Grammar, nouns: types of nouns. Proper and common.

From 18.6 C$ /h

What is a noun? It's a naming word. We have two types of nouns: proper and common nouns.

Proper noun is a word used to name specific people, things and places. For example: Paul, Bic pen, Addis Ababa.

Common nouns name things in general. They are not specific like proper noun. Example include: teacher doctor, chair, table, school, hospital.

When marking plural, add s to the end of the noun. For example:
Car- cars
Cup - Cups.

Nouns ending in the letters x, s, or z or in ch or sh sound need es. For example:
Boss- bosses
Tax - taxes
Church - churches.

I specialise in tutoring all English subjects. I also work well with all online learning platforms and I believe in leaving no child behind regardless of their learning ability. I believe in engaging learners patiently, and developing ideas through critical thinking. I give assignments, mini tests regularly to confirm understanding.

The subject covers a range of learning areas that will be of interest to learners who want to improve their English and writing skills.
Students will be exposed to the various English language skills. It is my hope that the learners will get something out of our classes and that their use of the English language will ultimately improve.

Grammar is essential for second language learners as well as the native speakers in order for them to have full understanding of the language apart from using it as a communicative tool.

Once you comprehend the rudiments of the language, you won't need anyone to help you.

Learning English should feel exciting, practical, and empowering! As a certified TEFL teacher with training in Creative Writing in London, I have designed this course to help learners of all levels build strong communication skills in English—whether for academic, professional, or personal growth.
In our lessons, we will focus on clear speaking, confident writing, and active listening, while also using creative exercises to make learning fun and memorable. You will learn practical grammar, build vocabulary, and improve fluency through interactive activities, role-playing, and real-world examples. For advanced learners, I integrate creative writing tools—storytelling, descriptive language, and persuasive writing—to take your English to the next level.
My goal is to create a welcoming environment where students feel supported, motivated, and confident to express themselves in English.
