Different Shape Names (with Useful List, Types) • 7ESL

Pin

Are you looking for different shape names in English? Here you will find a list of shapes with different types and useful example sentences. If you work in a business that requires the use of mathematics, for example then it would be very important that you are aware of the English names for shapes.

However, this may not be the only reason that you need to learn this information. When taking part in day-to-day conversations, you will need to learn the shape names in order to describe something or be able to understand what someone is talking about, for example, if a person tells you about ‘the square plate.’ Here, you can learn shape names and further expand your vocabulary.

Shapes

What Are Shapes?

Shapes are geometric figures, or the pattern an outline falls into. Shapes are often drawn (whether by ink, pencil, or digitally), but they occur in life, also. Frequently, people picture 2D (two-dimensional, or flat) images when they hear the word “shapes,” so most of the objects listed in this lesson will be 2D shapes, but some will be 3D as well.

Different Types of Shapes

There are many, many different types of shapes, and there are names for basically all of them. The following list focuses on more common shapes that you’re more likely to encounter or to need or want to know the name of.

Two-Dimensional (Flat) Shapes

• Circle: A circle is an equally round shape. Picture the lid of a jar, flat, from above. That is a circle. The wheels on a car are circular, as well. So are the holes in most lined paper and notebooks.
• Oval: An oval is basically a circle that’s been a little squished. The cups of over-the-ear headphones are generally referred to as oval. So is the profile of an egg. Some make a distinction between circles that have been squished in the middle versus circles that have been squished at the top, the former being called an ellipse, but common usage treats both as ovals.
• Rectangle: A rectangle is a shape with four sides, made up of two sets of parallel lines, with four right angles (90 degree angles; picture a capital L). It doesn’t matter whether the sets of sides are the same length. Picture a plain piece of printing paper. This is a rectangle, with one set of sides (generally the top and bottom) shorter than the other set of sides (generally the left and right).
• Square: A square is a very specific type of rectangle, one with four equal sides. Some boxes have a square footprint. Origami paper is square.
• Triangle: A triangle is a shape with three straight sides. These sides can be any length, with any degree of angle, as long as the three sides are joined at their ends. Many warning signs are triangular. A slice of a round pizza is mostly triangular (the crust is a little too rounded to be perfect).
• Pentagon: A pentagon is a shape with five sides. A basic drawing of a house, with two lines for the roof, a line for each side, and a line for the bottom is generally a pentagon.

Shapes with more sides are generally named based on how many sides they have. A hexagon has six sides, heptagon has seven, and an octagon has eight.

Three-Dimensional Shapes

Three-dimensional shapes are ones that aren’t just flat on paper, but also take up room vertically. Only a few are really commonly named.

• Sphere: A sphere is a 3D circle, like a ball.
• Cube: A cube is a 3D square, like a box.
• Pyramid: A pyramid is a 3D triangle. The giant structures in Egypt are pyramids, as is the Luxor in Las Vegas.

Shape Names

It’s important to build a good vocabulary, in any language. The more words you know and understand, the better you can communicate. Even if you don’t use the words often, understanding them allows you to follow along with a conversation, even if it ventures a little outside of your comfort zone. This lesson is specifically focused on different types of shapes.

• Hexagon
• Triangle
• Scalene triangle

Shapes – Definition with Examples

What are Shapes?

In geometry, a shape can be defined as the form of an object or its outline, outer boundary or outer surface.

Everything we see in the world around us has a shape. We can find different basic shapes such as the two-dimensional square, rectangle, and oval or the three-dimensional rectangular prism, cylinder, and sphere in the objects we see around us. These geometric shapes appear in objects we see as credit cards, bills and coins, finger rings, photo frames, dart boards, huts, windows, magician’s wands, tall buildings, flower pots, toy trains, and balloons.

Shapes can be classified into open and closed shapes.

Closed geometric shapes can further be put into two broad categories, namely two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes.

Here’s a list of 2-D or two-dimensional shapes with their names and pictures:

Here’s a list of 3-D or three-dimensional shapes with their names and pictures:

The color, overall size, and orientation called the non-defining attributes of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional shape do not define or affect the shape in any way. These attributes can change without any effect on the shape. 

On the other hand, defining attributes such as the number of sides (parallel or non-parallel, straight or curved), vertices, edges, and faces of a shape, whether the shape is open or closed, and the angle measures determine the shape of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional object. Any change in these defining attributes will change the shape.

Declension of nouns - Table and examples

Knowing the types of declension in Russian is important in order to write unstressed endings without errors. Therefore, let's figure out how to determine the declension of a noun.

Declension of nouns: definition

There are two main types of inflection in Russian: declension and conjugation.

Declension is a change of words in cases, numbers and genders. Nominal parts of speech are declined: nouns, adjectives, numerals and pronouns.

The noun is a part of speech that denotes an object and changes in cases and numbers. The constant attribute of a noun is gender.

Declension of nouns is a change in cases, numbers and genders.

To decline the word means to change it in cases.

Now we will tell you how to find out the declension of nouns.

Demo lesson in Russian

Take the test at the introductory lesson and find out what topics separate you from the "five" in Russian.

First, second and third declension of nouns

Let's move on to three types of noun declension.

The first declension of nouns in Russian

The first declension includes masculine and feminine nouns with the ending -а/-я in the form of the nominative case:

• man;

• bath;

• road;

• country;

• machine.

