3 Method to Identify Noun in a Sentence | How to Identify Noun | Basic English Grammar | By Rani Mam

Brief Summary

This video by English With Rani Mam focuses on identifying nouns within sentences, emphasizing practical techniques for recognition rather than in-depth definitions. It covers identifying nouns by asking "what," "whom," or "where," looking for articles (a, an, the) before words, and recognizing nouns that follow prepositions. The video also explains the functions of nouns as subjects, objects, subject complements, and object complements, providing examples to differentiate between them.

  • Nouns are identified by answering "what," "whom," or "where."
  • Articles (a, an, the) often precede nouns.
  • Nouns frequently follow prepositions.
  • Nouns function as subjects, objects, subject complements, and object complements.

What are Nouns?

Nouns are naming words for everything you can name, such as screens, cameras, students, and teachers. Pronouns replace nouns to avoid repetition. Nouns answer the questions "who," "whom," or "what" in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "Ram helped Shyam," Ram answers "who helped," and Shyam answers "whom did Ram help."

Identifying Nouns

To identify a noun, ask "what," "whom," or "where." For instance, in "Shakespeare was a dramatist," asking "what was Shakespeare" yields "dramatist," which is a noun. Articles (a, an, the) are typically placed before nouns. For example, in "The judge ordered the prisoner's chains removed," "judge," "prisoner," and "chains" are nouns, with "the" indicating their presence.

More Ways to Identify Nouns

Characteristics of nouns can be identified by asking questions. Articles are placed before nouns, and adjectives describe nouns. Prepositions are often followed by nouns. For example, in "Children found an egg in the nest," "egg" and "nest" are nouns, with "an" and "the" as articles. The article is placed for the noun, not the adjective.

Nouns and Prepositions

Prepositions precede nouns. For example, "fan on the desk" includes the preposition "on" followed by the noun "desk." While adverbs can also answer "where," prepositions can indicate place as well. Possessive adjectives are followed by nouns.

Functions of Nouns: Subject and Object

Nouns function as subjects or objects in sentences. The subject performs the action, and the object receives the action. For example, in "The peon rang the bell," the peon is the subject, and the bell is the object because the peon's action affects the bell.

Subject and Object Complements

Subject complements provide additional information about the subject, while object complements provide additional information about the object. In "Ram is a writer," Ram is the subject, and "writer" is the subject complement. In "Circumstances have made both the brothers enemies," "brothers" is the object, and "enemies" is the object complement.

Examples of Subject and Object Complements

The teacher explains the difference between subject and object complements with examples. In "I am a teacher of English," "I" is the subject, and "teacher of English" is the subject complement. In "Circumstances have made me brothers," "brothers" is the object, and the object complement provides additional information about the object.

0:46 thing that you can name is a noun And the words that come in place of nouns are pronouns The words that come in place of nouns are pronouns And why do we use this in place of noun Ram is it goodbye I'm going to school on time Ram is very busy Ram Ram is being said 10 times also Ram so that the noun repeats no but we will read a little pronoun then now the one who and whatever does a noun do the same will be done by the pronoun, okay, whatever does a noun do in a sentence, the same pronoun will be shown next I will show you the name pronoun now we will identify nouns and there are many more ways to identify the unknown, all of those will be done in the upcoming classes, okay, whenever you are asking for the answer of right, home or what in a sentence,

1:33 when the answer of am or what comes in the sentence, then who gives the answer to home and worth, the noun gives it like I wrote did the date d k he came a if only leave it I wrote Ram, what did Ram do, what did Ram do to the walk, the answer to the answer is being given then I wrote Ram help Shyam, I wrote something like this, now I am giving many sentences, ask the answers of Ram, who helped, Ram helped, whom did Ram help,

2:18 whom did Shyam help and the answer to home also no, okay, now I will give many sentences to the noun This is a way to identify and one thing to keep in mind is that you don't have that much time in the exam that you don't have that much time that you have got a sentence there and you are asking for the answer of am and home apart from this there are other ways of identifying noun and also other things we have just gone if you ask for the answer of what I said then in the sentence you will say Shakespeare was a dramatic Shakespeare is the name of a person and a dramatist of any person who writes dramas now if you ask for the answer of this and home then you will get a noun in the sentence

