Nouns Adjectives Adverbs | Parts of Speech | Learn Basic English Grammar Course | 15 Lessons

Hello, everybody. Welcome to this English course. 

Hola todos. Bienvenido a este curso de inglés.

In today's video, I'm going  to tell you about nouns. 

En el video de hoy, les hablaré sobre los sustantivos.

Because in English, nouns are very important. They are the basic element of a sentence. 

Porque en inglés, los sustantivos son muy importantes. Son el elemento básico de una oración.

So if you want to speak English, you need to know about the  

Entonces, si quieres hablar inglés, debes conocer los

different kinds of nouns. And I'm going to try and teach  

diferentes tipos de sustantivos. Y voy a tratar de enseñarte

you as well as I can. Let's get started! 

lo mejor que pueda. ¡Empecemos!

Ok, so let's start with concrete nouns. Now in English, concrete nouns  

Bien, empecemos con los sustantivos concretos. Ahora, en inglés, los sustantivos concretos

are people places or things, including animals. 

son personas, lugares o cosas, incluidos los animales.

That you can see, that you can smell, or taste, or hear, or touch. 

Que puedes ver, que puedes oler, saborear, oír o tocar.

So you can basically use your five senses. Let me give you a few examples. 

Así que básicamente puedes usar tus cinco sentidos. Déjame darte algunos ejemplos.

If we talk about people, 

Si hablamos de personas,

you could say, a man or a teacher, 

podrías decir, un hombre o un maestro,

or me, Fanny. Or Mr. Smith. 

o yo, Fanny. O el Sr. Smith.

If we talk about places, you could say, 

Si hablamos de lugares, podrías decir,

a house, a school. You could name a city like London. 

una casa, una escuela. Podrías nombrar una ciudad como Londres.

Very nice city. Or a beach. 

Muy bonita ciudad. O una playa.

And if you talk about things, you could say a shoe, 

Y si hablas de cosas, podrías decir un zapato,

you could say a marker, you could talk about a dog 

podrías decir un marcador, podrías hablar sobre un perro

or food like a pizza. These are concrete nouns....ok. 

o comida como una pizza. Estos son sustantivos concretos... ok.

Now let's move on to abstract nouns. So abstract nouns, unlike concrete nouns, 

Ahora pasemos a los sustantivos abstractos. Entonces los sustantivos abstractos, a diferencia de los sustantivos concretos,

are ideas, concepts, emotions. And you can't see an idea. 

son ideas, conceptos, emociones. Y no puedes ver una idea.

You can't smell a concept. You can't taste an emotion. 

No se puede oler un concepto. No puedes saborear una emoción.

Or hear it. Or touch it. So they are nouns. They are things that exist, but 

O escucharlo. O tocarlo. Entonces son sustantivos. Son cosas que existen, pero

you cannot see them, or taste them. You can't use your five sense. 

no puedes verlas, ni saborearlas. No puedes usar tus cinco sentidos.

To give you a few examples, we could talk about love, 

Por darte algunos ejemplos, podríamos hablar del amor, del

or time, or religion, 

tiempo, de la religión, de

rules. These are all words that represent 

las reglas. Todas estas son palabras que representan

ideas, concepts... okay They're abstract nouns in English. 

ideas, conceptos... está bien. Son sustantivos abstractos en inglés.

Now, let's get into more detail about nouns. Let's now see the difference between common nouns 

Ahora, entremos en más detalles sobre los sustantivos. Veamos ahora la diferencia entre los nombres comunes

and proper nouns which are  very important in English. 

y los nombres propios que son muy importantes en inglés.

So common nouns and proper nouns refer to people, places, things,  

Entonces, los nombres comunes y los nombres propios se refieren a personas, lugares, cosas,

ideas. Let's see a few examples. 

ideas. Veamos algunos ejemplos.

We could talk about people for example. A woman. 

Podríamos hablar de personas por ejemplo. Una mujer.

That's a common noun. But if we talk about a specific woman, 

Ese es un sustantivo común. Pero si hablamos de una mujer en concreto,

for example, me, Fanny. That becomes a proper noun with a capital 'F'. 

por ejemplo, yo, Fanny. Eso se convierte en un nombre propio con 'F' mayúscula.

because, and you should know this, proper nouns are always capitalized. 

porque, y debes saberlo, los nombres propios siempre van en mayúscula.

You could talk about places. A city. That's a common noun. 

Podrías hablar de lugares. Una ciudad. Ese es un sustantivo común.

But then you can name a specific city. Let's take a 

Pero luego puedes nombrar una ciudad específica. Tomemos una

great city, London, of course. With a capital 'L'. 

gran ciudad, Londres, por supuesto. Con 'L' mayúscula.

Remember proper nouns - always capitalized. We can talk about things for 

Recuerda los nombres propios, siempre en mayúscula. Podemos hablar de cosas por

example. An animal. Let's take a dog. A dog. 

ejemplo. Un animal. Tomemos un perro. Un perro.

That's a common noun. But if we take a specific dog, like  

Ese es un sustantivo común. Pero si tomamos un perro específico, como

Snoopy - capital 'S', that's the proper noun. 

Snoopy - 'S' mayúscula, ese es el nombre propio.

If we talk about things  again, but for example, a car, 

Si volvemos a hablar de cosas, pero por ejemplo, un coche,

that's a common noun. But if we name the brand,  

ese es un sustantivo común. Pero si nombramos la marca,

the specific brand of the car like Volvo, that's a proper noun. And it takes a capital 'V'. 

la marca específica del auto como Volvo, eso es un nombre propio. Y lleva una 'V' mayúscula.

And finally, and we can say, a team - common noun. But if we name a specific team, for example, 

Y finalmente, y podemos decir, un equipo - sustantivo común. Pero si nombramos un equipo específico, por ejemplo,

the best football team, Manchester United, 

el mejor equipo de fútbol, ​​el Manchester United,

then that's a proper noun and it's capitalized. 

entonces ese es un nombre propio y está en mayúscula.

Now mind you, 'team', is a special word because it's called 

Ahora fíjate, 'equipo', es una palabra especial porque se llama

a collective noun in English because it refers to a group of people. 

un sustantivo colectivo en inglés porque se refiere a un grupo de personas.

So collective nouns can be used as singular nouns or plural nouns. 

Entonces, los sustantivos colectivos se pueden usar como sustantivos singulares o sustantivos plurales.

But we will talk about this again later. So now that we know a lot about nouns in English, 

Pero volveremos a hablar de esto más adelante. Entonces, ahora que sabemos mucho sobre los sustantivos en inglés,

Let's practice finding nouns in a sentence. Okay, first, 

practiquemos cómo encontrar sustantivos en una oración. Bueno, primero,

In my class at Oxford  University, I have many friends. 

en mi clase en la Universidad de Oxford, tengo muchos amigos.

My best friend is Jan. I have a lot of love for her. 

Mi mejor amiga es Jan. La quiero mucho.

Jan has a cute dog. Its name is Juju. 

Jan tiene un lindo perro. Su nombre es Juju.

What are the nouns in these sentences? 

¿Cuáles son los sustantivos en estas oraciones?

If we take the first sentence, In my class at Oxford University,  

Si tomamos la primera oración, en mi clase en la Universidad de Oxford,

I have many friends. We have, class, and friends. 

tengo muchos amigos. Tenemos, clase, y amigos.

These are common nouns. We also have a proper noun, Oxford University. 

Estos son sustantivos comunes. También tenemos un nombre propio, Universidad de Oxford.

We know it's a proper noun  because it's capitalized. 

Sabemos que es un nombre propio porque está en mayúscula.

The second sentence is, My best friend is Jen. 

La segunda oración es, Mi mejor amiga es Jen.

Now in this sentence, the noun is, friend - common noun. 

Ahora, en esta oración, el sustantivo es, amigo - sustantivo común.

And there's also the word, Jen, is also a noun but a proper noun. 

Y también está la palabra, Jen, también es un sustantivo pero un nombre propio.

As you can see it's capitalized. Then, I have a lot of love for her. 

Como puedes ver, está en mayúsculas. Entonces, tengo mucho amor por ella.

What noun can you see? Of course, 'love'. 

¿Qué sustantivo puedes ver? Claro amor'.

Remember the abstract noun we talked about a few minutes ago. 

Recuerda el sustantivo abstracto del que hablamos hace unos minutos.

And finally, Jan has a cute dog. Its name is Juju. What nouns can we find? 

Y finalmente, Jan tiene un lindo perro. Su nombre es Juju. ¿Qué sustantivos podemos encontrar?

We can see, 'Jen', again - proper noun. 'Dog' - common noun. 

