Today's Grammar Guide will focus on another common part of speech: nouns. Nouns are some of the first words that we try to memorize when we learn a new language. Without nouns, our thoughts and ideas would be difficult to express.
One aspect of nouns that many students of English find difficult is articles. Nouns can be categorized into 3 groups when trying to determine whether or not to use an article: generic nouns, indefinite nouns, and definite nouns. We will discuss these three groups today.
Generic Nouns
We use generic nouns when we want to talk about something in very general, unspecific terms. We could say that we use a generic noun as a symbol to represent a whole group.
A student must do homework everyday.
Students must do homework everyday.
Homework helps students learn.
In these sentences, a student, students, and homework are generic nouns. We are not referring to any student or students in particular; we are referring only to students in general. We are not referring to any specific homework assignment; we are referring to any and all homework.
The article a is used for singular count nouns.
No article is used for plural count nouns or non-count nouns.
Indefinite Nouns
We use indefinite nouns when we want to talk about something that is real but unidentified specifically. We could use an indefinite noun when we refer to something for the first time or without explaining its details.
Yesterday I met a new student.
Yesterday I met some new students.
Yesterday I had a lot of homework.
In these sentences, a student, some students, and a lot of homework are indefinite nouns. We are referring to a real student or real students, but the student or students are not specified further. We are referring to actual homework, but the homework is not specified. Generally, when we talk about something for the first time, the nouns are considered indefinite because they are not known by both the speaker and the listener. After we talk about something once, we can use definite nouns.
The article a is used for singular count nouns.
Some and other expressions of quantity like many, a few, a lot of, and numbers are used for plural count nouns.
Some and other expressions of quantity like much, a little, and a lot of are used for non-count nouns.
Definite Nouns
We use definite nouns when we want to talk about something that is specifically identified. Both the speaker and the listener are thinking of the same thing when they use a definite noun.
Did you meet the student from Japan?
Did you meet the students from Japan?
Did you do the homework from grammar class?
In these sentences, the student, the students, and the homework are definite nouns. We are referring to a specific student or specific students that both the speaker and the listener are aware of. We are referring to specific homework that both the speaker and the listener know about. After we mention an indefinite noun for the first time, we can use definite nouns to refer to that same thing.
The article the is used for singular count nouns, plural count nouns, and non-count nouns.

Summer English Adventure!
Nomen Global is excited to take English outdoors and into the wild! During our 4th of July break, we are exploring some of the most popular national parks and engaging in world-class activities. Take a look at a few of our destinations:
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park is in the top 10 most popular national parks in the United States. Famous for its plentiful geysers and hot springs, Yellowstone is both a beautiful and educational experience.
Nomen Global students will take a tour of the most popular site at Yellowstone National Park to learn about the history and dangerous beauty that Mother Earth provides. To view more pictures of Yellowstone, visit National Geographic.
Jackson Hole
The center of the action and adventure, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is the destination with endless possibilities. We will embark on a classic Western experience: horseback riding.
Lava Hot Springs
After we exert ourselves on the range and on the river, we will relax in the Lava Hot Springs. These world-famous pools of naturally hot water will ease our muscles.
Grand Tetons
Don't forget to pull out your cameras for Grand Tetons National Park. We will spend a day hiking in this gorgeous western mountain range.
Star Valley, Wyoming
We will lodge in the beautiful Star Valley. In addition to hanging out and enjoying being with each other, we will spend some time golfing! This favorite pastime is loved for many reasons.
Calendar
Our excursion will begin on Thursday afternoon on June 23 and will last until mid-week on June 29. The students will have some time to relax and enjoy the local festivities in preparation for Independence Day on July 4.