3:04 quickly start giving the answer what was Shakespeare Shakespeare driver keep giving in the comment box what did what did Hari broke Hari told whom Brindo so the answer of vote is also coming so window this is also a noun and many other

3:51 things there is another way of identifying noun see here D is placed what is D is article and article is placed with whom article is placed with noun yesterday who invited I invited [music] who ordered who ordered judge D judge order D iron means shackles and chains what to remove what prisoner's chains what vote whose blood whose home prisoner iron whose will come

5:26 vote for whom to print the building so all these next I need some money I mean who needs money what do I need I need what do I need what do I need okay you buy spectacles to buy spectacles so whenever you ask for the answer then this noun gives it okay another way to identify a noun is that now we know what have we done for a noun right now we are studying the characteristics of a noun definition so we will read in detail later what is a noun How many

6:13 types of nouns are there? When we look at the word noun, we will go into it. Here we are just learning how to identify a noun in a sentence. And one or two things that children say is that I have faced difficulty in this, how did you find out that this word is a noun? How did you find out that this is an adjective or an adverb? And this is the fundamental thing. Don't think that you will learn it immediately in a class of one or two days. In a class of one or two days, I am telling you the technique of how to identify it. But you will see that till the end of the batch, I will keep asking you every day in the class that come on tell me what is this word. So for this you have to do your homework. This will continue for the whole month. It does not improve in one or two days. Let's take the next one. And one more thing that I told you is that to identify a noun, you ask the question

7:01 what am I and home. And the other is that with whom is another way to identify a noun. Before any word. Article has been placed na it means it is a noun noun art what is an adjective with an adjective an adjective is an adjective only so noun and pronoun noun and pronoun the words that describe the characteristics of a pronoun are adjectives then a preposition which means before and position position comes before whom the preposition is made by whom another way of identifying is that if a preposition is placed then remember that na comes just after the preposition or a noun is placed before a preposition a sentence look here I just got this done look here you must be seeing the preposition look at this preposition and just after the preposition look here also this prefiest thing is climb here also there is a preposition na

7:48 immediately after the preposition then another way of identifying a noun is just after the preposition na okay now and now look children found and egg in d list d children this will also be na whom how did you know that in no because an article is placed before it and the article is placed with whom how is this also placed with a noun And how did the best come to know that, by putting an article before it, no, there is an article before Ganga as well, it is a noun, Ganga is the name of the river. Now one more thing, look, now some children said that this secret, this sacred is an adjective, okay, it is an adjective of a noun, and where the adjective is, you will tell me that you will

8:33 say that I, you just said that the article is placed with the noun, okay, the article is placed with the noun, but here you have placed it before the adjective, secret means sacred, but you tell me for whom is this article placed for sacred or for whom is it placed for the river, for whom has it been placed, tell me quickly, as I have written it, en, good bye, and you will question me that you have said that the article is placed with the noun, but good, so it is an adjective, right, how, bye, good bye, you have placed it before the adjective here, but this article has never been placed for an adjective, article is never placed for an adjective, so it is for whom, bye, and there it was not placed for the river secret,

9:21 Ganga is en Secret rape okay Ganga is a secret river holy river this na they have got Ganga how has an article come so this article is not for an adjective so this is for the river simply the specialty of the river gas if I had written like this I would have written this is n good n good what is this making sense you never put an article for an adjective this is not making sense our adjective is an adjective never put an article with an adjective simply what will be for a noun it will not be n good this good if you have a mother of Rakshabandhan na and a mother of Rakshabandhan then put a noun after that article is put for noun sir please the specialty of the noun is the specialty of the noun is good right the

10:08 same thing I wanted to tell you again an article is put before this as well article see you are a preposition and only after the preposition play d great role in every success happens your character this role also how did they find out that this is a noun ho did you get you know the role no how did you find out and what the answer is a pleas award

