The document defines active and passive voice and provides examples. The active voice uses direct action verbs and puts the subject at the front doing the acting. The passive voice uses "to be" forms and emphasizes what was done rather than who did it. Active voice creates shorter, more direct and forceful sentences with greater clarity. While active voice is preferable, too much can become unreadable, so balancing the two voices is important. The passive voice can be used when the actor is unknown or to focus on the receiver of the action.

Figurative language
This document defines and provides examples of various types of figurative language, including irony, presuppositions, metonymy, metaphor, and simile. It explains that figurative language involves using words with meanings different from their literal definitions. Context is important for understanding intended figurative meanings. Examples are provided for each type of figurative language to illustrate their definitions. The document concludes with practice problems asking readers to identify vehicles and types of figurative language in given sentences.
Tobe
The document discusses the verb "to be" and provides examples of its common uses and functions in sentences. It serves to connect the subject with an adjective, noun, or phrase to identify or describe the subject. Sentences using the verb "to be" typically have a three-part structure with the subject, verb "to be", and a complement or adverbial phrase. However, the document warns that overusing the verb "to be" can weaken writing, and recommends reviewing one's own writing to identify instances of it that could be replaced with stronger verbs.
Determining Theme
The document discusses how to determine the theme of a text. The theme is what the text tries to communicate and may be debatable. To convince readers of your theme, you must prove your authority by providing evidence from the text. For example, after deciding T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland" has a theme of destruction, you would cite evidence like the repetition of "burning" in "The Fire Sermon," which implies destruction. The evidence should occur throughout the text to strongly support the proposed theme.
Passive voice-1st-3rd-person
The document discusses passive and active voice. It defines passive voice as emphasizing the recipient of the action rather than the subject performing the action. While not grammatically wrong, passive voice is considered inferior stylistically according to the APA style manual. The document provides examples of active and passive voice constructions and recommends using active voice whenever possible. It also notes some instances when passive voice may be preferable, such as to avoid assigning blame.
Direct reported speech (tugas ibu defie) by widiya 4 sa02
The document discusses the differences between direct and indirect (reported) speech. It provides examples of how to report what someone said in both direct and indirect ways.

Complements 8
This document defines and provides examples of different types of complements in sentences: predicate nominatives, predicate adjectives, direct objects, and indirect objects. It explains that predicate nominatives are nouns or pronouns that identify or explain the subject and follow a linking verb. Direct objects receive or show the result of an action verb and answer "what" or "whom". Indirect objects indicate "to whom" or "for whom" and precede the direct object after an action verb.