Grammar Guide: Verbs
The last Grammar Guide on April 22 focused on all eight parts of speech. For the next few weeks, we will explain an additional topic that has to do with that part of speech. Today, we will talk about verbs.
Verbs are one of the most important aspects of English sentences. Generally, verbs are some of the very first words that students learning English learn. We already know that verbs represent the action or the situation in a sentence. But did you know that every verb has 4 different forms? The form of the verb is like the "shape" of the verb. We use the form of the verb to create the verb tenses.
Let's look at some examples.
There are 4 verb forms: simple, past, past participle, and present participle. We'll take the verb to listen and to speak. To listen is a regular verb and to speak is an irregular verb.
Simple Form
This form is usually the first form that we learn when we are introduced to a new verb. Notice that the "simple form" is simply the infinitive form without the to. The simple form is used in the verb tenses simple present and simple future.
simple present: I listen to you. I speak English. I read* books. I write letters.
simple future: I will listen to you. I will speak English. I will read books. I will write letters.
Past Form
This form is usually the second form that we learn when we are introduced to a new verb. The past form is tricky because it is inconsistent between regular and irregular verbs. For regular verbs, the past form is the simple form plus -ed. For irregular verbs, the past form varies. Some past form irregular verbs change the vowel, others stay the same, others change the spelling completely. The past form is used, of course, in the simple past verb tense.
simple past: I listened to you. I spoke English. I read* books. I wrote letters.
*Read is pronounced differently in the present and past tense. In the present tense, read is pronounced like "reed." In the past tense, read is pronounced like "red."
Past Participle
The past participle can either be very easy or very tricky. For regular verbs, the past participle is generally the exact same form as the past form. For irregular verbs, however, the past participle varies as well. The past participle is used in all three (present, past, future) perfect tenses.
present perfect: I have listened to you. I have spoken English. I have read books. I have written letters.
past perfect: I had listened to you. I had spoken English. I had read books. I had written letters.
future perfect: I will have listened to you. I will have spoken English. I will have read books. I will have written letters.
Present Participle
This form is one of the most common forms, meaning it is used in the most verb tenses. This form is also the easiest except for the simple form. Simply add -ing to the simple form of the verb to create the present participle. The present participle is used in both the progressive and perfect progressive tenses.
present progressive: I am listening to you. I am speaking English. I am reading books. I am writing letters.
past progressive: I was listening to you. I was speaking English. I was reading books. I was writing letters.
future progressive: I will be listening to you. I will be speaking English. I will be reading books. I will be writing letters.
present perfect progressive: I have been listening to you. I have been speaking English. I have been reading books. I have been writing letters.
past perfect progressive: I had been listening to you. I had been speaking English. I had been reading books. I had been writing letters.
future perfect progressive: I will have been listening to you. I will have been speaking English. I will have been reading books. I will have been writing letters.

International Food and Laser Tag
Nomen Global students have had an exciting week of food and fun. We started off with an international food banquet! For our Monday Activity, we set out as groups on a quest to find the best restaurants that represent our respective countries. The Mexican students found great Mexican food, the Korean students found delicious Korean food, and the list goes on! After each group found its way back to the school with plates of international dishes, we taught each other about the significance of each dish in our countries. We gave short presentations about our home cultures and traditions. The best part, however, was the food itself! We took samples of dishes from around the world and shared our favorite foods with each other.
Take a look at Nomen Global students as we sample foods from around the world.

The week ended with a fun trip over to Provo's favorite laser tag facility, Laser Assault. Nomen Global students suited up in laser-sensored vests and laser guns. Similar to paint ball, laser tag is a 2-team sport. The teams seek to protect their own targeted laser sensors and shoot the opponents' target. Wearing laser-sensored vests, each player is also a target! Teams earn points when they shoot other team members and their target. Although our students lost this week's battle, we loved playing this high-intensity sport! We will return and hopefully claim the victory!

Happy Birthday!
Clarke, our hard-working president at Nomen Global who has been at this English school for over 14 years, is having a birthday this weekend! We thought we'd take a look at a few of the American traditions associated with these special days.
Song
The most well-known song in the English language is "Happy Birthday." This song was written in 1893 by Mildred and Patty Hill. The two sisters were school teachers in Kentucky. As an accomplished musician, Mildred wrote the tune and her sister, Patty, wrote the lyrics to a simple song to greet their students:
"Good morning to you,
Good morning to you,
Good morning, dear children,
Good morning to all."
After about 30 years, the lyrics were anonymously changed to the ever-popular
"Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday, dear ______,
Happy birthday to you."
Visit Randall's Cyber Listening Lab for some fun listening practice on birthdays (easy) and sending invitations (medium difficulty).

Party
To celebrate a birthday, most Americans have a party with friends and family. Most celebrators send out decorated invitations in the mail, or more recently, through Facebook. Traditionally, guests invited to the party bring a gift for the person, but this is not usually necessary for older birthday celebrators.
Cake
In the United States, a birthday isn't complete without some sort of celebratory confection. Most people choose from a variety of different flavored cakes and frostings. The most important part of a birthday cake, however, is the candles on top. The number of candles represents the age that the person is turning. For example, if someone is turning 25, there would be 25 candles on top of the cake. After the all the candles are lit, everyone sings the famous "Happy Birthday" song. The person who has a birthday then makes a wish (without telling anyone!) and blows out the candles. If all the candles go out in one breath, legend says that the wish will come true!

