12. Adverb
• An ADVERB can modify
a verb, an adjective,
another adverb, a phrase,
or a clause.
• An adverb indicates
manner, time, place,
cause, or degree and
answers questions such
as "how," "when,"
"where," or "how much".

13. Articles
• ARTICLES are the
way we introduce or
address a subject
• When words start
with a vowel letter
they receive “an” in
front of the word
• When words start
with a consonant
they receive “A” in
front of them

14. Articles Cont’d
• When talking about a GENERAL subject the
word will also receive “A” in front of it.
• If there is a SPECIFIC subject in particular
that is being spoken about, there will be
“THE” in front of the subject
• Example: Please pass a fruit to this end of
the table.
• This means the speaker would like any piece
of fruit passed to the side of the table where
they are sitting.

15. Just in Case…
• In case you were unclear about Articles,
here is another explanation and example.

16. Articles
• Articles can also depend on whether or not the
item is specifically being spoken about or
generally being spoken about.
• So, at the dinner table if you are as more “a”
apple, someone may hand you a bowl of apples
to choose from since there are so many.
• But, if you asked someone for “the” ketchup, you
will get the only bottle of ketchup on the table.
This is because you are referring to THE only
bottle of ketchup on the table.

17. A or An…

18. Articles- “The” or “A”
• “The” is used when referring to a specific
item, the item in particular to which you
may be pointing at or referring to
• Ex: “Would you please pass the ketchup?”
• “a” is used when referring to a general
item, not specifically one item, but the
bunch
• Ex: “Would you please pass a sea
cucumber?”

19. At a dinner party, how would you
ask for…
• Fork
• Lettuce
• Salt
• Pepper
• Pig guts
• Small child
• shoe

20. Pronoun

21. Pronoun
• A PRONOUN is what
replaces the noun of
a sentence with a
general term or
specific name.
• Without a pronoun,
writing and reading
would become and
long and repetitive
process.

22. Interjections

23. Interjection
• HEY! Pay attention
please,
• INTERJECTIONS
convey emotion to a
reader from a
sentence
• Words that act as a
surprise or some form
of immediate
disruption

24. Come up with a Sentence

25. Conjunction

26. Conjunction
• CONJUNCTION is used
to bring individual words
or phrases together as
well as independent
clauses
• An Independent Clause
is a sentence that can be
a sentence on its own
without another part
added on
• EX: Jim studied in the
Sweet Shop for his
chemistry quiz.

31. Preposition
• A PREPOSITION describes the space between
two objects or the time between two events.
Below are examples of different prepositional
phrases. Card 5 displays Time prepositions
and Card 14 displays Spatial Prepositions

32. Spatial Prepositions
• Prepositions can easily be remembered
as “what a rabbit can do to a log”
• A rabbit can sit “on” a log.
• A rabbit can stand “behind” a log.
• A rabbit can hide “under” a log.
• This same idea can be applied to events
in regards to the time they occur.

33. Time Prepositions
• A way of understand how time prepositions
work is by asking yourself, what you have
learned “since” you began viewing this
Powerpoint?
• Time prepositions can be also confused with
spatial prepositions as some are similar (but
not the same).
• “On” Friday, I will have dinner with a friend.
(time prepostion “on”)
• The rabbit sat on the log. (spatial preposition
“on”)
