English Grammar Course | Introduction to Nouns #1

Hello, everybody.

大家好。

Welcome to this English course.

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.

因为在英语中，名词非常重要。

They are the basic element of a sentence.

它们是句子的基本元素。

So if you want to speak English,

所以如果你想说英语，

you need to know about the different kinds of nouns.

你需要了解不同种类的名词。

And I'm going to try and teach you as well as I can.

我会尽力教你。

Let's get started!

让我们开始吧！

Ok, so let's start with concrete nouns.

好的，让我们从具体名词开始。

Now in English, concrete nouns are people places or things,

现在在英语中，具体名词是人、地方或事物，

including animals.

包括动物。

That you can see, that you can smell,

你可以看到，你可以闻到，

or taste, or hear, or touch.

或尝到，或听到，或触摸到。

So you can basically use your five senses.

所以你基本上可以使用你的五种感官。

Let me give you a few examples.

让我举几个例子。

If we talk about people,

如果我们谈论人，

you could say, a man

你可以说，一个男人

or a teacher,

或一个老师，

or me, Fanny.

或者我，范妮。

Or Mr. Smith.

或者史密斯先生。

If we talk about places,

如果我们谈论地方，

you could say,

你可以说，

a house, a school.

房子，学校。

You could name a city like London.

你可以说出像伦敦这样的城市。

Very nice city.

非常好的城市。

Or a beach.

或者海滩。

And if you talk about things,

如果你谈论事物，

you could say a shoe,

你可以说一只鞋子，

you could say a marker,

you could talk about a dog

or food like a pizza.

或像披萨这样的食物。

These are concrete nouns....ok.

这些是具体名词……好吧。

Now let's move on to abstract nouns.

现在让我们继续讨论抽象名词。

So abstract nouns, unlike concrete nouns,

因此，抽象名词与具体名词不同，

are ideas, concepts, emotions.

是想法、概念、情感。

And you can't see an idea.

而且你看不到任何想法。

You can't smell a concept.

你无法闻到一个概念。

You can't taste an emotion.

你无法品尝到一种情感。

Or hear it. Or touch it.

或者听到它。或者触摸它。

So they are nouns. They are things that exist, but

所以它们是名词。它们是存在的东西，但

you cannot see them, or taste them.

你看不到它们，也尝不到它们。

You can't use your five sense.

你无法使用你的五种感觉。

To give you a few examples,

举几个例子，

we could talk about love,

我们可以谈论爱情、

or time,

时间、

or religion,

宗教、

rules.

规则。

These are all words that represent ideas, concepts... okay

这些都是代表想法、概念的单词……好吧，

They're abstract nouns in English.

它们是英语中的抽象名词。

Now, let's get into more detail about nouns.

现在，让我们更详细地了解名词。

Let's now see the difference between common nouns

现在让我们看看普通名词和专有名词之间的区别

and proper nouns which are very important in English.

，这在英语中非常重要。

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

所以普通名词和专有名词指的是人、地方、事物、想法。

Let's see a few examples.

让我们看几个例子。

We could talk about people for example.

例如，我们可以谈论人。

A woman.

一个女人。

That's a common noun.

那是一个普通名词。

But if we talk about a specific woman,

但如果我们谈论一个特定的女人，

for example, me, Fanny.

例如我，范妮。

That becomes a proper noun with a capital 'F'.

这成为一个大写“F”的专有名词。

because, and you should know this,

因为，你应该知道这一点，

proper nouns are always capitalized.

专有名词总是大写。

You could talk about places.

你可以谈论一些地方。

A city. That's a common noun.

一座城市。那是一个普通名词。

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

但随后你可以命名一个特定的城市。 当然 ，让我们以一个

great city, London, of course.

伟大的城市为例，伦敦。

With a capital 'L'.

带大写“L”。

Remember proper nouns - always capitalized.

记住专有名词 - 始终大写。

We can talk about things for example. An animal.

例如，我们可以谈论一些事情。一只动物。

Let's take a dog. A dog.

我们养一只狗吧。一只狗。

That's a common noun.

那是一个普通名词。

But if we take a specific dog, like Snoopy - capital 'S',

但如果我们选择一只特定的狗，比如史努比（Snoopy）——大写的“S”，

that's the proper noun.

那就是专有名词。

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

如果我们再谈论事物，例如汽车，

that's a common noun.

那是一个普通名词。

But if we name the brand, the specific brand of the car like Volvo,

但如果我们命名品牌，比如沃尔沃这样的汽车的特定品牌，

that's a proper noun. And it takes a capital 'V'.

那就是一个专有名词。它需要大写“V”。

And finally, and we can say, a team - common noun.

最后，我们可以说，一个团队——普通名词。

But if we name a specific team, for example,

但如果我们命名一支特定的球队，例如，

the best football team, Manchester United,

最好的足球队曼联，

then that's a proper noun

那么它就是一个专有名词

and it's capitalized.

，并且要大写。

Now mind you,

现在请注意，

'team', is a special word because it's called

“团队”是一个特殊的词，因为它在英语中被称为

a collective noun in English

集体名词，

because it refers to a group of people.

因为它指的是一群人。

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

因此集体名词可以用作单数名词或复数名词。

But we will talk about this again later.

但我们稍后会再讨论这个问题。

So now that we know a lot about nouns in English,

现在我们对英语名词有了很多了解，

Let's practice finding nouns in a sentence.
