  3. Lesson 2A • If a noun has quantifying adjectives, such as numbers or words like ‘many’ or ‘few’ the noun is automatically understood to be plural. • 5 dogs • 5 DOG • Many books • MANY BOOK • A general rule – nouns drop their suffixes • -ness, -ment, -ity, -tion • Examples: • Colorblindness affects many people • Accomplishment is a wonderful feeling.

  6. Things to Remember • Modified Nouns • Nouns that are changed by being described with adjectives • The descriptor follows the noun • Example: • His green car. • Compound words • Glossed the same way • One concept, but two signs • Doghouse • DOG HOUSE • Person Marker • Sometimes the English word does not appear in the gloss • Student • LEARN + PERSON MARKER

  7. Things to Remember • Word that have their own sign • Lovely = • Lately = • Every Night = • Some nouns should not be simplified. • Signs represent concepts • Vacation = HOLIDAY • Vacate = TO LEAVE or EMPTY • Employment = WORK • Employ = UTILIZE
