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

Hello, everybody. Welcome to this English course. 

大家好。欢迎来到这个英语课程。

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

在今天的视频中，我将向您介绍名词。

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

因为在英语中，名词非常重要。它们是句子的基本元素。

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

所以如果你想说英语，你需要了解

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

不同种类的名词。我会尽力教

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

你。让我们开始吧！

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

好的，让我们从具体名词开始。现在在英语中，具体名词

are people places or things, including animals. 

是人的地方或事物，包括动物。

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

你可以看到，你可以闻到、尝到、听到或触摸到。

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

所以你基本上可以使用你的五种感官。让我给你举几个例子。

If we talk about people, 

如果我们谈论人，

you could say, a man or a teacher, 

你可以说，男人或老师，

or me, Fanny. Or Mr. Smith. 

或者我，范妮。或者史密斯先生。

If we talk about places, you could say, 

如果我们谈论地方，你可以说，

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

一所房子，一所学校。你可以说出像伦敦这样的城市。

Very nice city. Or a beach. 

很不错的城市。或者海滩。

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

如果你谈论事物，你可以说一只鞋，

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

你可以说一个记号笔，你可以谈论一只狗

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

或比萨饼之类的食物。这些是具体名词……好吧。

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

现在让我们继续讨论抽象名词。因此，抽象名词与具体名词不同，

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

是观念、概念、情感。你看不到一个想法。

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

你闻不到一个概念。你无法品尝到一种情绪。

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

或者听到它。或者触摸它。所以它们是名词。它们是存在的东西，但

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

你看不到它们，也尝不到它们。你不能使用你的五感。

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

举几个例子，我们可以谈论爱情、

or time, or religion, 

时间、宗教、

rules. These are all words that represent 

规则。这些都是代表

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

思想、概念的词……好吧，它们是英语中的抽象名词。

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

现在，让我们更详细地了解名词。 现在让我们看看 在英语中非常重要的

and proper nouns which are  very important in English. 

普通名词和专有名词之间的区别

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

。 所以普通名词和专有名词指的是人、地方、事物、

ideas. Let's see a few examples. 

想法。让我们看几个例子。

We could talk about people for example. A woman. 

例如，我们可以谈论人。一个女人。

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

这是一个普通名词。但是如果我们谈论一个特定的女人，

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

例如我，范妮。这成为带有大写“F”的专有名词。

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

因为，你应该知道，专有名词总是大写的。

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

你可以谈谈地方。一座城市。这是一个普通名词。

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

但是你可以命名一个特定的城市。让我们以一个

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

伟大的城市伦敦为例。带有大写字母“L”。

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

记住专有名词——总是大写。 例如 ，我们可以谈论一些事情

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

。一只动物。我们养条狗吧。一只狗。

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

这是一个普通名词。但是如果我们拿一只特定的狗，比如

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

史努比——大写“S”，那就是专有名词。

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

如果我们再次谈论事物，例如汽车，

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

那是一个普通名词。但如果我们命名品牌，

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

比如沃尔沃汽车的特定品牌，那是一个专有名词。它需要一个大写的“V”。

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

最后，我们可以说，一个团队——普通名词。但是，如果我们命名一个特定的球队，例如

the best football team, Manchester United, 

最好的足球队，曼联，

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

那么这是一个专有名词并且它是大写的。

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

现在请注意，“团队”是一个特殊的词，因为它

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

在英语中被称为集体名词，因为它指的是一群人。

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

所以集合名词可以用作单数名词或复数名词。

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

但是我们稍后会再次讨论这个问题。既然我们对英语中的名词了解了很多，

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

让我们练习在句子中查找名词。好的，首先，

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

在牛津大学的课堂上，我有很多朋友。

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

我最好的朋友是简。我很爱她。

Jan has a cute dog. Its name is Juju. 

简有一只可爱的狗。它的名字叫朱钰。

What are the nouns in these sentences? 

这些句子中的名词是什么？

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

如果我们拿第一句话来说，在牛津大学的课堂上，

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

我有很多朋友。我们有，班级和朋友。

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

这些是常用名词。我们还有一个专有名词，牛津大学。

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

我们知道它是专有名词，因为它是大写的。

The second sentence is, My best friend is Jen. 

