Our video demonstrates how to properly employ adverbs, adjectives, pronouns (types), articles, common and proper nouns. Firstly, adverbs are words that explain the action of a verb. As an example, “consider how lightly the snow dropped on the earth.” This example works because there is one word describing another. Adjectives are words that describe a noun’s attributes or states of being. “She was beautiful,” for example, would work since beautiful describes a noun’s characteristic (the beauty of the person). Pronouns are words that allude to the person being discussed. “She ran a lap,” for example, is an example of a pronoun. This is an example since we are referring to someone using their correct pronouns. Articles are words that indicate whether a noun is specific or unspecific. An example of an article might be “she has a broken umbrella.” This example works because it specifies that the girl’s umbrella is broken. Another approach to utilize this example is to state. “She has an umbrella.” This also works because it does not mention that the umbrella is damaged. In a class or group, a common noun is the name of a person, place, or object. Common nouns, unlike proper nouns, are not capitalized. “My favourite newspaper is…” rather than “my favourite Newspaper is…” is an example of a common noun. A proper noun is the semi-opposite of a common noun. A proper noun is the capitalized name of a person, place, or thing. “I ordered the laptop from Amazon,” for example, is a proper noun. This is a common case because Amazon is a capitalized organization’s name.
