Introduction
Welcome, dear students. 😎
Many people are on social media, maybe on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, or others, or maybe on many of them at the same time. They usually spend lots of time scrolling without any sense. This behavior provokes negative effects on people, mostly when it becomes an everyday activity, those could be mainly directed to mental health, among those are: distraction, unrealistic views of the world, or sleep disruption.
On the other hand, when learning a language we usually forget many things, that is why, in this lesson, we are going to reflect on the negative effects of social media and a quite important grammatical aspect, which is kind of nous.
Let's dive into it. 💥🤨📵😉💥

Conclusion
Great job, guys. 😎🙌
Now, you have fresh information about social media's negative effects and types on nouns. We have killed two birds with one stone. 😵
As we already know, social media may change our behavior, that is why is very important to reflect deeply on it.
Nouns are presented in our everyday, in everything we make, learning about them makes your learning process less exhausted and this is a nice way to learn new vocabulary.
I hope you keep thinking about social media's negative effects and how nouns are used.