第二句话是，我最好的朋友是仁。

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

现在在这句话中，名词是，朋友——普通名词。

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

还有一个词，Jen，也是一个名词，但是一个专有名词。

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

如您所见，它是大写的。然后，我对她充满了爱。

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

你能看到什么名词？当然是“爱”。

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

记住我们几分钟前谈到的抽象名词。

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

最后，简有一只可爱的狗。它的名字叫朱钰。我们能找到哪些名词？

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

我们可以再次看到“Jen”——专有名词。 '狗' - 普通名词。

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

而且还有“名字”和“Juju”。 “名字”是一个普通名词。

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

'juju'是专有名词。是大写的。

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

你可能知道，我没有提到“我”、“她”或“它”。

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

它们也是名词，但它们是代词，

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

在英语中被视为不同的类别。我们将在另一个视频中讨论它们。

我希望你现在对英语中的名词有了更好的理解。

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

大家好！欢迎来到这个关于名词的英语课程。

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

在今天的视频中，我们将讨论单数和复数名词。

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

当您说英语时，了解单数名词 和复数名词 之间的区别非常重要

and a plural noun. Ok? 

。 好的？

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

因此，我将向您解释不同的规则。我们将一起练习。

Let’s get started. 

让我们开始吧。

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

好的，伙计们，您首先需要知道的是单数名词意味着一个。

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

因此，例如，我可以说“猫”。 'a cat'

‘one cat’ ‘school’ 

'one cat' 'school'

‘a school’ ‘one school’ 

'a school' 'one school'

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

'team' 现在别忘了，'team' 是一个集合名词。

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

这是一群人，但仍然是一个单数名词。

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

我们谈论“一个团队”或“一个团队”。 “女士”

‘monkey’ ‘tomato’ 

“猴子”“番茄”

‘a tomato’ ‘one tomato’ 

“一个番茄”“一个番茄”

Or ‘piano’. Now, if we talk  

或“钢琴”。现在，如果我们谈论

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

复数名词，它的意思不止一个。例如，两个、三个、四个或多个。

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

如果我们再说一遍，“猫”就变成了“猫”。

‘two cats’ ‘three cats’ 

“两只猫”“三只猫”

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

“许多猫”“学校”变成“学校”。

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

“团队”变成了“团队”。好的，所以你只需添加一个's'。

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

现在“女士”变成了“女士”。 “猴子”变成了“猴子”。

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

但是，两个不同的规则。如您所见，“女士”是辅音+“y”。

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

现在当你有辅音+'y'时，在一个英语单词中，复数将是'ies'。

‘lady’ ‘ladies’ 

'lady' 'ladies'

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

但是当你有元音 + 'y' 像 'monkey' 时，它就变成了 'monkeys'。

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

您只需添加一个's'。好的，“猴子”变成了“猴子”。

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

“西红柿”变成了“西红柿”。 'piano' 'pianos'

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

同样，两个不同的规则。现在“西红柿”变成了“西红柿”。

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

您添加“es”。大多数单词以'o'结尾，

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

所以辅音+'o'，你会添加'es'。但有时，您只会添加“s”。

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

像“钢琴”，“钢琴”。对此没有特别的规则。

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

您只需要知道仅以“s”结尾的单词。

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

好的，现在让我们继续一些发音。所以，说到发音，我们有

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

三种不同的声音。第一个声音是/s/。

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

第二个声音是/z/。第三个声音是/Iz/。

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

所以让我们一起复习一些单词，并且非常小心，你听到了什么声音？

‘cats’ ‘cats’ 

'猫' '猫'

What can you hear? /s/ 

你能听到什么？ /s/

Can you repeat after me. ‘cats’

Of course, /z/. Repeat after me. 

当然，/z/。跟着我重复。

‘schools’ ‘schools’

The third words is ‘teams’. 