10:55 In what did he play, did he play a role, if you ask for the answer to what also then there is N and with N it is great adjective, what is the screen success, in it has come, so the way to identify it is one, I am an article, secondly preposition, if any adjective is also given along with the noun, okay, adjective also tells the characteristic of the noun, remember, article is not used for it, adjective is not used for adjective, next one see, hee has a beautiful house,

11:41 what is the way to identify a noun, what is this beautiful, beautiful is telling the characteristic and whose characteristic should be told, house is a noun and secondly, this article is also placed, for whom the article is placed for house, you can find out the noun from the article as well and you can also find out like this, what does hee have, what does hee have, hee has what, hee has a beautiful house and what all answers are you getting, this also should not happen, come on, respond to me once, I will tell you, success is not a verb, it is a verb, first tell me once, clear it now We have to take it into a lot of detail, although house is also a noun here, but as

12:27 our batch grows, children say that you study first day, first day, now you study so much basic and when it is the fourth or fifth day of your class, then we cannot imagine that the level will go till here because I have to take all the children in the batch, there are many children whose basics are not clear, so I have to take everyone along, but ultimately our level is of the means only, so from first day you will fill yourself up, you are attending the first day class and on the fifth or sixth day you will see that gradually it is not like this, gradually you also should not have any problem, you will reach the mains level. One is the second method of identifying a noun and the third method, I will tell you about the preposition, off, what did I just say

13:12 that the name of the preposition itself is preposition, if I break it down, plus pujari plus position pari means first and position means place, its name is also first place, what is it, before whom, its place before whom, look, this fan is our name, it is before a preposition, whether you You can also remember that there is another way to identify a name, laavana comes immediately after a preposition, look at this, after preposition, immediately after music off, news on d desk, now this has to be read in much more detail, sometimes what you say gets complicated, where and where you will face problems, on d desk, on preposition,

14:10 now I will tell you everything in detail, next see, 10 students are sitting in d house, sometimes they ask for answers, it may be an adverb, but the answer to where is also look at the preposition, don't think with your eyes closed, wherever where did ware go, Veer means where, so wherever you are asking for the answer to where, it will be an adverb only, sometimes it can also be a preposition, we will clear all that, okay what will it be, for the first three days, basic will be done, after that I will tell everything, after the class, d students are sitting in d house, I will tell you in preposition, what is he telling, please telling, it is not that the

14:56 word denoting place is always Edward also, the word denoting please There can also be a preposition, we will do all that gradually, details like please come and take your seat, which noun is it, come inside and take your seat, which noun is it, that cap will start, tell me the answer for that cap, one they are coming, tell me the answer, please take your seat, after your, York, I will tell you further, this is a possessive adjective, even after the possessive adjective, there is a noun, wait home, this home care, now your confusion, now your confusion, see where, I am rubbing it a little, now the real thing will start from here, now the next one is the function of noun, now we have to learn identification, how will we identify which noun it is and noun identification,

15:41 okay, the noun which works for what in our sentence either becomes the subject in the sentence or becomes the object in the sentence, first of all you have to understand what is subject and object, okay, I will tell you the part of speech of take, I will tell you first see, I have left the sentence, now rock it back After getting it done, then yes what is the function of a noun, what does a noun do in a sentence, the subject in a sentence or else either becoming the object in a sentence, okay the biggest confusion is about subject and object in a sentence, the one in whose head the thing has been said is

16:28 our subject, in the sentence the thing has been said in whose head the thing has been said, in Ram's head so Ram Ram is BG, okay the subject and then I wrote in Ramdev 's head the thing has been said in Ram's head so Ram is the subject, so you quickly identify the problem when you have to go to the object, how many are there in optics, we will read that in articles, we will read that in this article, the way to move on a silent object in thought, what is the difference between subject and object, subject does something, okay, subject does something and its effect goes and falls on the object, okay so in simple language subject is away and object is away,