Grammar Guide: Parts of Speech
If you have studied English—or any language for that matter—you know the significance of parts of speech. "Part of speech" is a grammar term that refers to how a word is used in a sentence. Many students can recognize a noun or a verb, but did you know that there are 8 parts of speech? Did you know that the same word can be a noun in one sentence, but a verb in another? Read more to find out about all of these types of words.
Verb
One of the most important parts of a sentence, verbs represent the action or state of being. A verb must have a subject, or something or someone that does the action. Verbs also show time through their tense. There are 12 verb tenses in English.
Oh! The tall man was riding his bicycle across the street and the red car was speeding through the intersection! They almost crashed!
Noun
Nouns can represent people, places, animals, things, or ideas. They can take the place of subject, direct object, indirect object, or object of a preposition in a sentence.
Oh! The tall man was riding his bicycle across the street and the red car was speeding through the intersection! They almost crashed!
Pronoun
Pronouns take the place of nouns. The noun to which a pronoun refers is called the antecedent. There are 4 different types of pronouns: subject pronouns, object pronouns, possessive adjectives, and possessive pronouns.
Oh! The tall man was riding his bicycle across the street and the red car was speeding through the intersection! They almost crashed!
Adjective
Adjectives are describing or quantifying words that modify nouns or pronouns. In English, the adjective usually precedes the word it modifies.
Oh! The tall man was riding his bicycle across the street and the red car was speeding through the intersection! They almost crashed!
Adverb
Adverbs can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or even a whole phrase or clause! Adverbs answer the questions how?, where?, when?, to what extent?, and how much?
Oh! The tall man was riding his bicycle across the street and the red car was speeding through the intersection! They almost crashed!
Preposition
Prepositions connect nouns, pronouns, and phrases to other parts of the sentence. Prepositional phrases can be adjectival or adverbial in nature.
Oh! The tall man was riding his bicycle across the street and the red car was speeding through the intersection! They almost crashed!
Conjunction
Conjunctions are the connecting words in English. They connect words, phrases, and even clauses together!
Oh! The tall man was riding his bicycle across the street and the red car was speeding through the intersection! They almost crashed!
Interjection
Interjections are used to convey emotions. They are not grammatically apart of sentences. An exclamation mark is usually used with interjections.
Oh! The tall man was riding his bicycle across the street and the red car was speeding through the intersection! They almost crashed!
Last, but not least, we will answer the riddle from last week's post.
Q: A woman has two coins that equal 30 cents in total. One of them is not a nickel. What are the two coins?
A: A quarter and a nickel! A quarter is not a nickel!

Nature Scavenger Hunt at Bridal Veil Falls
Nomen Global students enjoy not only a great English education but also beautiful mountain surroundings! Last week we hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls, a breath-taking waterfall up the canyon, to explore nature and have fun with English.The purpose of a scavenger hunt is to be the first group finished finding all of the items on the list. The students broke up into teams and received a camera and list of things to find in nature.
In order to prove that each item was found, the groups had to take a picture of everything they found.Items on the list focused on things in nature. Some of the items were easy to spot; others required our students to get creative!
- Someone doing a handstand in front of a waterfall.
- Someone holding a really big rock.
- A wild animal.
- Someone wearing a hat made out of leaves.
- Someone drinking a waterfall.
- Three people dancing in front of a tall tree.
- Someone with sticks for fingers.
- Someone holding the sun.
- Someone walking on water.
- Two people doing karate with a tree.
Our students had a great time talking about how to take each picture. They also had a great time in nature! Now that spring is finally coming, we love to take English learning outside to discover what Utah has to offer.

Money
On April 4, 2011, we blogged about how Nomen Global offers cheaper tuition and cost of living than other English schools in Provo and the United States. This blog post is to make sure you know how to use all that money that you’ve saved by coming to Nomen Global Language Centers.
Often when going to a new country either for business, pleasure, or to study, people don’t consider learning about the money system. The denominations might be confusing at first, but with this quick lesson and a little practice, you’ll be able to buy those souvenirs for yourself and your friends and family back home.
First off, we have one dollar. Here is an example of a dollar bill. However, there are also dollar coins. The two most recent dollar coins are the Sacagawea Dollar and the Presidential Dollar coins. You’ll hear people refer to a dollar is a “buck.” For example, “It cost me 20 bucks.”Now, there are different denominations of bills. There’s a one dollar bill.
But there's also a 2 dollar bill,
a 5 dollar bill,
a 10 dollar bill,
a 20 dollar bill,
a 50 dollar bill,
and a 100 dollar bill.
Now anything less than one dollar is counted in cents. 100 cents make one dollar and they are represented by coins. One cent is called a penny, 5 cents is a nickel, 10 cents is a dime, 25 cents is a quarter, and 50 cents is a half dollar. The math is pretty straight forward: 5 pennies equals a nickel, 2 nickels equals a dime, 2 dimes and a nickel equals a quarter, etc.

ComedySportz
Last Friday a handful of Nomen Global students experienced one of the best comedy shows in Utah! ComedySportz is a popular improv show in Provo featuring two teams of comedians. The teams battle against each other using audience suggestions to generate as much laughter as possible!
Could you create a conversation based on a random text message from a stranger? Well, this challenge was one of the favorite sketches from Friday's performance. A member from the audience read a text message they had received, and the teams had to use that text message in their dialogue. Then the audience chose which team performed the best and funniest sketch.
"I really like the show because they interacted with the audience. Being involved made it more interesting," reports Jinseon, an English student from Korea.
ComedySportz is a great activity for students learning English because it challenges their listening ability. It also gives them a valuable cultural experience. A basic understanding of humor can give insights into the culture. Someone once said that you become more fluent when you can understand and tell jokes.
Nomen Global students enjoy learning more about and living in American culture. Our English school plans and participates in great activities to enhance the education of our students. To learn more about Nomen Global, visit our website.
