Grammar Train Jean-Louis Martine tesolmaster.com I Know Nouns! Nouns are names given to any object in the real world Concrete nouns or any state of mind e.g Love hate etc Abstract nouns The word Noun comes from the Latin word “numen” meaning name We can work out if a word is a noun by asking are selves is it a name When learning a foreign language one of the first and most useful question we can learn to ask is…………………… What is it called? What you call that? You are asking for the name of something, a place, a person, an object or a thing even an emotion is a noun Examples of Common Nouns (Common Names) What is it called? It’s called a frog Frog is the name we give to this kind of animal What is it called? It’s called snow What is it called?

Yes you can! How many cats are there? There are five cats! (Countable noun) How many rivers are there? There are hundreds of rivers (Countable noun) All nouns that can be counted can be expressed in the singular or plural The most common expression of the plural is by the addition of an “s” at the end of the noun Cat becomes cats River becomes rivers This is known as “the regular” form For most plural forms the addition of an “s” to the original singular form will be sufficient to create the plural However there are many exceptions Here are some of the most common exceptions I Know Regular and Irregular countable nouns Regular Nouns Singular Cat Pen Television Hammer School Job Session Tradition Instrument > > > > > > > > > Irregular Nouns Plural Cats Pens Televisions Hammers Schools Jobs Sessions Traditions Instruments Jean - Louis Martine Singular Chid Man Woman Person Mouse Sheep Series Kiss Tooth Grammar Train > > > > > > > > > Plural Children Men Women People Mice Sheep Series Kisses Teeth tesolmaster.com Can you count it? No you can’t! Many Nouns cannot be counted by the nature of what they are that is it makes no sense to use numbers when talking about them This applies to all abstract nouns and some common nouns How much you love me?

No you can’t Other examples of uncountable nouns are liquids and similar things like sugar, salt and butter, which are inherently difficult to count There are ways that we can get around this problem by the addition of something that is countable e.g 1) Three spoonfuls of sugar Instead of counting the sugar (grain by gain) we count how many spoons of sugar we want Red = Uncountable noun Blue = Countable counter part The same is true of liquids Like beer, wine, water or milk 2) Three glasses of wine 3) Five pints of beer 4) Four litters of milk 5) Six bags of cement 5) Two pieces of furniture Nouns Regular Countable Nouns Singular Cat > Pen > Television > Hammer > School > Plural Cats Pens Televisions Hammers Schools Jean -

