#29: Next Level Nouns

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.
