00:00.090 --> 00:09.280
Now let's practice a bit as earlier mentioned a common noun is a noun showing a class of objects or

00:09.550 --> 00:13.660
a concept as opposed to a particular individual.

00:13.660 --> 00:16.030
Now I want you to read the sentence.

00:16.030 --> 00:21.970
Fruit and vegetables are good for you and underline these nouns

00:26.270 --> 00:31.840
fruits vegetables are the nouns.

00:31.990 --> 00:41.620
Now again common nouns are general names they are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence or are

00:41.620 --> 00:44.390
part of a title.

00:44.530 --> 00:47.270
I want you to read this sentence.

00:47.320 --> 00:52.960
Books can help you learn something and underline these nouns

00:57.460 --> 01:00.050
Books great.

01:01.590 --> 01:09.330
Now again most of the time we add s to singular nouns to show more than one

01:12.840 --> 01:24.990
what is the plural form of the word map maps the word cake kicks

01:27.630 --> 01:27.920
in.

01:28.000 --> 01:41.890
If the singular forum ends in s s s s at C Ed x z or O add e s to make a plural more than one

01:44.630 --> 01:45.860
the word sandwich

01:50.390 --> 01:53.530
sandwiches cross

01:55.740 --> 01:59.360
crisis socks

02:01.650 --> 02:04.280
foxes tomato

02:07.060 --> 02:07.900
tomatoes

02:12.730 --> 02:16.490
and if the singular noun ends in Y.

02:16.510 --> 02:26.830
Again change y into ie and add e s to make a plural more than one tribe with the word here.

02:26.840 --> 02:27.280
Lily

02:30.230 --> 02:43.580
lilies and if the singular noun ends an f or f e f is often changed into v e before adding S to make

02:43.580 --> 02:48.320
a plural trying with the word wise

02:51.850 --> 02:59.210
wives and calls calls gape.

02:59.220 --> 03:06.690
So some nouns do not follow any of the rules explained earlier they are irregular.

03:06.690 --> 03:17.940
For example a mouse is a small rodent tried to make a plural in this following sentence

03:24.870 --> 03:28.620
mice can find their way into your house.
