Sco 1_1 Introduction
V1: Welcome to part of speech town, I’m so glad you’ve won the types of noun
race challenge. Today, we are going to learn about singular and plural nouns. I’ll
show how to tell the difference between singular and plural nouns as I’m driving
in the part of speech town. Then, you‘ll get a chance show me your how much
you’ve learned as you are driving the car in the part of a speech town.
V2: Ok
V3:
There are two categories of nouns, singular and plural.
Singular noun is a noun used to represent one person, place or thing.
A plural noun is used to represent two or more persons, places or things.
As I said before, nouns either represent people, places, or things.
Examples of singular nouns would be:
 Boy
 Field
 Book
These are all examples of singular nouns.
Now let’s list some examples of plural nouns,
 Boys
 Fields
 Books

2. Sco 1_1 Exploring singular and plural nouns
V1:
You should notice that plural nouns have “s” at the end of each word.
Singular nouns do NOT have “s” at the end.
Let’s try a few more examples:
A student is a person, but the word doesn’t have “s” at the end so it must be a…
V2:
Singular noun!
V3:
That’s right, now markets are places, but the word doesn’t have “s” at the end so
it must be a…
V4:
Plural noun!
V5:
Good job! Ok, try this one: school!
V6:
Schools are places, so that tells me it’s a noun and it has “s” at the end so that
also tells me it’s a plural noun.
V7:
You’re doing wonderful! Let’s move on to things.
The word computer represents a thing and has no “s” at the end. So the word is
a…
V8:
Singular noun!
But if we are to talk about computers that would be a plural noun because we are

3. talking about many things.
V9:
Wow! I think you’re ready to start doing this on your own and just in time too.

Instructor:

V2
Student: Ok
V3
Instructor:
Before we start, let’s review what noun is.
Instructor:
A noun is a person, a place, or a thing.
There are two types of nouns, common nouns and proper nouns
Instructor:
As I said before, nouns either represent people, places, or things.

5. Instructor:
Examples of common nouns would be:
Instructor (a person)
Park (a place)
Bridge (a thing)
Instructor:
There are lots of instructors, parks and bridges
Instructor:
So far I haven’t specified any specific instructor, park or bridge
Instructor:
So these are all examples of common nouns
Instructor:
Now let’s list some examples of proper nouns
- Mr. John
- Central Park
- London Bridge

6. SCO 1_2 Example
V1:
Instructor:
Mr. John (that’s me) represents a specific person or instructor, Central Park is a
specific park in New York City and London Bridge is a specific bridge. I am sure
you have heard of London Bridge, the one that was falling.
You should also notice that proper nouns are capitalized. Common nouns are
NOT capitalized. Let’s try a few more examples: Author. An author is a person,
but it’s not a specific person and it’s not capitalized so it must be a
V2:
Student: Common noun!
V3:
Instructor:
That’s right, now Dr. Seuss is a person’s name. He’s also a specific author. So
Dr. Seuss would be a....
V4:
Student: Proper noun
V5:
Instructor:
Right again! Did you also notice that his name is capitalized?
Let’s try the word city. A city is a place where some people live. But it doesn’t
refer t o any particular city. So city is a….
V6:
Student: Common noun
V7:
Instructor:
Good job! Ok, try this one: New York is a particular city. So, New York city would
be a ….

7. V8:
Student: Proper noun!
Student:
And New York city is capitalized, so that also tells me it’s a proper noun
V9:
Instructor:
You’re doing wonderful! Let’s move on to things. The word dog represents an
animal. So the word dog is a...
V10:
Student: Common noun.
But if we are to talk about Fido, that would be a proper noun because we are
talking about a specific dog named Fido. And Fido is capitalized too.
V11:
Instructor:
Here’s one last question for you. If I say “My dog is a good boy” The word dog is
a common noun
V12:
Student:
I know this because “my dog” is not the name of a specific dog. And, also
because the word “dog” is not capitalized.
V13:
Instructor:
Wow! I think you’re ready to start doing this on your own and just in time too.
