00:00Hi kids! Today we will learn about naming words. So let's start!
00:09Any word which names a person, an animal, a bird, a plant, a place, or anything else is called a naming word.
00:22Naming words are of two types, common names and exact names.
00:29We will learn about naming words and types of naming words with the help of composition. So let's start!
00:41Here we have a passage. Let's read it aloud and circle the naming words in it.
00:51I have come to Ebony Garden with my family.
00:57Now, which words are naming words in it? Let's look at each word and decide whether it's a naming word or not.
01:09I. Is it the name of a person or a thing? No.
01:16Have. Is it the name of a person or a thing? No.
01:24Come. Is it a naming word? No.
01:30To. Is it a naming word? No.
01:36Ebony Garden. Is it a naming word? Yes! It is the name of a place, so it is a naming word. Let's circle it.
01:51We have got our first naming word. With. Is it a naming word? No.
02:01My. Is it a naming word? No.
02:06Family. Is it a naming word? Yes! It is the name of an institution, so it is a naming word.
02:20So we got our second naming word. There are two naming words in this sentence.
02:31Ebony Garden and Family.
02:36My cousins and brothers are also here.
02:42Now, let's find out the naming words in this sentence.
02:48My. Is not the name of a person, a thing, or a place.
02:57Cousin. Is the name of a person, so it's a naming word.
03:04And is not the name of a person, a thing, or a place.
03:11Brothers. Yes! It is the name of a person, so it is a naming word.
03:20Are. Also and Here. Do not describe anything.
03:28So we got two naming words from this sentence. Cousin and Brother.
03:37My mother is reading a book. My. Is not a naming word.
03:45Mother. Yes! It is a naming word, as it is the name of a person.
03:54Is. Is not a naming word.

04:26My. Is not a naming word.
04:30Dad. Dad. It is a naming word, as it is the name of a person.
04:38Is playing. Are not naming words.
04:43Football. Yes! It is a naming word, as it is the name of a game.

05:32In a. These are not naming words.
05:38Basket. Yes! It is a naming word, as it is the name of a thing.

06:41John. Is a naming word, as it is the name of a boy.
06:48Too is having. Are not naming words.

07:02My mom has brought toast, apples, juice, and cakes for all of us.
07:10Now let's find out the naming words from this sentence.
07:15My. Is not a naming word.
07:19Mom. Is a naming word, as it is the name of a person.
07:26Has brought. These two are not naming words.
07:33Toast. Apples. Juice. Cakes.
07:39These are naming words, as these are the names of eatables.
07:45For all of us. None of these is a naming word.
07:51All the encircled words are naming words.
07:55So we found a lot of naming words from this passage.
08:01Naming words can be of two types.
08:06They can be either common names or exact names.
08:13Now let's try to understand the difference between the two.
08:19Common names always begin with a small letter, unless they are the first letter of a sentence.
08:29And exact names begin with a capital letter, like Ebony Garden.
08:38John and Jojo are exact names, as they are the particular names of some place or some persons.
08:51Ebony Garden is the name of a specific garden.
08:57John is the name of a boy.
09:01Jojo is the name of a pet.
09:05So, Ebony Garden is an exact name.
09:11But if we refer to any garden, and not any particular garden, it will be a common name.
09:19If we say boy, it is a common name.
09:24If we say John or Abraham or Peter, they will be exact names, as they are the names of persons.
09:37If we say my pet, it will be a common name.
09:44But if we say my pet Jojo, it will be an exact name.
09:52Likewise, brother, sister, cousin, mother, dad, boy, tree are all common names.
10:06They do not belong to a particular person, place, animal or thing.
10:13So these are common naming words.
10:19Here are some words.
10:22Let's see if they are common or exact naming words.
10:29School.
10:32School is a name, but not the exact name of any particular school.
10:38So it's a common name, not an exact name.
10:44Bus is a name, but not the exact name of a particular bus.
10:52Mercedes is an exact name of a particular type of car.
10:59So it's an exact name, and it will always start with a capital letter.
11:06James is an exact name of a particular person.
11:12So James is an exact name, also called proper naming word.
11:19It will begin with a capital letter.
11:23Here are some more examples.
11:26Oliver.
11:29It is an exact name.
11:32Steffy is an exact name.
11:35Lamp is a common name, as it can be any lamp.
11:42King.
11:44We are not given the particular name of a king, so it is a common name.
11:52Table, a common name.
11:55Chair, a common name.
11:58Pen, a common name.
12:02Niagara Falls is the particular name of a place, so it is an exact word or a proper name.
12:12It will start with a capital letter.
12:16So kids, today we learned what are naming words, and two types of naming words.
12:25Common words and exact words.
12:29Now you may go ahead and take a quiz to learn more.
12:32Bye-bye.
