice cream"), hyphenated (e.g., "mother-in-law"), or closed (e.g., "notebook").
Verbs
- Stative verbs express conditions or states rather than actions, relating to thoughts and emotions, such as "love" and "believe."
- Action verbs indicate physical or mental activities, with examples like "run," "think," and "eat."
- Subject-verb agreement ensures that verbs match the subject in number, as seen with "The dog barks" (singular) and "The dogs bark" (plural).
- Verb tenses indicate when an action occurs: past (e.g., "walked"), present (e.g., "walks"), and future (e.g., "will walk").
- Regular verbs form their past tense by adding "-ed," such as "talk" becoming "talked."
- Irregular verbs have unique past forms that do not follow the standard pattern, such as "go" becoming "went."
- Transitive verbs require a direct object, as in "He kicked the ball" or "She wrote a letter."
- Intransitive verbs do not need a direct object and can stand alone, exemplified by "The baby cried" or "They arrived."
- Auxiliary verbs, or helping verbs, assist main verbs in forming different tenses and moods, such as "is," "have," and "did."
- Modal verbs indicate necessity or ability, including "can," "must," and "might," as in "You must finish your homework."