Podemos ver, 'Jen', otra vez - nombre propio. 'Perro' - sustantivo común.

But also, 'name', and 'Juju'. 'Name's' a common noun. 

Pero también, 'nombre' y 'Juju'. 'Nombre' es un sustantivo común.

'Juju' is the proper noun. It's capitalized. 

'Juju' es el nombre propio. Está en mayúscula.

As you probably know, I haven't mentioned, 'I', or 'her', or 'its'. 

Como probablemente sepa, no he mencionado 'yo', 'ella' o 'su'.

They are also nouns, but they are pronouns and they're considered a different  

También son sustantivos, pero son pronombres y se consideran una

category in English. We will talk about them in another video . 

categoría diferente en inglés. Hablaremos de ellos en otro vídeo.

Great job guys! Thank you for watching my video. 

¡Buen trabajo chicos! Gracias por visualizar mi video.

I hope you now have a better understanding of nouns in English. 

Espero que ahora tengas una mejor comprensión de los sustantivos en inglés.

Please keep practicing. Practice makes perfect. 

Por favor, sigue practicando. La práctica hace la perfección.

I'm sure you will very soon be able to recognize nouns in a sentence. 

Estoy seguro de que muy pronto serás capaz de reconocer los sustantivos en una oración.

Hello guys! And welcome to this English course on nouns. 

¡Hola, chicos! Y bienvenidos a este curso de inglés sobre sustantivos.

In today’s video, we’re going to  talk about singular and plural nouns.

En el video de hoy, vamos a hablar sobre los sustantivos singulares y plurales.

When you speak English, it’s very important  to know the difference between a singular noun  

Cuando hablas inglés, es muy importante saber la diferencia entre un sustantivo singular

and a plural noun. Ok? 

y un sustantivo plural. ¿De acuerdo?

So I will explain to you the different rules. And we will practice together. 

Así que te explicaré las diferentes reglas. Y practicaremos juntos.

Let’s get started. 

Empecemos.

Ok guys, the first you need to know  is that a singular noun means one. 

Ok chicos, lo primero que deben saber es que un sustantivo singular significa uno.

So, for example, I can say, ‘cat’. ‘a cat’ 

Entonces, por ejemplo, puedo decir, 'gato'. 'un gato'

‘one cat’ ‘school’ 

'un gato' 'escuela'

‘a school’ ‘one school’ 

'una escuela' 'una escuela'

‘team’ Now don’t forget, ‘team’ is a collective noun. 

'equipo' No olvides que 'equipo' es un sustantivo colectivo.

It’s a group of people, but  still, it’s a singular noun. 

Es un grupo de personas, pero aun así, es un sustantivo singular.

We talk about ‘a team’, or ‘one team. ‘lady’ 

Hablamos de 'un equipo', o 'un equipo'. 'dama'

‘monkey’ ‘tomato’ 

'mono' 'tomate'

‘a tomato’ ‘one tomato’ 

'un tomate' 'un tomate'

Or ‘piano’. Now, if we talk  

O 'piano'. Ahora bien, si hablamos

about plural nouns, it means more than one. So for example, two, three, four, or many. 

de sustantivos en plural, significa más de uno. Entonces, por ejemplo, dos, tres, cuatro o muchos.

If we take our words again,  ‘a cat’ becomes ‘cats’. 

Si retomamos nuestras palabras, 'un gato' se convierte en 'gatos'.

‘two cats’ ‘three cats’ 

'dos gatos' 'tres gatos'

‘many cats’ ‘school’’ becomes ‘schools’. 

'muchos gatos' 'escuela' se convierte en 'escuelas'.

‘team’ becomes ‘teams’. Ok, so you just add an ‘s’. 

'equipo' se convierte en 'equipos'. Ok, solo agregas una 's'.

Now ‘lady’ becomes ‘ladies. ‘monkey’ becomes ‘monkeys’. 

Ahora 'lady' se convierte en 'ladies'. 'mono' se convierte en 'monos'.

But, two different rules. As you can see, ‘lady’ is consonant + ‘y’. 

Pero, dos reglas diferentes. Como puedes ver, 'lady' es consonante + 'y'.

Now when you have consonant + ‘y’, in an  English word, the plural will be ‘ies’. 

Ahora, cuando tienes consonante + 'y', en una palabra en inglés, el plural será 'ies'.

‘lady’ ‘ladies’ 

'lady' 'ladies'

But when you have vowel + ‘y’ like  ‘monkey’, it just becomes ‘monkeys’. 

Pero cuando tienes vocal + 'y' como 'monkey', simplemente se convierte en 'monkeys'.

You simply add an ‘s’. Ok, ‘monkey’ becomes ‘monkeys’. 

Simplemente agregue una 's'. Ok, 'monkey' se convierte en 'monkeys'.

‘tomato’ becomes ‘tomatoes’. ‘piano’ ‘pianos’ 

'tomate' se convierte en 'tomates'. 'piano' 'pianos'

Again, two different rules. Now ‘tomato’ becomes ‘tomatoes’. 

Nuevamente, dos reglas diferentes. Ahora 'tomate' se convierte en 'tomates'.

You add ‘es’. And with most words ending in ‘o’,  

Agregas 'es'. Y como la mayoría de las palabras terminan en 'o',

so consonant + ‘o’, you will add ‘es’. But sometimes, you will only add ‘s’. 

entonces consonante + 'o', agregará 'es'. Pero a veces, solo agregará 's'.

Like ‘piano’, ‘pianos’. There is no particular rule for this. 

Como 'piano', 'pianos'. No hay una regla particular para esto.

You just need to know the words  that only end with an ‘s’. 

Solo necesitas saber las palabras que solo terminan en 's'.

Ok, let’s move on to some pronunciation now. So, when it comes to pronunciation, we have  

Ok, ahora pasemos a la pronunciación. Entonces, cuando se trata de pronunciación, tenemos

three different sounds. The first sound is /s/. 

tres sonidos diferentes. El primer sonido es /s/.

The second sound is /z/. And the third sounds is /Iz/. 

El segundo sonido es /z/. Y el tercer sonido es /Iz/.

So let’s review some words together and  be really careful, what sound do you hear? 

Entonces, repasemos algunas palabras juntos y tengamos mucho cuidado, ¿qué sonido escuchas?

‘cats’ ‘cats’ 

'gatos' 'gatos'

What can you hear? /s/ 

¿Qué puedes oír? /s/

Can you repeat after me. ‘cats’ 

¿Puedes repetir después de mí? 'gatos'

‘cats’ The second word is ‘schools’. 

'gatos' La segunda palabra es 'escuelas'.

‘schools’ What sound can you hear? 

'escuelas' ¿Qué sonido puedes escuchar?

Of course, /z/. Repeat after me. 

Por supuesto, /z/. Repite después de mi.

‘schools’ ‘schools’ 

'escuelas' 'escuelas'

The third words is ‘teams’. 

La tercera palabra es 'equipos'.

What sound can you hear? Again, /z/. 

¿Qué sonido puedes escuchar? De nuevo, /z/.

Repeat after me. ‘teams’ 

Repite después de mi. 'equipos'

‘teams’ Then we have ‘ladies’. 

'equipos' Luego tenemos 'damas'.

‘ladies’ /z/ 

'ladies' /z/

Repeat after me. ‘ladies’ 

Repite después de mí. 'damas'

‘ladies’ Then ‘monkeys’. 

'damas' Luego 'monos'.

/z/ again. Repeat after me. 

/z/ de nuevo. Repite después de mi.

‘monkeys’. ‘monkeys’ 

'monos'. 'monos'

Then we have ‘tomatoes’. Again, it’s the /z/ sound. 

Luego tenemos 'tomates'. De nuevo, es el sonido /z/.

‘tomatoes’ ‘tomatoes’ 

'tomates' 'tomates'

And finally, ‘pianos’. /z/ 

Y finalmente, 'pianos'. /z/

‘pianos’ ‘pianos’ 

'pianos' 'pianos'

Let’s move on to other rules now. Ok guys, let’s now talk about nouns  

Pasemos ahora a otras reglas. Ok chicos, ahora hablemos de los sustantivos

that end in ‘s’, ‘sh’, ‘x’, ‘ch’, or ‘z’. Now to make the plural form of these nouns,  

que terminan en 's', 'sh', 'x', 'ch' o 'z'. Ahora, para hacer la forma plural de estos sustantivos,

you will add ‘es’. And the sound will be /Iz/. 

agregará 'es'. Y el sonido será /Iz/.

Let’s review some words together. ‘bus’ becomes ‘buses’. 

Repasemos algunas palabras juntos. 'autobús' se convierte en 'autobuses'.