Download

Even the first declension includes nouns of the general gender - this is when you can say about both men and women: a hard worker, a bully, a crybaby, a good fellow, a fidget, an upstart, a slut, a slob.

A number of feminine nouns of the first declension end in -iya:

• history;

• location;

• separation.

These words in the form of the dative and prepositional singular have the endings - and , in contrast to the typical nouns of the first declension. Compare with examples:

• I. p. - (what?) lecture, grass

• R. p. - lecture time (what?), no grass

• D. p. — let's pay attention to (what?) lectures, grass

• genius, author, hero;

• house, man;

• word, deed, sea, jam.

Download

Separately, consider neuter nouns that end in :

• mood

• marriage

• note.

Such nouns in the singular form of the prepositional case end in - and when declensed. Like this:

• I. p. - (what?) indication, lake

• R. p. - no (what?) instructions, lakes

• D. p. - we are surprised (what?) at the instruction, to the lake

• V. p. - I read (what?) an indication, I see a lake

• T. p. - interested in (what?) indication, lake

• P. p. - I will tell (about what?) about the instruction, about the lake

The third declension of nouns in Russian

The third declension includes feminine nouns with a zero ending in the nominative case:

• true story;

• joy;

• lilac;

• sky blue;

• luxury;

• bitterness;

• whim;

• thing.

Declension table of nouns

To determine the declension of a noun, first we determine its gender. Then we highlight the ending of the noun in the nominative case of the singular. And then - by gender and ending, we determine the declension. That's all!

For convenience, you can use the table of case endings for Russian nouns. The plate is especially useful in the 4th grade, when students are just starting to get acquainted with this topic.

We invite you to exciting Russian language courses at Skysmart online school for children and teenagers!

Case endings of nouns: table

Case	Singular			Plural
	1 fold.	2 fold	3 fold
Nominative	- | -ö		-	| -a -z
Genitive	-a -z | -y -y		- and	| -ev | -yov | -ey
Dative		| -and	- and	-am -yam
Accusative	=I/R		= AND	=I/R
Creative	| -em | -em	| -ey | -ey | -yoyu | -Eyu	-yu	-ami -ami | -mi
Prepositional	| -i | -u -yu	| -and	- and	-ah -ah

We have singled out the plural endings in a separate column, since the differences between them are less significant than in the singular.

An accent over an ending means that it will always be stressed. If the last consonant in the word is g, k, x, f, w, u or h - the ending -s is replaced by -i .

Stem final consonant	Regulation
	Hammerless	Impact
Hard	computer	table, window
soft incl.	field, hero	rain, horse
Sizzling (W, W, H, W) or C	watchman, march, comrade, match, finger, tentacle, window, dress	snake, ruff, tractor, ivy, face, word

In addition to changing the ending when declining, the following is possible:

• accent shift: hand - hand, judge - judges;

• alternation of e/e accompanying the shift of stress: hedgehog - hedgehog, lake - lakes;

• loss and appearance of a fluent vowel: finger - finger, stand - stands;

• alternation of suffixes: kitten - kittens, seed - seeds.

We have learned how to determine the declension type of a noun. Now consider inflected and indeclinable nouns.

Heterogeneous nouns

Let's allocate into a separate group the inflected nouns into -mya:

• burden;

• udder;

• crown;

• flame;

• stirrup;

• time;

• banner;

• name;

• tribe;

• seed;

• way;

• child.

These words are called inflected because they are partly declined as nouns of the third declension, and in the instrumental form they form the ending of the second declension.

Compare:

• I.p. — flame, child, path, night

• R.p. - flames, children, paths, nights

• L.p. - flames, children, paths, nights

• V.p. — flame, child, path, night

• T.p. - by flame, child (s), by, at night

• p.p. - about the flame, about the child, about the path, about the night.

Indeclinable nouns

Indeclinable nouns are nouns in which all case-numerical forms are the same. Among them are:

• Common nouns of all genders that end in vowels -y, -i, -e, -o and stressed -a:

  avenue, bureau, depot, blinds, jelly, jury, interview, cocoa, cafe, kangaroo, cinema, cliche, coffee, coupe, lady, menu, subway, coat, piano, radio, sambo, scoreboard, taxi, dressing table, piano , chimpanzee, highway, popsicle.

• Proper names: Tbilisi, Sochi, Sukhumi, Baku, Chicago, Oslo; Mary, Jose, Garibaldi, Goethe, Zola.

• Borrowed feminine, proper and common nouns that end in a hard consonant: madam, Irene, Aliger, Luxembourg.

• Proper names in -ovo (-yovo), -evo, -ago (-yago), -ykh (-ih), -ko:

  Domodedovo, Zhivago, Chernykh, Shevchenko.

• Abbreviations.

Features of the declension of individual words

The words "man" and "child" in the plural form forms from "people" and "children". After numerals that require the genitive plural, "man" has the form "man": six people. The word "child" in this case behaves as usual: six children.

The words "son" and "godfather" in the plural acquire the suffix -ov: sons, godfathers.

The words "mother" and "daughter" in all forms except the nominative and accusative singular contain the suffix -er: mothers, daughters, mothers, daughters, mothers, daughters.

The words "miracle", "sky" and "tree" in the plural acquire the suffix -es: wonders, heavens, trees.

The word “eye” in the plural contains the stem och-: eyes, eyes, eyes.
