Are nouns lazy? No! They're just as hard working as online English teachers. They have important jobs to do in an English sentence. It's important for English language students to fully understand and appreciate the jobs that nouns do. Being able to identify what the noun is doing is very important to the understanding of the English language. Visit my website. There's a huge amount of extra information to go with this video, including lots of exercises to help you learn and remember. | http://linguaspectrum.com/lessons/language_lessons/What%20Do%20Nouns%20Do/

  • Gringo-derengao?Mi Donkley can hablar more ingles than tu

  • G racias .muchas gracias

  • It's so sad to see all these complaining twats. Really, if you think that the video contains mistakes, just say so without being rude. Something constructive might actually come of it.

  • @gringoderengo Thanks for watching and for commenting. From one teacher of English to "another", shouldn't the pronoun "I" always be in upper-case, as should the e in English? And, do you mean by "i'm an english teacher" that you are a teacher who teaches English, or an English person who is also a teacher of the English language? Your first expletive also needs a "g" ending, or an apostrophe.

    Anyway, whatever you are, I appreciate your taking the time to comment on my work.

    Best wishes,

    Richard

  • @punchingpower your so fuckin right-... what fly? wtf is that....i'm an english teacher and i'm sorry but learn english before you try to teach it..... i totally agree with ya

  • punchingpower: English (and other languages) have sentences with SUBJECT + PREDICATE. The SUBJECT does an action; the PREDICATE is all of what the SUBJECT is doing.

    English sentences have SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECT structure. Sometimes an OBJECT isn't obvious. Watch the video at about 6:40. The OBJECT receives the action. A VERB and OBJECT make the PREDICATE.

    A prepositional object is at the end of a prepositional phrase.

    YouTube cuts videos at 10 minutes, ergo the abrupt end. Hope this helps.
