Hi, welcome back. I know you are dying to learn English, yes I know. But how much have
you grown? How much have you learnt English? Well if you want to improve your English,
today my friends I'm gonna make your life very simple as I will be telling about those
words that can be used as nouns and verbs, so that means when you speak about or when
you speak something using these verbs, you don't have to stretch your sentence so much,
you're gonna make a sentence simple, shorter but sound very effective. Great! Good news.
So let's get started, people my name is Emmelda and the first word of the day I have to you
is, “water”. Everybody knows what water is, okay? Water is the liquid that you drink,
okay? Almost everybody loves water, everybody needs water. Now this is a noun… okay, I'm
gonna write all the nouns here and I'm going to write all the verbs here. Okay, how do
you use water as a verb? As I said, ‘everybody needs water’, that means even your plants
and animals need water. So anytime you're saying, “I'm going to pour water on the
plants”, because they need it, you can make it simple by saying, “let me water the plants”,
you don't have to say, “I am going to pour water to the plants” just say “I am going
to water the plants”. Okay so here water becomes a verb, you're talking about the action
directly. Otherwise water is a noun. Moving on to the next one I have for you is, “pedal”.
Pedal is a noun. What do you know about pedal? Yeah, pedal is those two steps that you put
on your leg and you pedal. You pedal a cycle, you pedal a boat, right? Now that's a pedal.
But the entire process of you pressing those pedal, you don't have to say, “let me press
the pedal and let the boat move”, you just have to say, “let me pedal the boat” because
it has to move, so that's how to use the word pedal as a verb instead of a noun. “Let
me pedal the boat”, okay? Next what I have for you is, “Bank”. Bank is a place where
you store your cash or your money. How do we use the word Bank as a verb? When you use
the word Bank, what exactly Bank means for you? That means you're trusting someone with
the money that you have, it is very important for you, right? You depend on that. Now that's
exactly how are you going to use the word, ‘Bank’, that means you are depending on
something, so how do you use it in a sentence, “dude I'm banking on that money man, I can't
give it to you” that means I'm depending on that money I cannot give it to you, so
“I am banking on” that or “I am banking upon” that. So here the word bank becomes
gerund, okay? Banking on that, it may be money, it could be something which is very important
to you, I am banking on that… The next word I have for you is, “cover”. Cover is a
thing that closes a vessel or something that is big, anything that blocks something and
obstructs air or any information and that piece you call as cover. So this in a vessel
this top portion becomes cover. But how do you use it as a verb? You can say, let me
cover you with a blanket or let me put a blanket on you. So instead of saying let me put a
blanket on you or let me close the door or let me oh you know let me bring the curtains…
you need to say, “let me cover you with a blanket”, “let me cover the windows
with the curtain” okay? So example for you is, let me cover you… let me cover you…
let me cover you… “let me cover that vessel”, “let me cover the curtains”, let me cover
you… The next I have for you is, “ride”. Now ride is an action verb, right? You ride
a bike, you ride a cycle… so how do you use the word ride as a noun? Ride is used
as a noun when you're talking about distance but you don't know exactly how far the distance
is. So instead of saying oh maybe that place is 15 minutes away from here, if you go by
a car, you say that distance or that building is 15 minutes ride from here. So instead of
saying, as a action verb you say, it as a noun that means you are replacing the action
of moving to the place as a noun. So here I'm going to write as a sentence, let me just
reduce the size of my vessel here, “that is 15 minutes ride”, that's a 15 minutes
ride. Usually use it for a vehicle such as car or a bus. The next word I have for you
is, “building”. What is building? Building is the structure where people either live
or work, right? So this is your door, this is your window… it's a huge tall structure.