‘bush’ ‘bushes’ ‘fox’ ‘foxes’ 

'arbusto' 'arbustos' 'zorro' 'zorros'

‘beach’ ‘beaches’ ‘quiz’ ‘quizzes’ 

'playa' 'playas' 'prueba' 'pruebas'

Can you repeat after me? ‘buses’ ‘buses’ 

¿Puedes repetir después de mí? 'autobuses' 'autobuses'

‘bushes’ ‘bushes’ ‘foxes’ ‘foxes’ 

'arbustos' 'arbustos' 'zorros' 'zorros'

‘beaches’ ‘beaches’ ‘quizzes’ ‘quizzes’ 

'playas' 'playas' 'quizzes' 'quizzes'

Let’s move on. Ok, guys. 

Sigamos adelante. Ok muchachos.

Moving on to nouns that end in ‘f’ or ‘fe’. For example, ‘roof’ becomes ‘roofs’. 

Pasando a los sustantivos que terminan en 'f' o 'fe'. Por ejemplo, 'techo' se convierte en 'techos'.

‘safe’ ‘safes’ So you simply add an ‘s’. 

'safe' 'safes' Así que simplemente agrega una 's'.

Then we have ‘leaf’ that becomes ‘leaves’. Wait a minute. What happened? 

Entonces tenemos 'hoja' que se convierte en 'hojas'. Espera un minuto. ¿Qué sucedió?

Well, ya, sometimes in English, a word ending  in ‘f’ becomes a word ending in ‘ves’ in plural. 

Bueno, ya, a veces en inglés, una palabra que termina en 'f' se convierte en una palabra que termina en 'ves' en plural.

That’s not a rule. But some words end in ‘ves’,  

Esa no es una regla. Pero algunas palabras terminan en 'ves',

you just have to learn them I’m afraid. Another word, ‘wife’. 

solo tienes que aprenderlas, me temo. Otra palabra, 'esposa'.

And again, ‘ves’. ‘wives’ 

Y de nuevo, 'ves'. 'wives'

‘shelf’ ‘shelves’ Again, this ‘ves’ ending. 

'shelf' 'shelves' Nuevamente, esta terminación 'ves'.

Now let’s focus on pronunciation. ‘roofs’ 

Ahora centrémonos en la pronunciación. 'techos'

So it’s an /s/ sound. ‘roofs’ 

Así que es un sonido /s/. 'techos'

‘roofs’ Good job. 

'techos' Buen trabajo.

‘safes’ ‘safes’ 

'cajas fuertes' 'cajas fuertes'

Have you heard the /s/ sound? ‘safes’ 

¿Has escuchado el sonido /s/? 'cajas fuertes'

Then we have ‘leaves’. And this time it’s a /z/ sound. 

Luego tenemos 'hojas'. Y esta vez es un sonido /z/.

Repeat after me. 

Repite después de mi.

‘leaves’ ‘leaves’ 

'hojas' 'hojas'

Great. Moving on. ‘wives’ 

Genial. Hacia adelante. 'esposas'

‘wives’ And finally, 

'esposas' Y finalmente,

‘shelves’ 

'estanterías'

‘shelves’ Great job guys. 

'estanterías' Buen trabajo chicos.

Let’s move on to practice now. Well students, let’s now practice together. 

Pasemos a la práctica ahora. Bueno estudiantes, ahora practiquemos juntos.

I’m going to give you a singular noun, and  I want you to try and find the plural form  

Voy a darte un sustantivo en singular y quiero que trates de encontrar la forma plural

of this singular noun. Ok? 

de este sustantivo en singular. ¿De acuerdo?

Let’s give it a try. The first word is ‘baby’. 

Hagamos un intento. La primera palabra es 'bebé'.

‘baby’ Don’t forget, it ends with consonant + ‘y’. 

'bebé' No lo olvides, termina con consonante + 'y'.

Do you remember the rule? It’s ‘babies’ with ‘ies’. 

¿Recuerdas la regla? Es 'bebés' con 'ies'.

Very nice. ‘baby’ ‘babies’ 

Muy agradable. 'bebé' 'bebés'

The second word is ‘toy’. Hmmm, vowel + ‘y’. 

La segunda palabra es 'juguete'. Hmmm, vocal + 'y'.

So this time, ‘toys’. You simply add an ‘s’. 

Así que esta vez, 'juguetes'. Simplemente agregue una 's'.

Then we have ‘wish’. Wish is a word that ends in ‘sh’. 

Entonces tenemos 'deseo'. Deseo es una palabra que termina en 'sh'.

Remember the rule. ‘wishes’ 

Recuerda la regla. 'deseos'

You add ‘es’. ‘taxi’ becomes ‘taxis’. 

Agregas 'es'. 'taxi' se convierte en 'taxis'.

You simply add an ‘s’. ‘choice’ ‘choices’ 

Simplemente agregue una 's'. 'elección' 'opciones'

Simply add an ‘s’ as well. Then we have the word ‘wolf’. 

Simplemente agregue una 's' también. Luego tenemos la palabra 'lobo'.

Aha! It’s a word ending in ‘f’. 

¡Ajá! Es una palabra que termina en 'f'.

Is it a word with ‘ves’? It is. 

¿Es una palabra con 'ves'? Está.

‘wolves’ And finally, 

'lobos' Y finalmente,

‘photo’ Now remember the words ending in ‘o’? 

'foto' ¿Recuerdas las palabras que terminan en 'o'?

You can add ‘es’ or simply ‘s’. Well with photo, you simply add an ‘s’. 

Puede agregar 'es' o simplemente 's'. Bueno, con la foto, simplemente agregas una 's'.

‘photos’ Now if we focus on pronunciation now. 

'fotos' Ahora si nos centramos en la pronunciación ahora.

Repeat the words after me. ‘babies’ 

Repite las palabras después de mí. 'bebés'

The sound is /z/ ‘babies’ 

El sonido es /z/ 'bebés'

‘toys’ ‘toys’ 

'juguetes' 'juguetes'

‘wishes’ Remember this /Iz/ sound? 

'deseos' ¿Recuerdas este sonido /Iz/?

Repeat after me. ‘wishes’ 

Repite después de mi. 'deseos'

‘taxis’ ‘taxis’ 

'taxis' 'taxis'

‘choices’ ‘choices’ 

'opciones' 'opciones'

'persona' 'persona' 'gente'

‘people’ Very good guys. 

'gente' Muy bien chicos.

And the last one. ‘mouse’ ‘mouse’ 

Y el último. 'ratón' 'ratón'

‘mice’ ‘mice’ 

'ratones' 'ratones'

Excellent, guys. Let’s now move on to other irregular plural forms. 

Excelente, muchachos. Pasemos ahora a otras formas plurales irregulares.

Now there are words that have the  exact same singular and plural forms. 

Ahora bien, hay palabras que tienen exactamente las mismas formas singulares y plurales.

They are not common, but you need to know a few. Let’s take a look together. 

No son comunes, pero usted necesita saber algunos. Echemos un vistazo juntos.

As you can see, ‘sheep’ is the singular form. But the plural form is not ‘sheeps’. 

Como puede ver, 'oveja' es la forma singular. Pero la forma plural no es 'ovejas'.

It is ‘sheep’. Same goes for ‘deer’ ‘deer’. 

Es 'oveja'. Lo mismo ocurre con 'venado' 'venado'.

‘moose’ ‘moose’ ‘fish’ ‘fish’ 

'alce' 'alce' 'pez' 'pez'

‘aircraft’ ‘aircraft’ Ok, so you will say, “I see one sheep.” 

'avión' 'avión' Bien, dirás: “Veo una oveja”.

But also, “I see two sheep.” The exact same word. 

Pero también, “veo dos ovejas”. Exactamente la misma palabra.

Ok, let’s go back for pronunciation. I want you to repeat after me. 

Ok, volvamos a la pronunciación. Quiero que repitas después de mí.

‘sheep’ ‘sheep’ ‘deer’ ‘deer’ 

'oveja' 'oveja' 'venado' 'venado'

‘moose’ ‘moose’ ‘fish’ ‘fish’ 

'alce' 'alce' 'pez' 'pez'

‘aircraft’ ‘aircraft’ 

'avión' 'avión'

Good job guys. Let’s move to other irregular forms. 

Buen trabajo chicos. Pasemos a otras formas irregulares.

Some nouns are never singular. We always use their plural forms. 

Algunos sustantivos nunca son singulares. Siempre usamos sus formas plurales.

I have a few common ones for you guys. Let’s have a look. 

Tengo algunos comunes para ustedes. Echemos un vistazo.