第三个词是'teams'。

/z/ 再次。跟着我重复。

‘monkeys’. ‘monkeys’ 

'猴子'。 '猴子'

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

然后我们有'西红柿'。同样，它是 /z/ 声音。

‘tomatoes’ ‘tomatoes’ 

'tomatoes' 'tomatoes'

And finally, ‘pianos’. /z/ 

最后是'pianos'。 /z/

‘pianos’ ‘pianos’ 

'pianos' 'pianos'

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

现在让我们继续讨论其他规则。好的，现在让我们谈谈

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

以“s”、“sh”、“x”、“ch”或“z”结尾的名词。现在要制作这些名词的复数形式，

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

您将添加“es”。声音将是/Iz/。

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

让我们一起回顾一些单词。 “公共汽车”变成了“公共汽车”。

Let’s move on. Ok, guys. 

让我们继续。好，朋友们。

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

继续讨论以“f”或“fe”结尾的名词。例如，“屋顶”变成“屋顶”。

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

'safe' 'safes' 所以你只需添加一个's'。

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

然后我们有“叶子”变成“叶子”。等一下。发生了什么？

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

嗯，是的，有时在英语中，以“f”结尾的单词会变成以“ves”结尾的复数单词。

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

这不是规则。但是有些单词以'ves'结尾，

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

恐怕你只需要学习它们。另一个词，“妻子”。

And again, ‘ves’. ‘wives’ 

再一次，'ves'。 'wives'

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

'shelf' 'shelves' 又是这个'ves' 结尾。

Now let’s focus on pronunciation. ‘roofs’ 

现在让我们专注于发音。 'roofs'

So it’s an /s/ sound. ‘roofs’ 

所以这是 /s/ 的声音。 '屋顶'

‘roofs’ Good job. 

'屋顶' 干得好。

‘safes’ ‘safes’

Have you heard the /s/ sound? ‘safes’

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

现在让我们继续练习吧。那么同学们，我们现在一起练习吧。

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

我要给你一个单数名词，我希望你试着找出

of this singular noun. Ok? 

这个单数名词的复数形式。好的？

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

试一试吧。第一个字是“宝贝”。

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

'baby' 别忘了，它以辅音 + 'y' 结尾。

而且，“我看到了两只羊。”完全一样的词。

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

“我有一些牛仔裤。”或者，“我有剪刀。”

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

但是你不能说，“我有一条牛仔裤。”在英语中是不正确的。

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

让我们稍微研究一下发音。请跟我重复一遍。

‘jeans’ ‘jeans’ ‘pants’ ‘pants’

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

现在，简单介绍一下源自拉丁语和希腊语的英语名词。

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

它们的复数形式很奇怪。这有点复杂，所以我们

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

不会详细介绍。不要太担心他们。

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

但我认为你应该知道的只是几句话。首先，我们有以'a'结尾的单词。

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

它们的复数形式将以“ae”结尾。例如，

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

'antenna' 变为 'antennae' 'alumna' 'alumnae'

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

以 'us' 结尾的单词，us，将以 'i' 结尾。 'octopus' 'octopi'

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

'cactus' 'cacti' 以 'is' 结尾的单词将以 'es' 结尾。

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

'是'变成'es'。例如，“分析”“分析”

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

“诊断”“诊断”最后，以“on”结尾的单词以“a”结尾。

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

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

大家好，欢迎回到这个关于名词的英语课程。

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

在今天的视频中，我将向您介绍复合名词。

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

它们在英语中很常见，并且有数千个。

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

你需要了解他们。让我们开始吧。

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

复合名词由两个不同的词组成。所以你把两个词放在一起，

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

创造一个新名词。它们通常很容易理解。

For example, ‘full moon’. 

例如，“满月”。

‘Full’ is obviously the  adjective describing the moon. 

“满”显然是描述月亮的形容词。

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

让我们看一下其他示例，以及如何创建复合名词。

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

有时，复合名词是单个名词。比如“牙膏”。

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

有时，它们是两个或多个连字符的单词。比如“婆婆”。

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

有时，它们是两个独立的词，例如“冰淇淋”。

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

现在，你必须小心。有时，你有一个简单的

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

形容词加上一个名词，比如“温室”。但是你也有一个复合名词，它是

a different meaning. ‘A greenhouse’. 

