  • 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 nounokay, 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 plantsjust 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 boatbecause

  • 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 youthat means I'm depending on that money I cannot give it to you, so

  • “I am banking onthat or “I am banking uponthat. 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 thatThe 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 curtainokay? So example for you is, let me cover youlet me cover you

  • let me cover you… “let me cover that vessel”, “let me cover the curtains”, let me cover

  • youThe next I have for you is, “ride”. Now ride is an action verb, right? You ride

  • a bike, you ride a cycleso 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 windowit's a huge tall structure.

  • How do you use the word, ‘buildingas 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 storiesokay that's how you use

  • it. Or, ‘we are building monsters herethat'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 orthat 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 walkorhalf an hour's drive or rideokay? So that's how you can use

  • the word walk as a noun. It's a five minuteswalk. 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 phraseenin 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 youthat 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 viewand 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

  • consentorthird party objectionthat 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 danceso 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, dressBut how do you use the word dress as a verb? You have to

  • say, “you need to dress up wellso 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.
