Activity :
1. First group have presented their assignment. The knowledge obtained from their
presentation about nouns are :

NOUN

Is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing,

and abstract idea.

Many common nouns, like "engineer" or "teacher,"

can refer to men or women.
Example :
David Garrick was a very prominent
eighteenth-century actor. (men)
Sarah Siddons was at the height of her career as an actress in
the 1780s. (girl)

Propper Nouns

NOUN
GANDER

The noun represents the name of a specific person, place, or thing. The names of days of
the week, months, historical documents, institutions, organization , religions, their holy
texts and their adherents are proper nouns. A proper noun is the opposite of a common
noun.

Common Nouns

A noun referring to a person, place, or thing in a general sense - usually, should write it
with a capital letter only when it begins a sentence. A common noun is the opposite of a
proper noun.

Abstract Nouns

A noun which names anything which you can not perceive through your five
physical senses, and is the opposite of a concrete noun.

Countable Nouns

(or count noun) is a noun with both a singular and a plural form, and it names
anything (or anyone) that you can count. You can make a countable noun plural
and attach it to a plural verb in a sentence. Countable nouns are the opposite of
non-countable nouns and collective nouns.

Non - Countable Nouns

(or mass noun) is a noun which does not have a plural form, and which refers to
something that you could (or would) not usually count. A non-countable noun always
takes a singular verb in a sentence. Non-countable nouns are similar to collective nouns,
and are the opposite of countable nouns.

Collective Nouns

A noun naming a group of things, animals, or persons. You could count the
individual members of the group, but you usually think of the group as a whole is
generally as one unit. You need to be able to recognize collective nouns in order to
maintain subject-verb agreement. A collective noun is similar to a non-countable
noun, and is roughly the opposite of a countable noun.

Conclusion :
In my opinion when I learned the Foundation English subject this time I gained a lot of
fun. This is because I can learn the basics of the English language before I was a considerably

less understand. This week I was able to learn and understand the types of nouns. Maybe after
this I was able to use the knowledge gained is so much better
Presentation made by this group is good and full of information filling.

Conclusion :
Information that I have this week is about pronouns. I began to understand better the
pronouns with pronouns is divided into a number of which personal pronouns, possessive
pronouns and reflexive pronouns. There are several other types of pronouns that I understand a
little less like pronouns interrogative, demonstrative pronouns and indefinite pronouns. However,
I have to learn again about these pronouns to improve my English.
