Part 1 - Prefixes
In our last lesson, you learned two new prefixes: “anti” and “co.” “Anti-” at the beginning of a word means “against.” (antidote) “Co-” at the beginning of a word means “together.” (coexist)

Part 2 - Grammar:Parts of Speech
Nouns A noun is a word used to
name a person, animal, place, thing, or abstract idea. In our diagrammed sentences, the subjects (the first part in our diagram) are considered nouns because each refers to a person or thing.
![Page 10: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

The Proper Noun
Since the proper noun represents the name of a specific person, place, or thing, always write a proper noun with a capital letter. The names of days of the week, months, historical documents, institutions, organizations and religions are all proper nouns and must be capitalized.
![Page 12: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Examples of Proper Nouns
Days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. Languages: Spanish, English, Malay, French, etc.Names of Countries and Continents: United States, France, Malaysia, Africa, Asia
![Page 13: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Proper Nouns

![Page 14: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Common Nouns
Let’s move on to common nouns. A common noun is a noun that refers to a person, place, animal, thing or idea in a general sense (man, building or book). In this case, we are not naming a specific man, building or book.
![Page 15: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Common Nouns
A common noun is the opposite of a proper noun. We do not capitalize common nouns unless they begin a sentence.
Non-specific persons: man, child, doctor, boy, etc.
Non-specific animals: cat, dog, rabbit, hamster, squirrel, etc.
![Page 16: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other Common Nouns
Non-specific places: parks, school, city, church, home, etc.Non-specific things: chair, table, notebook, door, car, etc.
Only when we give a specific name to the common noun, do we capitalize it.
![Page 17: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
For Example:
Park is a common noun, but when we name a specific park, such as Yellowstone National Park, it is a proper noun and must be capitalized.
Car is a common noun, but Mercedes Benz, is a proper noun, and we must capitalize it.
![Page 18: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Concrete Nouns
A concrete noun is a noun which names anything (or anyone) that can be perceived through your five senses: touch, sight, taste, hearing, or smell. You can “see” a book, therefore, it is a concrete noun.
![Page 19: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Concrete Nouns
Examples of concrete nouns: plate, napkin, glass, paper, book, apple, ice cream, door, statue, window, sock, foot, arm, nose, desk.
These are concrete nouns because they are things that you can see or touch.
![Page 20: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Abstract Nouns
Abstract nouns are the opposite of concrete nouns. You cannot feel, taste, touch, smell or see abstract nouns. They are ideas. For instance, you cannot see or touch friendship, but friendship is a noun. Therefore, it is an abstract noun.
![Page 21: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Common Abstract Nouns
At the end of this lesson, review the Common Abstract Nouns list. We will refer to them in the future.
![Page 22: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Plural Nouns
Plural nouns indicate more than one. For the most part, we add an “s” to a noun to make it plural.
For some nouns, the endings of the words must be changed in order to show it as plural or more than one.
![Page 23: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Plural Nouns
The plural form of a noun indicates simply that there are more than one of the person or thing in question. For most nouns, the plural form includes the letter "s" at the end of the word:
DogsTrees
Turtles
![Page 24: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Plural Nouns ending in s, z, ch, sh, and x
Nouns with these letters at the end require an "es" to show more than one. This added syllable makes pronunciation easier.
beach = beachesFox = foxes
Wish = wishes
![Page 25: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Plural Nouns Ending in “y”
To form the plural of nouns ending in “y,” drop the “y” and add "ies.“ This is true in most cases, but there are exceptions.
Family = familiesStory = storiesBaby = babies
![Page 26: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Plural Nouns Ending in “o”
Some nouns ending in “o” are made plural by adding an "s," while others require an "es“ at the end. These words must be memorized because there is no simple rule to explain the differences.
![Page 27: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Plural Nouns Ending in “o”
Add “s” or “es” after a noun that ends in “o” to make it plural.
echo = echoes hero = heroespotato = potatoes veto = vetoes auto = autos memo = memos
![Page 28: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Plural Noun Quiz
Let’s see how much you have learned about making nouns plural. At the end of this lesson, complete the Plural Nouns Quiz. You must have at least 36 correct answers to show proficiency.
![Page 29: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Possessive Nouns
Let’s move on to possessive nouns. The possessive noun signifies that the noun owns something:
A musician's talentA woman's ambition
![Page 30: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Apostrophe “S”
Possessive nouns call for a properly placed punctuation mark called the apostrophe (‘). The placement of an apostrophe (‘) is different for singular and plural nouns.
![Page 31: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Singular Possessive Nouns
Singular possessive nouns are nouns that show ownership by one person, place or thing. The apostrophe “s” (‘s) after a proper noun or a common noun indicates the possessive form.
Always place the apostrophe before the “s” (‘s) after a singular noun to make it show ownership.
![Page 32: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Apostrophe “S”
Examples of how the apostrophe “s” (‘s) shows ownership in the singular form:
The truck’s tires The man’s boots
The girl’s dress The baby’s cryThe goose’s egg The dog’s bone
![Page 33: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
‘S (apostrophe before the “s”)
When you see the (‘S) at the end of a word, you will recognize that this mark means ownership and that only one person, place or thing owns the thing that comes after the (‘S).
![Page 34: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Practice
Put an (‘s) (apostrophe “s”) after the appropriate noun to make it show ownership.
The boy coatThe lady hatThe fish tailThe boat anchor
![Page 35: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Answers
Put the ‘S after a word to make it show ownership.
The boy’s coatThe lady’s hatThe fish’s tailThe boat’s anchor
![Page 36: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Plural Possessives
When more than one person, place or thing owns something, we switch the (‘S) (apostrophe “s”) to (S’) (“s” apostrophe).
When more than one lady owns hats, for instance, we show the plural possessive form as “the ladies’ hats.”
![Page 37: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Plural Possessives
Did you notice that we changed lady (one) to ladies (more than one) by dropping the “y” and adding ies? After we have changed the noun to more than one, we place the apostrophe after the “S.” (S’)
![Page 38: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Practice
Put an S’ ( “s” apostrophe) after each word that shows ownership by more than one person, place or thing.
The boy coatThe lady hatThe fish tailThe boat anchor
![Page 39: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Answers
Notice that the words after the S’ (“S” apostrophe) also show more than one.
The boys’ coatsThe ladies’ hatsThe fishes’ tailsThe boats’ anchors
![Page 40: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Did You Notice?
When we changed boy to boys’ to make it plural possessive, the item after boys’ also became plural or more than one:
the boys’ coats
![Page 41: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Exceptions
There are some plural nouns that do not take the (S') (“s” apostrophe) to show ownership. To make some nouns plural you must change the spelling. When the spelling of a noun changes to make it plural, then add an ('S) (apostrophe “s”) as with the singular possessive noun.
![Page 42: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Examples
The men’s bootsThe geese’s eggs
![Page 43: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
“’S” Example
The geese’s eggs
Notice the word, “geese.” In the singular form it was spelled goose. Since we changed the spelling to make it more than one, we add an (’S) apostrophe “s.”
![Page 44: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Another Exception
The men’s bootsNotice that we changed the
spelling from man to men to make it plural.
In this case we added the (’S).
(apostrophe “S”) to show that more than one man owned more than one pair of boots.
![Page 45: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Review: Noun Types
Today we learned how to make singular nouns plural and possessive. We also learned the difference between Proper Nouns and Common Nouns.
![Page 46: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Review: Noun Types
We learned the difference between Concrete Nouns and Abstract Nouns.
Finally, we learned to add the apostrophe “s” (‘S) to make singular nouns possessive, and we learned to add “s” apostrophe (S’) to make plural nouns possessive.
![Page 47: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Noun Test
At the end of this lesson, take the noun test to show your proficiency. You must answer at least seven (7) sections (three questions each section) correctly in order to show proficiency in noun usage and understanding.

Sentence Building
Take out your diagrammed sentences from our last lesson.
Your were asked to give more information about the subject and object by adding modifiers to the diagram.
![Page 51: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Sentence Building
In our diagrammed sentences, the subject and the object are considered common nouns because, although they name a person or thing, they do not name a specific person, place or thing.
![Page 52: English Language Arts Level 7 #2. Today’s Objectives Prefixes Parts of Speech – The Noun Sentence Building Reading Assignment Idiom of the Day.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e2b5503460f94b19813/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Adding Modifiers
Words that modify (describe) both proper and common nouns are called adjectives.