‘jeans’ ‘pants’ 

'jeans' 'pantalones'

‘glasses’ ‘sunglasses’ 

'gafas' 'gafas de sol'

‘clothes’ ‘scissors’ 

'ropa' 'tijeras'

‘pajamas’ So you will say,  

'pijamas' Así que dirás:

“I have some jeans.” Or, “I have scissors.” 

“Tengo unos jeans”. O, “Tengo tijeras”.

But you cannot say, “I have a jean.” It is incorrect in English. 

Pero no puedes decir: “Tengo un jean”. Es incorrecto en inglés.

Let’s work a bit on pronunciation. Repeat after me, please. 

Trabajemos un poco en la pronunciación. Repita después de mí, por favor.

‘jeans’ ‘jeans’ ‘pants’ ‘pants’ 

'jeans' 'jeans' 'pantalones' 'pantalones'

‘glasses’ ‘glasses’ ‘sunglasses’ ‘sunglasses’ 

'gafas' 'gafas' 'gafas de sol' 'gafas de sol'

‘clothes’ ‘clothes’ ‘scissors’ ‘scissors’ 

'ropa' 'ropa' 'tijeras' 'tijeras'

And finally, ‘pajamas’ ‘pajamas’ 

Y finalmente, 'pijamas' 'pijamas'

Good guys. Let’s now look at other irregular plural forms. 

Buenos chicos. Veamos ahora otras formas plurales irregulares.

Now, just a few words about nouns in  English that have Latin and Greek origins. 

Ahora, solo unas pocas palabras sobre sustantivos en inglés que tienen orígenes latinos y griegos.

Their plural forms are very weird. It’s a bit complicated, so we’re  

Sus formas plurales son muy raras. Es un poco complicado, así que

not going to into too much detail. Don’t worry too much about them. 

no vamos a entrar en demasiados detalles. No te preocupes demasiado por ellos.

But just a few words that I think you should know. First, we have words ending in ‘a’. 

Pero solo unas pocas palabras que creo que deberías saber. Primero, tenemos palabras que terminan en 'a'.

Their plural form will end in ‘ae’. For example, 

Su forma plural terminará en 'ae'. Por ejemplo,

‘antenna’ becomes ‘antennae’ ‘alumna’ ‘alumnae’ 

'antenna' se convierte en 'antennae' 'alumna' 'alumnae'

Words ending in ‘us’, us, will end in ‘i’. ‘octopus’ ‘octopi’ 

Las palabras que terminan en 'nosotros', nosotros, terminarán en 'i'. 'pulpo' 'pulpos'

‘cactus’ ‘cacti’ Words ending in ‘is’, will end in ‘es’. 

'cactus' 'cacti' Las palabras terminadas en 'es' terminarán en 'es'.

‘is’ becomes ‘es’. For example, ‘analysis’ ‘analyses’ 

'es' se convierte en 'es'. Por ejemplo, 'analysis' 'analyses'

‘diagnosis’ ‘diagnoses’ And finally, words ending in ‘on’, end in ‘a’. 

'diagnosis' 'diagnoses' Y finalmente, las palabras que terminan en 'on', terminan en 'a'.

‘criterion’ ‘criteria’ ‘phenomenon’ ‘phenomena’ 

'criterio' 'criterios' 'fenómeno' 'fenómenos'

These plural forms are very difficult, guys. Even native speakers make a lot of mistakes,  

Estas formas plurales son muy difíciles, muchachos. Incluso los hablantes nativos cometen muchos errores,

so don’t worry too much about them. I just wanted to give you a little  

así que no te preocupes demasiado por ellos. Solo quería darles una pequeña

taste of Latin and Greek plurals. Let’s move on to example sentences now. 

muestra de los plurales latinos y griegos. Pasemos ahora a oraciones de ejemplo.

Hello guys, welcome back to  this English course on nouns. 

Hola chicos, bienvenidos de nuevo a este curso de inglés sobre sustantivos.

In today’s video, I’m going to  tell you about compound nouns. 

En el video de hoy, les hablaré sobre los sustantivos compuestos.

They are very common in English  and there are thousands of them. 

Son muy comunes en inglés y hay miles de ellos.

You need to know about them. Let’s get started. 

Necesitas saber sobre ellos. Empecemos.

A compound noun is made up of two different words. So you take two words, you put them together,  

Un sustantivo compuesto se compone de dos palabras diferentes. Así que tomas dos palabras, las unes,

to create a new noun. They’re usually quite easy to understand. 

para crear un nuevo sustantivo. Suelen ser bastante fáciles de entender.

For example, ‘full moon’. 

Por ejemplo, 'luna llena'.

‘Full’ is obviously the  adjective describing the moon. 

'Llena' es obviamente el adjetivo que describe a la luna.

Let’s take a look at other examples,  and how to create compound nouns. 

Echemos un vistazo a otros ejemplos y cómo crear sustantivos compuestos.

Sometimes, compound nouns are a single noun. Like, ‘toothpaste’. 

A veces, los sustantivos compuestos son un solo sustantivo. Como, 'pasta de dientes'.

Sometimes, they’re two or more words hyphenated. Such as ‘mother-in-law’. 

A veces, son dos o más palabras con guión. Como 'suegra'.

And sometimes, they’re two  separate words, like ‘ice cream’. 

Y a veces, son dos palabras separadas, como 'helado'.

Now, you have to be careful. Sometimes, you have a simple  

Ahora, tienes que tener cuidado. A veces, tienes un

adjective plus a noun like ‘a green house’. But you also have a compound noun which is  

adjetivo simple más un sustantivo como 'una casa verde'. Pero también tienes un sustantivo compuesto que tiene

a different meaning. ‘A greenhouse’. 

un significado diferente. 'Un invernadero'.

Now, ‘a green house’, is a house which is green. But the compound noun, ‘a greenhouse’,  

Ahora bien, 'una casa verde' es una casa que es verde. Pero el sustantivo compuesto, 'un invernadero',

is a place where you grow plants. Completely different meaning. 

es un lugar donde cultivas plantas. significado completamente diferente.

Ok, so you have to be careful. Stresses can help. 

Bien, entonces tienes que tener cuidado. El estrés puede ayudar.

Usually the stress is on the  first syllable in compound nouns. 

Por lo general, el acento se encuentra en la primera sílaba de los sustantivos compuestos.

Ok, I hope you get it guys. Let’s take a closer look now at compound nouns. 

Ok, espero que lo entiendan chicos. Echemos un vistazo más de cerca ahora a los sustantivos compuestos.

Ok, let’s now take a look at the parts  of speech that make up a compound noun. 

Ok, ahora echemos un vistazo a las partes del discurso que forman un sustantivo compuesto.

We can have a noun and another noun. Like, ‘bedroom’. 

Podemos tener un sustantivo y otro sustantivo. Como, 'dormitorio'.

We can also have a noun and a verb. Like, ‘haircut’. 

También podemos tener un sustantivo y un verbo. Como, 'corte de pelo'.

A noun and a preposition. Like, ‘passer-by’. 

Un sustantivo y una preposición. Como, 'transeúnte'.

A verb and a noun. Like, ‘washing machine’. 

Un verbo y un sustantivo. Como, 'lavadora'.

A verb and a preposition. Like, ‘drawback’. 

Un verbo y una preposición. Como, 'inconveniente'.

A preposition and a noun. Like, ‘underground’. 

Una preposición y un sustantivo. Como, 'subterráneo'.

An adjective and a ver. Like, ‘dry-cleaning’. 

Un adjetivo y un ver. Como, 'lavado en seco'.

An adjective and a noun. Like, ‘software’. 

Un adjetivo y un sustantivo. Como, 'software'.

Or a preposition and a verb. Like, ‘input’. 

O una preposición y un verbo. Como, 'entrada'.

As you can see guys, there are so many ways  to create compound nouns with different words. 

Como pueden ver chicos, hay muchas formas de crear sustantivos compuestos con diferentes palabras.

Now let’s get back to our  example for pronunciation. 

Ahora volvamos a nuestro ejemplo de pronunciación.

Please repeat after me. Bedroom 

Porfavor repita despues de mi. Dormitorio

Bedroom Haircut 

Dormitorio Corte

Haircut Passer-by 

de pelo Corte de pelo Transeúnte

Passer-by Washing machine 

Transeúnte Lavadora

Washing machine Drawback 

Lavadora Inconveniente

Drawback Underground 

Inconveniente Subterráneo

Underground Dry-cleaning 

Subterráneo Tintorería

Dry-cleaning Software 

Tintorería Software

Software Input 

Software Entrada

Good job guys. Now let’s now move on to plural compound nouns. 