How do you use the word, ‘building’ as a verb? When you want to say something very
important or something we are talking about emotions you can use the word building. For
example, “my frustration is building listening to your stories” okay that's how you use
it. Or, ‘we are building monsters here’ that's not the way, you say, ‘we are creating
monsters here’. But you use building for talking about emotions, okay? Maybe, frustration
is building up, frustration is building up. The next word which is very similar to building
is, “structure”. Structure is a framework as a noun, okay? It could be a building structure,
it could be a project structure, it could be a structure of a shelf, but how do you
use it as a verb? When you arrange things, you can use the word structure. So if you
are talking about arranging your thoughts, you can say, “let me structure my thoughts”,
so that's how you use the word structure as a verb for arrangement or arranging something.
So let me structure this for you or I need to structure my thoughts, okay? The next one
I have for you is, “walk”. Walk like ride is an action verb, okay? It's basically you're
walking, right? So that's your legs, did I tell you I suck at my drawing? Yes so you
action, you walk. But just like ride, you can say that place or “that building is
five minutes walk from here”. Now if you look at Google map, it will tell you how far
the distance is, like how long will it take for you to reach there. So you can say, “it's
two hours walk” or “half an hour's drive or ride” okay? So that's how you can use
the word walk as a noun. It's a five minutes’ walk. Cash. Cash is the word for money, how
can you use the word cash as a verb? You have options, either you can add the word or add
the phrase ‘en’ in front of cash that means, “I need to encash it”. Maybe I
have a laptop and if I want to encash it, that means I have to sell a laptop and get
some money out of it. So cash, encash. Some people use a word cash just the way it is,
“let me cash it for you” that means let me make money out of it, it's okay it's not
incorrect people, don't be so petty or fussy about it. So cash better way to say as a verb
is let me encash it. The next I have for you is, “copy”. Copy is a noun which is used
for maybe like for example you have a photograph, very pretty one right, and you're very happy
with it you want to show it to all your friends or probably send it to your grandma who's
living in a countryside you make copies of it. So here copy is replica of the same image
or same item, right? Maybe it's a picture. But how do you use this as a verb, when you
repeat the action you say, “I copied him”, okay? So that's how you use the word copy
as a verb when you repeat something over and over again. Especially when you repeat after
somebody else is doing it. So you need to copy his notes. You need to copy the way he
speaks. Mimicking is copying somebody else's style, okay? The next one I have for you is,
“view”. Now view is a verb primary used as a verb, to look, okay? Look or see. But
let's say if you have a beautiful scenery, maybe you're standing at top of the mountain
and the place that is seeing from the mountain is beautiful, how do you express it? You say,
“that's a beautiful view” and that's your Sun, then you have birds going. So that's
a beautiful view okay, so that's how you use view as a noun instead of a verb. Moving on
to very interesting one is, “party”. Party actually means group of people. So people
don't only use party for a party but also when they're referring to another person,
another group of people. For example you'll hear this phrase quite often, “third party
consent” or “third party objection” that means another party or another group
of people are happy or not happy with it. So party is actually referred to group of
people. But how do we use the word party as a verb? When you get together and have fun,
right? Maybe you want to have some music, you want to dance… so that's how we use
party for having fun with friends. So party, it's a group of people, using it as a verb
is having fun with friends. The last one I have for you is, “dress”. Now like my
dress, dress is a noun, okay? So it could be costume or a skirt or a frock or whatever
that you may call, dress… But how do you use the word dress as a verb? You have to
say, “you need to dress up well” so that means you are doing the action of wearing
all the clothes and getting ready. So an example for this is, “please dress accordingly”.
“Please dress up well”. So it is the action for wearing the clothes okay, an example for
this is, I need to dress well, that means I genuinely want to wear good clothes, so
that's how you use the word dress not only as a noun, I need to be I need to wear a beautiful
dress or I need to dress a beautiful dress, okay? You can use the word dress as a noun
as well as verb. So people these are the very basic word that are actually can be used as
a noun as well as verb and if you use these verbs instead of a noun, for example Bank
is usually used as a noun but if you use the word Bank as a verb, quickly whoever you're
talking to will get the attention and like hey you said something different, right? So
that's how you need to use these words differently to your advantage. I hope you enjoyed this
lesson I will be back with another one, hope to see you soon, goodbye.