不同的意思。 '温室'。

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

现在，“温室”是绿色的房子。但是复合名词“温室”

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

是种植植物的地方。完全不同的意思。

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

好的，所以你必须小心。压力可以提供帮助。

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

通常重音在复合名词的第一个音节上。

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

好的，我希望你们能得到它。现在让我们仔细看看复合名词。

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

好的，现在让我们来看看构成复合名词的词性。

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

我们可以有一个名词和另一个名词。比如，“卧室”。

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

我们也可以有名词和动词。比如“理发”。

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

一个名词和一个介词。比如“路人”。

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

一个动词和一个名词。比如“洗衣机”。

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

一个动词和一个介词。比如，“缺点”。

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

一个介词和一个名词。比如“地下”。

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

一个形容词和一个版本。比如“干洗”。

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

一个形容词和一个名词。比如，“软件”。

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

或介词和动词。比如，“输入”。

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

正如你所看到的，有很多方法可以用不同的词创建复合名词。

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

现在让我们回到我们的发音示例。

Please repeat after me. Bedroom 

请跟着我重复。卧室

Bedroom Haircut 

卧室 理发

Haircut Passer-by 

理发 路人

Passer-by Washing machine 

路人 洗衣机

Washing machine Drawback 

洗衣机 缺点

Drawback Underground 

缺点 地下

Underground Dry-cleaning 

地下 干洗

Dry-cleaning Software 

干洗软件

Software Input 

软件 输入

Input

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

干得好伙计们。现在让我们继续讨论复数复合名词。

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

因此，当我们想使复合名词复数时，需要遵循一些规则。

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

如果您只有一个单词，您只需添加一个“s”。但是，如果您有单独的单词，

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

无论是否连字符，您都会使最重要的单词复数。

Let’s take a look at examples. 

让我们看一下例子。

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

“报纸”将只是“报纸”。所以我有男人报纸。

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

游泳池。现在，最重要的词是什么？

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

嗯，它是“游泳池”。所以我们会说，'有两个游泳池'。

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

你不能说，'有两个游泳池。没有's'在游泳。

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

姐夫最重要的词是什么？

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

当然，它是“兄弟”。所以你会说，“我有两个姐夫”。

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

最后是“女医生”。现在，最重要的词是什么？

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

实际上，这两个词都很重要。所以我们都将它们设为复数。

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

请记住，“女人”的复数形式是“女人”。所以我们会说，“四名女医生

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

在医院工作”。让我们来研究发音。

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

请你跟我重复一遍好吗？我有男人报纸。

I have man newspapers. 

我有男人报纸。

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

有两个游泳池。有两个游泳池。

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

我有两个姐夫。我有两个姐夫。

And finally, Four women doctors work at the hospital. 

最后，四名女医生在医院工作。

Four women doctors work at the hospital. 

四名女医生在医院工作。

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

干得好伙计们。现在让我们继续练习。

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

为了练习，我有几句话。我想让你告诉我我们是否使用

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

复合名词。让我们来看看。

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

我想喝点冷水。 “冷水”是复合名词吗？

What do you think? It isn’t. 

你怎么看？它不是。

‘Cold’ is a simply adjective describing the water. 

“冷”是描述水的简单形容词。

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

她有一个新的男朋友。男朋友是复合名词吗

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

好吧，在这种情况下不是。他是你的朋友，他是个男孩。

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

但是复合名词“男朋友”，一言以蔽之，存在并具有不同的含义。

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

那么，你的男朋友不仅仅是朋友。他就是和你有关系的那个男孩。

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

其他例子。蓝鸟在树上唱歌。

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

“蓝鸟”是复合名词吗？在这种情况下不是。

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

这是一只简单的鸟，它是蓝色的。但是，复合名词“蓝鸟”，

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

一言以蔽之，是存在的。这是一种特殊的鸟。

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

我们在公共汽车站见面吧。 'bus stop'是复合名词吗？

What do you think? It is. 

你怎么看？这是。

I have two alarms clock. 

我有两个闹钟。

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

“闹钟”呢？好吧，它是一个复合名词，

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

但是有一个很大的错误。你能看见它吗？

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

当然是复数形式。复数形式不是“闹钟”。

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

但是，“闹钟”。因为最重要的词是“时钟”。

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

好的，伙计们，让我们继续。谢谢收看。

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

我希望您更好地理解复合名词以及如何创建它们。

There are so many compound  nouns in the English language,  

英语中有很多复合名词，

but they are usually very easy to understand. 