Buen trabajo chicos. Ahora pasemos a los sustantivos compuestos en plural.

So when we want to make compound nouns  plural, there are rules to follow. 

Entonces, cuando queremos hacer que los sustantivos compuestos sean plurales, hay reglas a seguir.

If you have a single word, you simply add an ‘s’. But if you have separate words,  

Si tiene una sola palabra, simplemente agregue una 's'. Pero si tiene palabras separadas,

whether hyphenated or not, you will  make the most significant word plural. 

ya sea con guión o sin él, hará que la palabra más significativa sea plural.

Let’s take a look at examples. 

Echemos un vistazo a los ejemplos.

‘Newspaper’ will simply be ‘newspapers’. So I have man newspapers. 

'Periódico' será simplemente 'periódicos'. Así que tengo periódicos de hombre.

Swimming pool. Now, what’s the most significant word? 

Alberca. Ahora, ¿cuál es la palabra más significativa?

Well, it is ‘pool’. So we will say, ‘there are two swimming pools’. 

Bueno, es 'piscina'. Entonces diremos, 'hay dos piscinas'.

You cannot say, ‘there are two swimmings pools.’ No ‘s’ at swimming. 

No se puede decir, 'hay dos piscinas'. No hay 's' en la natación.

Brother-in-law What’s the most significant word? 

Cuñado ¿Cuál es la palabra más significativa?

Well of course, it is ‘brother’. So you will say, “I have two brothers-in-law”. 

Bueno, por supuesto, es 'hermano'. Entonces dirás: “Tengo dos cuñados”.

And finally, ‘woman doctor’. Now, what’s the most significant word? 

Y por último, 'doctora'. Ahora, ¿cuál es la palabra más significativa?

Actually, both words are significant. So we will both make them plural. 

En realidad, ambas palabras son significativas. Así que ambos los haremos en plural.

Remember, the plural form of ‘woman’ is ‘women’. So we will say, “Four women doctors work  

Recuerde, la forma plural de 'mujer' es 'mujeres'. Entonces diremos: “Cuatro doctoras trabajan

at the hospital”. Let’s work on pronunciation. 

en el hospital”. Trabajemos en la pronunciación.

Can you repeat after me, please. I have man newspapers. 

¿Puedes repetir después de mí, por favor? Tengo periódicos de hombre.

I have man newspapers. 

Tengo periódicos de hombre.

There are two swimming pools. There are two swimming pools. 

Hay dos piscinas. Hay dos piscinas.

I have two brothers-in-law. I have two brothers-in-law. 

Tengo dos cuñados. Tengo dos cuñados.

And finally, Four women doctors work at the hospital. 

Y finalmente, cuatro doctoras trabajan en el hospital.

Four women doctors work at the hospital. 

Cuatro doctoras trabajan en el hospital.

Good job guys. Now let’s move on to practice. 

Buen trabajo muchachos. Ahora pasemos a la práctica.

To practice, I have a few sentences. And I want you to tell me if we are using  

Para practicar, tengo algunas frases. Y quiero que me digas si estamos usando

compound nouns or not. Let’s take a look. 

sustantivos compuestos o no. Vamos a ver.

I want to drink some cold water. Is ‘cold water’ a compound noun? 

Quiero beber un poco de agua fría. ¿'Agua fría' es un sustantivo compuesto?

What do you think? It isn’t. 

¿Qué piensas? no lo es

‘Cold’ is a simply adjective describing the water. 

'Fría' es simplemente un adjetivo que describe el agua.

She has a new boy friend. Is boy friend a compound noun? 

Ella tiene un nuevo novio. ¿Boy friend es un sustantivo compuesto?

Well, it isn’t in this case. He’s your friend and he’s a boy. 

Bueno, no es en este caso. Es tu amigo y es un chico.

But the compound noun, ‘boyfriend’, in one  word, exists and has a different meaning. 

Pero el sustantivo compuesto, 'novio', en una palabra, existe y tiene un significado diferente.

Then, your boyfriend is more than a friend. He’s the boy you’re having a relationship with. 

Entonces, tu novio es más que un amigo. Es el chico con el que tienes una relación.

Other example. The blue bird was singing in the tree. 

Otro ejemplo. El pájaro azul cantaba en el árbol.

Is ‘blue bird’ a compound noun? Not in this case. 

¿'Pájaro azul' es un sustantivo compuesto? No en este caso.

It’s a simple bird and it’s blue. But, the compound noun, ‘bluebird’,  

Es un pájaro simple y es azul. Pero, el sustantivo compuesto, 'pájaro azul',

in one word, exists. It’s a specific bird. 

en una palabra, existe. Es un pájaro específico.

Let’s meet at the bus stop. Is ‘bus stop’ a compound noun? 

Encontrémonos en la parada de autobús. ¿Parada de autobús es un sustantivo compuesto?

What do you think? It is. 

¿Qué piensas? Está.

I have two alarms clock. 

Tengo dos despertadores.

What about ‘alarms clock’? Well, it is a compound noun,  

¿Qué pasa con 'despertadores'? Bueno, es un sustantivo compuesto,

but there is a big mistake. Can you see it? 

pero hay un gran error. ¿Puedes verlo?

Of course, the plural form. The plural form is not ‘alarms clock’. 

Por supuesto, la forma plural. La forma plural no es 'despertadores'.

But, ‘alarm clocks’. Because the most significant word is ‘clock’. 

Pero, 'despertadores'. Porque la palabra más significativa es 'reloj'.

Ok guys, let’s move on. Thank you for watching. 

Ok chicos, sigamos. Gracias por ver.

I hope you better understand compound  nouns and how to create them. 

Espero que entiendas mejor los sustantivos compuestos y cómo crearlos.

There are so many compound  nouns in the English language,  

Hay tantos sustantivos compuestos en el idioma inglés,

but they are usually very easy to understand. 

pero por lo general son muy fáciles de entender.

And if you’re not sure,  look it up in a dictionary. 

Y si no estás seguro, búscalo en un diccionario.

The dictionary will tell you  if it’s a compound noun or not. 

El diccionario te dirá si es un sustantivo compuesto o no.

Thank you for watching guys. And see you in the next videos.

Hello, guys. Welcome back to this English course on nouns. 

Hola, chicos. Bienvenido de nuevo a este curso de inglés sobre sustantivos.

In this video, I’m going to tell you  about countable and uncountable nouns. 

En este video les voy a hablar de los sustantivos contables e incontables.

It’s very important to know the  difference between countable  

Es muy importante saber la diferencia entre

and uncountable nouns in English. And students often get confused. 

sustantivos contables e incontables en inglés. Y los estudiantes a menudo se confunden.

So please listen to me very carefully. Let’s get started. 

Así que por favor escúchame con mucha atención. Empecemos.

Countable nouns are nouns that you can count. 

Los sustantivos contables son sustantivos que puedes contar.

Uncountable nouns are nouns that you can’t count. They’re usually a type or a group. 

Los sustantivos incontables son sustantivos que no puedes contar. Suelen ser un tipo o un grupo.

And they’re always singular. Let’s look at a few examples. 

Y siempre son singulares. Veamos algunos ejemplos.

Countable nouns – you can say, “a dog.” You can say, “one dog,” “two  

Sustantivos contables: puedes decir "un perro". Puede decir "un perro", "dos

dogs,” “three dogs,” and so on. “Man.” 

perros", "tres perros", etc. "Hombre."

You can say, “a man.” “Two men.” 

Puedes decir "un hombre". "Dos hombres." "Ocurrencia." Puede decir "una idea", "dos ideas", etc.

“Idea.” You can say, “one idea,” “two ideas,” and so on. 

“Computer.” Again, you can say, “one computer, two computers.” 

"Ordenador." Nuevamente, puede decir, "una computadora, dos computadoras".

And, “house.” Well, you can say, “one house, two houses,  

Y, "casa". Bueno, puedes decir, “una casa, dos casas,

three houses,” and so on. These are countable nouns. 

tres casas”, y así sucesivamente. Estos son sustantivos contables.

You can count them. But if we look at uncountable nouns. 

Puedes contarlos. Pero si nos fijamos en los sustantivos incontables.

When you say, “water.” You can’t say, “One water, two waters.” 

Cuando dices "agua". No puedes decir: “Un agua, dos aguas”.

It doesn’t make any sense. You cannot count water. 

No tiene ningún sentido. No se puede contar el agua.

Same goes for air. You can’t say, “one air, two airs.” 

Lo mismo ocurre con el aire. No puedes decir, “un aire, dos aires”.

It’s just ‘air’. It’s uncountable. 

Es solo 'aire'. Es incontable.

