53136

And being able to speak more sophisticatedly.

01:03
of the characteristics of advanced English.

So this might sound like a really basic topic, but let's make sure
11
84167
2961
01:27
we get on the same page when it comes to understanding what exactly a noun is.
12
87128
4171
01:38
So, for example, can be used to describe a state or a condition.
13
98348
4129
01:42
We'll look at a couple of examples to make this clear.
14
102852
2253
01:52
So here's another example.
15
112695
1710
01:54
The verb subscribe becomes the noun subscription
16
114405
2878
01:57
So when you subscribe to something, you have a subscription.
17
117742
2378
02:00
Let's say, for example, that I want to subscribe to the RealLife English YouTube channel.
18
120703
