What is a noun?
Identifying nouns
• Identify all nouns in the following sentence: According to research, on average, people who use languages in their jobs earn around 8% more.
• Rewrite the sentence so that every noun begins with a big letter.
Nouns with a capital N!
• According to Research, on Average, People who use Languages in their Jobs earn around 8% more.
• All nouns written in German begin with a capital letter, regardless of where they are in a sentence.
Another complication
• In the German language, all nouns have a gender attached to them.
• der – masculine
• die – feminine
• das – neuter
Identifying the gender
• Genders are sometimes, but not always, logical.
• Logical: der Bruder; die Schwester
• Illogical: das Mädchen
• There are some patterns, but the best way to learn a gender is to memorise it with the noun.