‘traffic’ ‘English’ 

'traffic' 'English'

‘Equipment’ These are all uncountable nouns. 

'Equipment' Todos estos son sustantivos incontables.

You cannot count them And they’re always singular. 

No puedes contarlos y siempre son singulares.

Okay, guys. Now, let’s take a closer look at rules with  

Bien, chicos. Ahora, echemos un vistazo más de cerca a las reglas con

countable nouns and uncountable nouns. So how do we know if a word  

sustantivos contables e incontables. Entonces, ¿cómo sabemos si una palabra

is countable or uncountable? Well there are a few tricks that can help. 

es contable o incontable? Bueno, hay algunos trucos que pueden ayudar.

Let’s look at these words. Some groups of words are very often uncountable. 

Miremos estas palabras. Algunos grupos de palabras son muy a menudo incontables.

And this can help you. For example, liquids. 

Y esto te puede ayudar. Por ejemplo, líquidos.

Water, juice, milk, beer. All those words are uncountable. 

Agua, jugo, leche, cerveza. Todas esas palabras son incontables.

Powders. Sugar, flour, salt, rice. 

Polvos. Azúcar, harina, sal, arroz.

Uncountable words as well. Materials. Such as wood, plastic, metal, or paper. 

Palabras incontables también. Materiales. Como madera, plástico, metal o papel.

Food as well. Like fruit, meat, cheese, and bread. 

La comida también. Como fruta, carne, queso y pan.

And finally, abstract ideas. Like time, information, love, and beauty. 

Y finalmente, las ideas abstractas. Como el tiempo, la información, el amor y la belleza.

Another trick is that most of the time,  you can measure uncountable nouns. 

Otro truco es que la mayoría de las veces puedes medir sustantivos incontables.

Let’s look at examples. For example, if we take liquids. 

Veamos ejemplos. Por ejemplo, si tomamos líquidos.

I have two liters of milk. Now, you cannot count milk. 

Tengo dos litros de leche. Ahora, no puedes contar la leche.

But you can measure milk. And you can count liters. 

Pero puedes medir la leche. Y puedes contar litros.

So you can say, “I have two liters of milk.” You can say, “I have a glass of water.” 

Entonces puedes decir: “Tengo dos litros de leche”. Puedes decir: “Tengo un vaso de agua”.

Or “I have glasses of water.” “Cups of coffee.” 

O “Tengo vasos de agua”. "Tazas de café."

“Bottles of water.” So you can measure this uncountable noun. 

"Botellas de agua." Entonces puedes medir este sustantivo incontable.

Same goes with powders. “I have one kilogram of sugar.” 

Lo mismo ocurre con los polvos. “Tengo un kilogramo de azúcar”.

“Two kilograms of sugar.” With materials and foods,  

"Dos kilogramos de azúcar". Con materiales y alimentos,

we often use the word, ‘piece’. For example, “I ate two pieces of cake.” 

a menudo usamos la palabra 'pieza'. Por ejemplo, “Me comí dos pedazos de pastel”.

Or bread. Or pizza. 

O pan. O pizzería.

Or meat. Or cheese. 

O carne. O queso.

“I need pieces of paper.” Wood. 

"Necesito pedazos de papel". Madera.

Plastic. Metal. 

El plastico. Metal.

Or “I have some water.” ‘Some’ is an article that always  

O "Tengo un poco de agua". 'Some' es un artículo que siempre

works with uncountable nouns. Ok guys, I hope you understand. 

funciona con sustantivos incontables. Ok chicos, espero que entiendan.

Let’s move on. Some words can be both countable  

Vamonos. Algunas palabras pueden ser tanto

and uncountable nouns. Now not all of them. 

sustantivos contables como incontables. Ahora no todos.

But some of them. Let’s take a look. 

Pero algunos de ellos. Vamos a ver.

“I would like to eat some cake.” “I would like two pieces of cake.” 

"Me gustaría comer un poco de pastel". “Quisiera dos pedazos de pastel.”

So in these two sentences, ‘cake’  is obviously and uncountable noun. 

Entonces, en estas dos oraciones, 'pastel' es obviamente un sustantivo incontable.

But if I say, “I would like to eat two cakes.” Suddenly, it becomes a countable noun. 

Pero si digo: “Me gustaría comer dos pasteles”. De repente, se convierte en un sustantivo contable.

Why? Because in the first two sentences,  

¿Por qué? Porque en las dos primeras oraciones,

we are talking about pieces of one cake. In the last sentence,  

estamos hablando de pedazos de un pastel. En la última oración,

we are considering the whole cake. So it becomes countable. 

estamos considerando todo el pastel. Entonces se vuelve contable.

Another example. “I would like to eat some chicken.” 

Otro ejemplo. "Me gustaría comer un poco de pollo".

“I would like to eat a piece of chicken.” Both sentences, uncountable noun, ‘chicken’. 

“Me gustaría comer un trozo de pollo”. Ambas oraciones, sustantivo incontable, 'pollo'.

But the last sentence, “I see two chickens.” Hmm, ‘chicken’, in this case, is a countable noun. 

Pero la última oración, "Veo dos pollos". Hmm, 'pollo', en este caso, es un sustantivo contable.

Why? Because  

¿Por qué? Porque

in the first two sentences, ‘chicken’ is food. But in the last sentence, ‘chicken’ is an animal. 

en las dos primeras oraciones, 'pollo' es comida. Pero en la última oración, 'pollo' es un animal.

So the animal is a countable noun. ‘Chicken’ as food is uncountable. 

Entonces el animal es un sustantivo contable. El 'pollo' como alimento es incontable.

Hope you get it. Let’s move on to example sentences now. 

Espero que lo consigas. Pasemos ahora a oraciones de ejemplo.

Let’s now review a few example  sentences, so you can practice  

Ahora revisemos algunas oraciones de ejemplo, para que puedas practicar el

using countable and uncountable nouns. Please repeat after me. 

uso de sustantivos contables e incontables. Porfavor repita despues de mi.

And be careful to use proper pronunciation. Let’s get started. 

Y tenga cuidado de usar la pronunciación adecuada. Empecemos.

First sentence guys. “I put one hundred

candles on six cakes.” Please repeat after me. 

velas en seis pasteles”. Porfavor repita despues de mi.

“I put one hundred candles on six cakes.” “I put one hundred candles on six cakes.”

Hello, guys. And welcome to this English course on adjectives. 

Hola, chicos. Y bienvenidos a este curso de inglés sobre adjetivos.

In today’s video, I’m going to tell you  everything there is to know about adjectives. 

En el video de hoy, les voy a contar todo lo que hay que saber sobre los adjetivos.

And what they are exactly. The best way to describe  

Y cuales son exactamente. La mejor manera de describir

an adjective in English is to say that it’s a word that describes or clarifies a noun. 

un adjetivo en inglés es decir que es una palabra que describe o aclara un sustantivo.

It gives you information on people,  things, ideas, nouns, or pronouns. 

Le brinda información sobre personas, cosas, ideas, sustantivos o pronombres.

It is very important to  understand what adjectives are 

Es muy importante entender qué son los adjetivos

and to know how to use them. Because they are essential when you speak English. 

y saber usarlos. Porque son esenciales cuando hablas inglés.

Let’s get started. 

Empecemos.

Adjectives give us so much  information about nouns. 

Los adjetivos nos dan mucha información sobre los sustantivos.

Let’s, for example, take a common noun, ‘cup’. And see how many ways there  

Tomemos, por ejemplo, un sustantivo común, 'taza'. Y mira cuántas formas hay

are in English to describe a cup using different kinds of adjectives. 

en inglés para describir una taza usando diferentes tipos de adjetivos.

Let’s see. We can say,  

Veamos. Podemos decir:

“It’s a great cup.” Just give your opinion. 

“Es una gran taza”. Solo da tu opinión.

“It’s a big cup.” Talking  about the size of the cup. 

"Es una taza grande". Hablando del tamaño de la taza.

If you want to talk about the  shape of the cup you could say, 

Si quieres hablar sobre la forma de la taza, podrías decir:

“It’s a round cup.” “It’s an old cup.” 

"Es una taza redonda". "Es una taza vieja".

If you want to talk about age. Or if you want to say what colour it is, 

Si quieres hablar de la edad. O si quieres decir de qué color es,

“It’s a white cup.” Or talking about temperature, 

“Es una taza blanca”. O hablando de temperatura,

“It’s a cold cup.” “It’s a broken cup.” If you make observations. 

“Es una taza fría”. “Es una copa rota”. Si haces observaciones.

“It’s a Korean cup.” Talking about origins. Or you can mention the material. 