17:16 subject does something and its effect goes and falls on the object, the object receives the action, see here we sometimes use grammar What do you think about the subject complement? Sometimes you mistakenly consider the subject complement as an object. In this light, I have to tell you that you students who mistakenly consider the subject complement as an object, it is not an object. What is an object? Someone is doing something and its effect is falling on the object. Like I wrote D peon run D bell, what is the subject of this sentence? What did the peon do? He rang the bell. Now

18:03 tell me, look, the peon did it. The peon did it. But the reason was that the effect of going to the bell was on whom. So read the bell. The bell is the object. Okay, because the peon is doing something, but the peon is going back to ring the bell. The peon rang it. But the action of ringing the bell was received by the bell. So the bell is far away here. Now look, there is no pen and there is no bell. And what did I tell you? What is the use of a noun? To be a subject or an object. Okay, this is our object. But if I had written it as N good good bye only. Now I am teaching you to go on subject and object in a sentence, what is our Ram, write Ram is and good bye Ram is the subject of our sentence,

18:50 now tell me can you consider bye as an object? You can consider bye as an object, your bell is considered an object, to make an object one has to keep in mind that the subject is doing the work and its effect is falling on the object, the doer is doing the work, its effect is going to the karan, you can consider it as an object because some people will feel that Ram is the subject, this is a verb and after the subject verb put an object, no no they will not agree, why not Manoj, let's say once properly good bye sir, good bye, this is the subject, the subject is someone far away and here also our Ram here, first tell me what is this me, is the object, this me is the object, Ram help Ram help me,

19:39 who did the work of helping, Ram but the effect ji, go and read on whom, who received the help, the benefit of the help is the object because someone else is doing the work, the effect falls on someone else, okay, this is the object but okay We cannot call it an object Ram is in goodbye this is being said in the head of Ram only it is not that Ram did something else and the effect was felt on someone else this whole thing is being said for the sake of the other person only this whole thing is being said for the sake of Ram so you cannot call it an object Manoj you when someone else is doing the work the effect is falling on someone else so this bye okay this is also a noun but what will we call it subject complement subject complement what does complement mean you can also call it prior or qualifier

20:24 here additional information is being given in the head of the subject itself Ravi is the subject we call this subject complement extra information is being given in the head of the subject it is not an object Manoj now when Manoj someone else is doing the work the effect is falling on someone else okay someone else is doing the work the effect is falling on someone else okay now in the next slide in the previous slide I will tell you to identify who is the object who Subject com let's tell you guys I have just explained you will tell you guys that noun's [ __ ] noun becomes subject and object but noun can also become subject complement can also become object complement now I am telling you what is subject complement see the previous sentence first you will tell me this start answering our sentence can we consider bell as object

21:14 we will talk about this complement in detail later first we will learn to identify in a sentence who is the subject who is the object can we consider bell as object how will we prepare notes that I will tell us how to prepare notes how to do it with which colour pen to do it three colour pens I will tell you all that it is object right yes how did you know that it is object did not do it as subject and the receiver is bell so this is our object ok and Ram Vikram writer can I consider it as object demand power no why not mother power Ram became writer it is not that Ram did any work and it affected the writer only Ram So the writer is the subject and in the head of the subject this additional information is being given so this is not the object this is not the object what will we call this we will

22:01 call the subject completed in the head of the subject complete this additional information is being given in the head of the subject tell me who is the subject of this sentence I am the subject what is the teacher of English to be the subject can be both noun pronoun whatever work doctor will do is not the same because I am the teacher of English I am giving additional information in my head

26:41 because our verb is now, it will be put according to whom, it will be put according to whom, according to the subject, so the subject of this sentence is I and ' m' is put with I, teacher of English was not the subject, teacher of English, so subject complete It is ent and according to the subject complement our object is that object of mine teaching what one or two things and the next sentence is that which is placed according to I K I according to I K now again the circumstances have made me brothers look brothers object brothers our object am teaching brothers is our object and what is this object complete this our object complement this is not an object Manoj this grammar is also not considered an object Manoj okay grammar will also not be considered an object this is a complete subject what am I teaching what am I teaching I am