但它们通常很容易理解。

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

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

大家好。欢迎回到这个关于名词的英语课程。

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

在这个视频中，我将告诉你关于可数名词和不可数名词。

It’s very important to know the  difference between countable  

了解 英语中可数名词和不可数名词

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

的区别非常重要 。 学生经常感到困惑。

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

所以请仔细听我说。让我们开始吧。

Countable nouns are nouns that you can count. 

可数名词是可以数的名词。

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

不可数名词是不能数的名词。他们通常是一个类型或一个组。

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

而且它们总是单数。让我们看几个例子。

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

可数名词——你可以说，“a dog”。你可以说“一只狗”、“

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

两只狗”、“三只狗”等等。 “男人。”

You can say, “a man.” “Two men.” 

你可以说，“一个男人”。 “两名男子。” “主意。”你可以说，“一个想法”，“两个想法”，等等。

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

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

“电脑。”同样，您可以说“一台计算机，两台计算机”。

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

还有，“房子”。嗯，你可以说，“一栋房子，两栋房子，

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

三栋房子，”等等。这些是可数名词。

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

你可以数一数。但是如果我们看不可数名词。

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

当你说“水”时。你不能说，“一水，两水”。

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

这没有任何意义。你不能数水。

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

空气也是如此。你不能说，“一个空气，两个空气”。

It’s just ‘air’. It’s uncountable. 

这只是“空气”。是不可数的。

‘traffic’ ‘English’ 

'traffic' 'English'

‘Equipment’ These are all uncountable nouns. 

'Equipment' 这些都是不可数名词。

You cannot count them And they’re always singular. 

你不能数他们而且他们总是单数。

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

好的，伙计们。现在，让我们仔细看看

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

可数名词和不可数名词的规则。那么我们如何知道一个词

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

是可数还是不可数呢？那么有一些技巧可以提供帮助。

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

我们来看看这些话。有些词组通常是不可数的。

And this can help you. For example, liquids. 

这可以帮助你。例如，液体。

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

水、果汁、牛奶、啤酒。这些话都是数不清的。

Powders. Sugar, flour, salt, rice. 

粉末。糖、面粉、盐、大米。

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

也是不可数的词。材料。例如木材、塑料、金属或纸张。

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

食物也一样。比如水果、肉类、奶酪和面包。

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

最后，抽象的想法。像时间、信息、爱和美丽。

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

另一个技巧是，大多数时候，你可以测量不可数名词。

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

让我们看一些例子。例如，如果我们服用液体。

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

我有两升牛奶。现在，你不能数牛奶。

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

但是你可以测量牛奶。你可以数升。

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

所以你可以说，“我有两升牛奶。”你可以说，“我有一杯水。”

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

或者“我有几杯水。” “一杯咖啡。”

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

“几瓶水。”所以你可以测量这个不可数名词。

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

粉也一样。 “我有一公斤糖。”

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

“两公斤糖。”对于材料和食物，

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

我们经常使用“一块”这个词。例如，“我吃了两块蛋糕。”

Or bread. Or pizza. 

或者面包。或者披萨。

Or meat. Or cheese. 

还是肉。或者奶酪。

“I need pieces of paper.” Wood. 

“我需要几张纸。”木头。

Plastic. Metal. 

塑料。金属。

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

或者“我有一些水。” 'Some' 是一篇总是

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

与不可数名词一起使用的冠词。好的，伙计们，我希望你能理解。

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

让我们继续前进。有些词既可以是可数

and uncountable nouns. Now not all of them. 

名词，也可以是不可数名词。现在不是全部。

But some of them. Let’s take a look. 