Louis Martine Grammar Train tesolmaster.com I Know Compound Nouns and Noun Combinations Nouns are often put together or combined to express one thing, this is known as a noun combination When noun combinations are a regular occurrence – the two nouns are often joined by a hyphen or can even be written as one word When nouns are combined they act as one The first noun in a noun combination often tells us more about the second “main” noun acting in some way like an adjective Examples: of Compound nouns and noun combinations light bulb computer virus mobile phone ice-cream timetable weekend battlefield schoolbag homework I Know Collective Nouns Collective nouns are used to refer to groups of people Although a group contains more than one individual, collective nouns can be used in the singular, depending on weather you want to emphasise, the group as a unified body or the individuals within the group Everyone is happy The Staff are happy The Army is moving into position The Army are moving into position Jean - Louis Martine Grammar Train tesolmaster.com I know Pronouns Pronouns are used to replace nouns or noun phrases when the noun is known to avoid repetition of the noun in a sentence group of sentences e.g Bob was very happy Bob had just won the lottery Bob was very happy he had just won the lottery Bob = Noun he = Pronoun = Bob There are eight types of pronoun: Personal Pronouns have two types Subject and Object they are used to stand in place of a noun Subject Pronouns: I, You, He, She, It, We, They, Who, Whoever, Object Pronouns: Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, Them, Whom, Whomever, They are also divided to express The Plural and The Singular of The First Person: Singular I, me, Plural The Second Person: Singular and Plural The Third Person: Singular he, him, she, her, it, we, us you Plural they, them This determines whether am / is / or are, is used and whether or not s or es, is added to end of the verb in the formation of past tenses Reflexive Pronouns have one type and are used to refer backwards or inwards on the subject or object Think of the word refection Possessive pronouns have two types Possessive pronouns and Possessive determiners the difference being Possessive pronouns stand alone in a sentence e.g Think of the word possession It is mine And Possessive determiners always come before a noun e.g It is my book Jean - Louis Martine Grammar Train tesolmaster.com PRONOUN CHART Personal Subject I you he she it we you they Object me you him her it us you them Reflexives Possessive pronoun myself yourself himself herself itself ourselves yourselves themselves Possessive determiner mine yours his hers its ours yours theirs my your his her its our your their Demonstrative Pronouns help us to demonstrate something or point it out When these words stand alone they are considered to be pronouns because they replace or stand in for a noun When they are used before a noun they are considered to be determiners because the determine which noun we are referring to e,g, this ball or that this, that, these, those, He is a teacher (pronoun) This book (determiner) Interrogative Pronouns are used in the formation of questions and are normally followed by a question mark They can also be used in indirect questions that not require a question mark Think of the word interrogation meaning to question who, whom, whose, what, which, He said “What is it your name?” (direct question) He asked the man’s name (indirect question) Relative Pronouns are used to introduce relative clauses that come after a noun or noun phrase e.g He is the man that came in yesterday Look at the boy with the blue hat Relative pronouns act rather like conjunctions and join two parts of a sentence together to give more information about the noun subject or object i.e The clause is related to the noun that, which, who, whom, whose, what, whatever whomever There are only two Reciprocal Pronouns: One another (more than two or in general) and each other (between two people or things) They are called such as they are used to demonstrate a reciprocal relation between people or things The two boys played with each other We should love one another 10 Jean - Louis Martine Grammar Train tesolmaster.com I Know Phrasal Verbs Phrasal verbs are an extremely large and potentially confusing area of the English language The best way to describe a phrasal verb is to say that it is a number of words taken together, as a set phrase with a particular meaning The one of the greatest problems with learning and teaching phrasal verbs is that there is not necessarily a direct or obvious connection between to the constituent words and the meaning of the phrasal verb itself Another problem with phrasal verbs is that one phrasal verb might have more than one meaning Finally there are just so many phrasal verbs in English it is difficult to know where to start and they are easy to confuse with each other Due to the nature of Phrasal Verbs it is difficult to decisively say whether the full under the heading of Grammar or Lexis It is my opinion that it is best to consider them primarily as Lexical items i.e Vocabulary and then teach the necessary grammar to with them 19 Jean -

Louis Martine Grammar Train tesolmaster.com past participle I know If & Conditional clauses We use if when we want to talk about uncertain events, activities or things, that may or may not happen or might or might not be true In such sentences, the represents a condition if that must happen first hence the name conditional clauses All conditional clauses are separated into two halves the main if clause or condition that must happen first and the second clause or result which happens afterwards Conditionals can understood in terms of cause and effect where If = the cause If you drop that glass, it will brake If you heat water to 100.c, it will boil Conditional clauses can be used with special tenses to indicate how likely the statement we are making is ZERO Conditional General truths 100% certainty FIRST conditional Possible situation & likely outcomes SECOND conditional Hypothetical situations or improbable outcomes THIRD conditional Impossible situations and hypothetical outcomes 31 Jean - Louis Martine Grammar Train tesolmaster.com I know Gerunds and participles Gerund and participle are terms given to when we use –ing forms of the verb Not as Verbs but as adjectives, adverbs or nouns Gerund is the term given to the use of an –ing form of the verb used as a noun e.g The man was laughing (laughing as a verb) Laughing is good for you (laughing acting as a noun) It is easy to check if an –ing is being used as a noun if you can replace it with a noun then it’s a gerund Chocolate is good for you (Chocolate is a noun) 32 Jean - Louis Martine Grammar Train tesolmaster.com I know Indirect and Reported Speech In indirect speech we not use speech marks and often we not repeat word for word what someone has said but rather retransmit or convey the mean of what they have said This can be very useful for example if I have just had a conversation and someone asked what we were talking about I might very well find it very hard to repeat word for word what was said However I could quite easily explain what was talked about and what was and wasn’t said in my own words Other examples were indirect or reported speech are common are in news reports For example a politician gives a long speech that covers many topics However the news report needs to sum this up in many less words e.g Tony Blair said that Gordon Brown was making a hash of the economy and wouldn’t it be great if he was back in power He said that………… It has been reported……… It is assumed that…………… Back forming Very often when we use reported speech we make a tense shift into a past tense e.g from the present simple to the past simple 33 Jean -