"Es una copa coreana". Hablando de orígenes. O puede mencionar el material.

“It’s a plastic cup.” Or “It’s a coffee cup.”  

"Es un vaso de plástico". O "Es una taza de café".

Talking about the purpose of the cup. Now ‘coffee’ as you know is a noun. 

Hablando sobre el propósito de la copa. Ahora, 'café', como saben, es un sustantivo.

But in this case, it can be used as an adjective. All these adjectives are places before the noun. 

Pero en este caso, puede usarse como adjetivo. Todos estos adjetivos son lugares antes del sustantivo.

Let’s learn more about adjectives. Adjectives can found before the noun. 

Aprendamos más sobre los adjetivos. Los adjetivos se pueden encontrar antes del sustantivo.

It’s called the attribute position. Or after the noun. 

Se llama la posición del atributo. O después del sustantivo.

Which is called the predicative position. And it’s just as common. 

Lo que se llama la posición predicativa. Y es igual de común.

Adjectives which are found after a  verb, describe the subject of this verb. 

Los adjetivos que se encuentran después de un verbo describen el sujeto de este verbo.

Usually a noun or a pronoun. So if we take the sentence, “The girl is nice.” 

Por lo general, un sustantivo o un pronombre. Entonces, si tomamos la oración, "La chica es agradable".

The adjective, ‘nice’, refers to the  subject of the sentence, ‘the girl’. 

El adjetivo, 'bonito', se refiere al sujeto de la oración, 'la niña'.

But it is placed after the verb ‘to be’. “My students are happy.” 

Pero se coloca después del verbo 'to be'. “Mis alumnos están felices”.

Same thing. The adjective, ‘happy’, describes  

La misma cosa. El adjetivo, 'feliz', describe

the subject of the sentence, ‘my students’. But it is placed after the verb. 

el sujeto de la oración, 'mis estudiantes'. Pero se coloca después del verbo.

I hope you understand guys. Let’s move on to practice now. 

Espero que entiendan chicos. Pasemos a la práctica ahora.

Let’s now practice finding  adjectives in a few sentences. 

Ahora practiquemos cómo encontrar adjetivos en algunas oraciones.

“I’m a tall woman.” Can you see the adjective in this sentence? 

"Soy una mujer alta". ¿Puedes ver el adjetivo en esta oración?

I hope you can. The adjective is ‘tall’. 

Espero que puedas. El adjetivo es 'alto'.

It gives you the height of the woman. 

Te da la altura de la mujer.

“I’m a British woman.” Now where is the adjective? 

"Soy una mujer británica". Ahora, ¿dónde está el adjetivo?

The adjective is ‘British’. Gives you the origins of this woman. 

El adjetivo es 'británico'. Te da los orígenes de esta mujer.

“I have blonde hair.” Now what’s the adjective in this sentence? 

"Tengo cabello rubio." Ahora, ¿cuál es el adjetivo en esta oración?

Of course guys, it is ‘blonde’. It gives you the color of the hair. 

Por supuesto chicos, es 'rubio'. Te da el color del pelo.

“My eyes are blue.” Now that’s a different sentence. 

"Mis ojos son azules." Ahora esa es una oración diferente.

Can you spot the adjective? The adjective is ‘blue. 

¿Puedes identificar el adjetivo? El adjetivo es 'azul'.

What’s blue? My eyes. 

¿Qué es azul? Mis ojos.

‘My eyes’ is the subject of the sentence and the adjective is ‘blue’. 

'Mis ojos' es el sujeto de la oración y el adjetivo es 'azul'.

“I’m nice.” Again, can you spot the adjective? 

"Yo soy agradable." Nuevamente, ¿puedes identificar el adjetivo?

It’s ‘nice’. Okay? 

Es agradable'. ¿Okey?

And finally, “The weather is cold.” 

Y finalmente, "El clima es frío".

What’s the adjective? 

¿Cuál es el adjetivo?

Where is it? Can you see it? 

¿Dónde está? ¿Puedes verlo?

The adjective is ‘cold’. What’s cold? 

El adjetivo es 'frío'. ¿Qué hace frío?

The weather. ‘The weather’ is the  

El clima. 'El clima' es el

subject and the adjective is ‘cold’. Now in the first three sentences,  

sujeto y el adjetivo es 'frío'. Ahora, en las primeras tres oraciones,

it’s the attribute position. Remember? 

es la posición del atributo. ¿Recordar?

The adjective comes before the noun. And in the last three sentences, it’s  

El adjetivo va antes del sustantivo. Y en las últimas tres oraciones, es

the predicative position. Remember? 

la posición predicativa. ¿Recordar?

The adjective comes after the noun. And in this case, after the verb ‘to be’. 

El adjetivo viene después del sustantivo. Y en este caso, después del verbo 'to be'.

I hope you understand this. 

Espero que entiendas esto.

Good job. Okay, guys. 

Buen trabajo. Bien, chicos.

Let’s go through the sentences again. This time focusing on pronunciation. 

It’s very important that you  repeat the sentences after me 

to practice saying these adjectives in a sentence. Okay, let’s get started. 

Repasemos las oraciones de nuevo. Esta vez centrándonos en la pronunciación. Es muy importante que repitas las oraciones después de mí

para practicar cómo decir estos adjetivos en una oración. Bien, comencemos.

“I’m a tall woman.” Can you repeat after me? 

"Soy una mujer alta". ¿Puedes repetir después de mí?

Twice. First, “I’m  

Dos veces. Primero, “soy

Hello, guys. 

Hola, chicos.

Welcome to this English course on adjectives. In today’s video, I’m going to talk about  

Bienvenido a este curso de inglés sobre adjetivos. En el video de hoy, voy a hablar sobre los

prefixes and suffixes that are commonly  added to adjectives in English. 

prefijos y sufijos que comúnmente se agregan a los adjetivos en inglés.

A prefix is a few letters added to a beginning  of a word to change the meaning of that word. 

Un prefijo son algunas letras añadidas al comienzo de una palabra para cambiar el significado de esa palabra.

And a suffix is a few letters added to  the end of the word to change the meaning. 

Y un sufijo son algunas letras añadidas al final de la palabra para cambiar el significado.

We’ll get more into detail. Let’s get started. 

Entraremos más en detalle. Empecemos.

Let’s take a look at a few  adjectives with prefixes. 

Echemos un vistazo a algunos adjetivos con prefijos.

Again a ‘prefix’ is a few letters added  to the beginning of the adjective. 

Nuevamente, un 'prefijo' son algunas letras añadidas al comienzo del adjetivo.

Mostly to make it negative. Let’s take a look at a few examples. 

Sobre todo para hacerlo negativo. Echemos un vistazo a algunos ejemplos.

First we have the prefix ‘un’. U, n. For example, if we take the word, ‘fair’, and  

Primero tenemos el prefijo 'un'. U, n. Por ejemplo, si tomamos la palabra 'justo' y

want to make it negative, we can add u – n to have  the word ‘unfair’ which is the opposite of fair. 

queremos hacerla negativa, podemos agregar u – n para tener la palabra 'injusto', que es lo opuesto a justo.

Same goes for ‘happy’. ‘unhappy’ 

Lo mismo ocurre con 'feliz'. 'infeliz'

‘sure’ become ‘unsure’. 

'seguro' se convierte en 'inseguro'.

Another prefix is i –n , ‘in’. To make the adjective negative, again, 

Otro prefijo es i –n , 'en'. Para hacer el adjetivo negativo, de nuevo,

For example, ‘active’ – ‘inactive’. ‘appropriate’ 

Por ejemplo, 'activo' - 'inactivo'. 'apropiado'

’inappropriate’ ‘complete’ 

'inapropiado' 'completo'

‘incomplete’ The prefix i –r now, ‘ir’. 

'incompleto' El prefijo i –r ahora, 'ir'.

For example, ‘responsible’ 

Por ejemplo, 'responsable'

‘irresponsible’ ‘regular’ 

'irresponsable' 'regular'

‘irregular’ ‘rational’ 

'irregular' 'racional'

‘irrational’ 

'irracional'

Then we have the prefix i –m, ‘im’. For example, 

Luego tenemos el prefijo i –m, 'im'. Por ejemplo,

‘balance’ ‘imbalance’ 

'equilibrio' 'desequilibrio'

‘polite’ ‘impolite’ 

'cortés' 'descortés'

‘possible’ ‘impossible’ 

'posible' 'imposible'

And finally, the prefix, ‘il’. I – l. 

Y finalmente, el prefijo 'il'. Illinois.