但其中一些。让我们来看看。

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

“我想吃点蛋糕。” “我想要两块蛋糕。”

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

所以在这两句话中，“cake”显然是不可数名词。

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

但如果我说，“我想吃两个蛋糕。”突然，它变成了可数名词。

Why? Because in the first two sentences,  

为什么？因为在前两句话中，

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

我们谈论的是小菜一碟。在最后一句话中，

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

我们正在考虑整个蛋糕。所以它变成了可数的。

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

另一个例子。 “我想吃点鸡肉。”

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

“我想吃一块鸡肉。”两个句子，不可数名词，'鸡'。

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

但最后一句话，“我看到了两只鸡。”嗯，'chicken'，在这种情况下，是一个可数名词。

Why? Because  

为什么？因为

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

在前两句话中，“鸡”是食物。但在最后一句中，“鸡”是一种动物。

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

所以动物是可数名词。 “鸡”作为食物是不可数的。

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

希望你能明白。现在让我们继续看例句。

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

现在让我们复习几个例句，这样你就可以练习

using countable and uncountable nouns. Please repeat after me. 

使用可数和不可数名词。请跟着我重复。

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

并注意使用正确的发音。让我们开始吧。

candles on six cakes.” Please repeat after me.

形容词为我们提供了很多关于名词的信息。

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

举个例子，我们用一个普通名词“杯子”。看看英语有多少种方法

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

可以用不同种类的形容词来描述杯子。

Let’s see. We can say,  

让我们来看看。我们可以说，

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

“这是一个很棒的杯子。”只是发表你的意见。

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

“好大一个杯子。”说到杯子的大小。

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

如果你想谈论杯子的形状，你可以说，

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

“它是一个圆形杯子。” “这是一个旧杯子。”

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

如果要谈年龄。或者如果你想说它是什么颜色，

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

“它是一个白色的杯子”。或谈论温度，

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

“这是一个冷杯子。” “杯子坏了。”如果你进行观察。

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

“这是韩国杯。”谈论起源。或者你可以提及材料。

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

“这是一个塑料杯。”或者“这是一个咖啡杯。”

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

谈论杯子的目的。现在，正如您所知，“咖啡”是一个名词。

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

但在这种情况下，它可以用作形容词。所有这些形容词都是名词前的地方。

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

让我们更多地了解形容词。形容词可以放在名词之前。

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

它被称为属性位置。或者在名词之后。

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

这称为谓语位置。它也很常见。

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

动词后面的形容词描述了这个动词的主语。

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

通常是名词或代词。因此，如果我们采用“这个女孩很好”这句话。

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

形容词“nice”指的是句子的主语“the girl”。

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

但它放在动词“to be”之后。 “我的学生很高兴。”

Same thing. The adjective, ‘happy’, describes  

一样。形容词“快乐”描述

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

了句子“我的学生”的主题。但它放在动词之后。

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

我希望你们能理解。现在让我们继续练习吧。

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

现在让我们练习在几句话中找到形容词。

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

“我是个高个子女人。”你能看出这句话中的形容词吗？

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

我希望你可以。形容词是“高”。

It gives you the height of the woman. 

它给了你女人的身高。

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

“我是英国女人。”现在形容词在哪里？

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

形容词是“英国人”。告诉你这个女人的来历。

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

“我有一头金发。”现在这句话中的形容词是什么？

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

当然，伙计们，它是“金发女郎”。它给你头发的颜色。

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

“我的眼睛是蓝色的。”现在这是一个不同的句子。

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

你能认出形容词吗？形容词是“蓝色”。

What’s blue? My eyes. 

什么是蓝色？我的眼睛。

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

“我的眼睛”是句子的主语，形容词是“蓝色”。

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

“我很好。”再一次，你能找出形容词吗？

It’s ‘nice’. Okay? 

这真好'。好的？

And finally, “The weather is cold.” 

最后，“天气很冷。”

What’s the adjective? 

形容词是什么？

Where is it? Can you see it? 

它在哪里？你能看见它吗？

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

形容词是“冷”。什么冷？

The weather. ‘The weather’ is the  

天气。 “天气”是

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

主语，形容词是“冷”。现在在前三个句子中，

it’s the attribute position. Remember? 

它是属性位置。记住？

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

形容词出现在名词之前。在最后三句话中，它是

the predicative position. Remember? 

谓语位置。记住？

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

形容词出现在名词之后。在这种情况下，在动词“成为”之后。

I hope you understand this. 

我希望你明白这一点。

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. 

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. 

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. Let's have a look. 

very common in English. Let's have a look.

really This video is really interesting. 

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.让我们继续前进。

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