Like, ‘legal’ ‘illegal’ 

Like, 'legal' 'illegal'

‘literate’ ‘illiterate’ 

'literate' 'illiterate'

‘logical’ ‘illogical’ 

'logical' 'illogical'

These are just a few examples, guys. There are so many other prefixes in English.

Hello students and welcome back to my English course on adjectives.

In this video, I'm going to talk to you about intensifiers and mitigators.

Now what are those? Don't be scared of their names. 

Now what are those? Don't be scared of their names.

Intensifiers are simply words that  will make adjectives stronger. 

Intensifiers are simply words that will make adjectives stronger.

They will give adjectives  more power or more emphasis. 

They will give adjectives more power or more emphasis.

For example, two very common intensifiers  in English are ‘really’ and ‘very’. 

For example, two very common intensifiers in English are 'really' and 'very'.

Mitigators on the other hand, make the adjectives  weaker like the words brother or family. 

Mitigators on the other hand, make the adjectives weaker like the words brother or family.

But we're gonna go into a little more detail. Keep watching. 

But we're gonna go into a little more detail. Keep watching.

Let's start with intensifiers. And I have a list of intensifies for you.

Of course these are not all of them,  but it's a good start because they are

very common in English. Echemos un vistazo.

really This video is really interesting.

The adjectives in this sentence is  interesting and we make it stronger  

The adjectives in this sentence is interesting and we make it stronger

with the intensifier, ‘really’. It's really interesting. 

with the intensifier, 'really'. It's really interesting.

very For example, I'm very happy to learn English. 

very For example, I'm very happy to learn English.

The adjective is ‘happy’. And we give it more power with the intensifier. 

The adjective is 'happy'. And we give it more power with the intensifier.

very I am very happy to learn English. 

very I am very happy to learn English.

Other intensifiers include absolutely. or example your new dress is absolutely  

Other intensifiers include absolutely. or example your new dress is absolutely

amazing. ‘extremely’ 

amazing. 'extremely'

Like ‘It's extremely cold outside.” 

Like 'It's extremely cold outside.”

‘incredibly’ For example, ‘Your son is incredibly smart.’ 

'incredibly' For example, 'Your son is incredibly smart.'

‘completely’ ‘My wallet is completely empty.’ 

'completely' 'My wallet is completely empty.'

unusually ‘The classroom was unusually quiet.’ 

unusually 'The classroom was unusually quiet.'

And finally, ‘enough’. ‘He isn't old enough to drive.’ 

And finally, 'enough'. 'He isn't old enough to drive.'

Now for this last sentence, the adjective  is old and II intensifier is enough. 

Now for this last sentence, the adjective is old and II intensifier is enough.

It's a special case because as you can hear and  see, ‘enough’ always comes after the adjective. 

It's a special case because as you can hear and see, 'enough' always comes after the adjective.

Intensifiers are commonly used with  comparative and superlative adjectives. 

Intensifiers are commonly used with comparative and superlative adjectives.

For example, with comparative  adjectives, we offer news much. 

For example, with comparative adjectives, we offer news much.

For example, ‘He runs much faster than me.’ ‘Faster’ is the comparative form  

For example, 'He runs much faster than me.' 'Faster' is the comparative form

of the adjective ‘fast’. And to intensify the comparison,  

of the adjective 'fast'. And to intensify the comparison,

we use the intensifier ‘much’. So he runs much faster than me. 

we use the intensifier 'much'. So he runs much faster than me.

We also use ‘a lot’. For example, ‘This red bag  

We also use 'a lot'. For example, 'This red bag

is a lot heavier than this white bag’. ‘heavier’ is the comparative form of  

is a lot heavier than this white bag'. 'heavier' is the comparative form of

the adjective ‘heavy’. And we make it even more  

the adjective 'heavy'. And we make it even more

powerful with ‘a lot heavier’. And we also use ‘fun’. 

powerful with 'a lot heavier'. And we also use 'fun'.

For example, ‘She is far taller than me’. ‘taller’ is the comparative of ‘tall’. 

For example, 'She is far taller than me'. 'taller' is the comparative of 'tall'.

We make it more powerful with ‘far’. ‘Far taller than me’. 

We make it more powerful with 'far'. 'Far taller than me'.

Now with superlative  adjectives, we can use ‘easily’. 

Now with superlative adjectives, we can use 'easily'.

For example, ‘This is easily  the best restaurant in town’. 

For example, 'This is easily the best restaurant in town'.

‘best’ is the superlative  form of the adjective ‘good’. 

'best' is the superlative form of the adjective 'good'.

And we make it even more powerful by  saying, ‘easily the best restaurant’. 

And we make it even more powerful by saying, 'easily the best restaurant'.

And we also use ‘by far’. For example,  

And we also use 'by far'. For example,

‘Sarah is by far the smartest girl in class’. Let's move on to mitigators. 

'Sarah is by far the smartest girl in class'. Let's move on to mitigators.

Now mitigators are the opposite of intensifiers. They weaken the adjectives. 

Now mitigators are the opposite of intensifiers. They weaken the adjectives.

Let's look at a few examples. Mitigators include ‘fairly’. 

Let's look at a few examples. Mitigators include 'fairly'.

For example, ‘It's fairly sunny today’. The adjective ‘sunny’ is  

For example, 'It's fairly sunny today'. The adjective 'sunny' is

weakened by the mitigator ‘fairly’. So it's not sunny it's a bit less than sunny. 

weakened by the mitigator 'fairly'. So it's not sunny it's a bit less than sunny.

Other mitigator ‘rather’. So when I say, ‘I'm rather tired’, 

Other mitigator 'rather'. So when I say, 'I'm rather tired',

I'm not exactly tired. I'm a bit less. 

I'm not exactly tired. I'm a bit less.

The adjective is less powerful  because of this ‘rather’. 

The adjective is less powerful because of this 'rather'.

Other example, ‘pretty’. ‘It's pretty expensive’. 

Other example, 'pretty'. 'It's pretty expensive'.

Which means it's not expensive. It's a little bit less. 

Which means it's not expensive. It's a little bit less.

Oh quite like, ‘The movie was quite good’. The adjective ‘good’  

Oh quite like, 'The movie was quite good'. The adjective 'good'

is less powerful because of this ‘quite’. Now be very careful because if you use ‘quite’  

is less powerful because of this 'quite'. Now be very careful because if you use 'quite'

with an extreme adjective such as ‘terrible’, ‘perfect’, ‘enormous’, or ‘excellent’ – 

with an extreme adjective such as 'terrible', 'perfect', 'enormous', or 'excellent' –

quite means ‘absolutely’. It becomes an intensifier. 

quite means 'absolutely'. It becomes an intensifier.

For example, ‘She is quite gorgeous.’ Means she is absolutely gorgeous. 

For example, 'She is quite gorgeous.' Means she is absolutely gorgeous.

It's more powerful because  of the intensified ‘quite’. 

It's more powerful because of the intensified 'quite'.

So be very careful when you use ‘quite’  because depending on the adjective that you 

So be very careful when you use 'quite' because depending on the adjective that you

choose it has a different meaning. And it can be either an intensifier  

choose it has a different meaning. And it can be either an intensifier

or a mitigator. Let's move on. 

or a mitigator. Vamonos.

Just as intensifiers, mitigators can  be used with comparative adjectives. 

Just as intensifiers, mitigators can be used with comparative adjectives.

Let's look at a few examples. We can use ‘a bit’. 

Let's look at a few examples. We can use 'a bit'.

For example, ‘He's a bit faster than me’. When you say, “He's a bit faster than me,” it's 

For example, 'He's a bit faster than me'. When you say, “He's a bit faster than me,” it's

less powerful than “He's faster than me.” So ‘a bit’ it's mitigates it weakens ‘faster’. 

less powerful than “He's faster than me.” So 'a bit' it's mitigates it weakens 'faster'.

Same goes for ‘rather’. For example,  

Same goes for 'rather'. For example,

‘This dress is rather nicer than that dress’. It weakens the comparison the nicer. 

'This dress is rather nicer than that dress'. It weakens the comparison the nicer.

Third case we can say ‘a little bit’. For example, ‘There's a little bit more  

rain today than yesterday’. It's less powerful then. 

There's more rain. And finally we can say, ‘slightly’. 

Third case we can say 'a little bit'. For example, 'There's a little bit more rain today than yesterday'. It's less powerful then.

There's more rain. And finally we can say, 'slightly'.

For example, ‘My car is  slightly older than your car’. 

For example, 'My car is slightly older than your car'.

So it's just a little bit older than your car. It's weak because of this mitigator. 

So it's just a little bit older than your car. It's weak because of this mitigator.

Let's now move on to practice. I want things to be very clear so I