Adjective clause with whom
This document discusses the proper uses of the words "who" and "whom" in adjective clauses. It provides three rules: 1) "whom" is only used as an object while "who" can be a subject or object, 2) "whom" is generally used immediately after a preposition while "who" can be an object of a verb or preposition, and 3) in non-defining relative clauses either "who" or "whom" should be used but not in defining relative clauses where the pronoun can be left out.
Grade 4, unit 1, week 1, mini lesson 10
This document provides the objectives, instructions, and activities for a 15-20 minute Grade 4 mini-lesson on using context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words. The lesson teaches students to use context clues in a text, consult reference sources to find precise definitions, and practice identifying context clues and defining words using their reading book.
Complete Sentence
The document discusses what makes a complete sentence and provides examples of subjects and verbs. A complete sentence requires a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. Subjects are usually nouns or pronouns, while verbs express actions or states of being. There are some exceptions, such as sentences beginning with "there" where the subject comes after the verb, and imperative or command sentences where the subject is implied as "you".
Understanding passive active meanings
This document discusses the difference between active and passive voice in sentences. It notes that in active sentences, the subject performs the action of the verb, while in passive sentences, the subject receives the action of the verb. The verb in a passive sentence consists of a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. Examples are provided to illustrate active versus passive voice, including one incorrect sentence that should have used the passive voice. Readers are advised to check if the subject is performing or receiving the action of the verb to determine whether active or passive voice should be used.
Subject & Predicate
Every sentence has two parts: the subject, which names the person or thing being spoken about, and the predicate, which tells something about the subject. While the subject usually comes first, it can occasionally come after the predicate. In imperative sentences, the subject is left out but understood to be "you". A sentence needs both a subject to speak about and a predicate to say something about that subject.
Unit 9 Volunteer Indirect or Reported Speech in Present Tense
She volunteers to summarize a document about indirect speech in the present tense. The document defines reported speech as also being called indirect speech. When using reported speech about something said in the past, the tenses change to reflect the past timing of the original statement. However, reported speech can also maintain the same tense as the original statement if talking about something said around the current moment by changing pronouns and verbs to agree with the subject. Place pronouns can also be changed, such as "here" becoming "there". The document provides an example of direct speech becoming indirect speech in the present tense by reporting "I have chickenpox" as "She says (that) she has chickenpox".
Semantics iv proposition and presupposition
This document summarizes key concepts about propositions and presuppositions from semantics. It defines propositions as statements that can be evaluated as true or false based on certain truth conditions. Even propositions that are not factually true can still be meaningful if they have identifiable truth conditions. Presuppositions refer to implicit assumptions in utterances about shared background knowledge between speakers. The example given presupposes the reader's familiarity with daily COVID-19 briefings from the White House. Analyzing presuppositions provides insights into implicature and how speakers communicate beyond just the literal meaning of words.
Youssef_assignment
The document provides speaking assignment instructions for a presentation on literary terms from the novel "Great Expectations". Students are asked to:
1) Choose a literary term or technique from a provided website and find an example extract from "Great Expectations" that illustrates it.
2) Design a PowerPoint presentation with three slides - one to present and explain the term, one with the extract and citation, and one explaining how the extract illustrates the technique.
3) The example focuses on using the metaphor technique, providing definitions and examples, and analyzing a metaphorical extract from chapter 2 of "Great Expectations".
Exposition:Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the clause and are used when the subject and object are the same. Some examples of reflexive pronouns in English include myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves and themselves. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object are the same, as the object of a preposition if the object refers back to the subject, or for emphasis as intensive pronouns. The document then provides tables of personal and reflexive pronouns and examples of their use.
Reporting the past
The document discusses how to structure reports about past events using reporting verbs and clauses. It notes that reports typically use past tense verbs in both the reporting clause and reported clause. However, present tense can be used in the reported clause to emphasize ongoing relevance or make suggestions. The reporting verb tense depends on when the reporting is occurring. Direct speech in narratives is simply included without reporting verbs.
Joseph
Clauses can be independent or dependent. Independent clauses can stand alone as a complete sentence, containing at least a subject and verb. Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as they do not express a complete thought, but function like phrases and are introduced by words like who, that, so that. Dependent clauses contain a subject and verb but require an independent clause to complete the meaning.
Interjections
Interjections are words or short phrases used in speech to express emotion or command attention. They are often found at the beginning of sentences and followed by an exclamation mark. Examples of interjections include er, um, which are hesitation devices people use when thinking. Interjections are usually set off by commas when within a sentence. Used sparingly, interjections can enhance speech or writing but should not be overused as that can make the style immature.
Active voice
The document discusses the active and passive voice in sentences and provides examples of how to change sentences from active to passive voice across various tenses in English, including the present, past, future, continuous, and perfect tenses. The basic rules for changing to passive voice are to make the direct object or goal of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence, and use some form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. For example, an active voice sentence like "The mechanic fixed the car" would become "The car was fixed by the mechanic" in the passive voice.

Reading Strategies
The document discusses important reading skills such as previewing, skimming, and scanning a text. It also covers strategies for determining the meaning of unknown words using context clues like synonyms, antonyms, examples, explanations and situations. The document distinguishes between the denotation and connotation of words and how connotation involves the feelings and associations connected to a word.
Commas
This document discusses the different uses of commas, including separating items in a list, adding extra information in a sentence through embedded phrases or clauses, preceding coordinating conjunctions that join independent clauses, following introductory words, separating two adjectives that modify the same noun, separating spoken and unspoken words, and separating spoken words from the person addressed. It provides examples for each use case.
Active Voice
1. The active voice is when the subject performs the action of the sentence, while the passive voice is when the subject receives the action.
2. Active verbs convey more action and interest than passive verbs.
3. In general, the active voice is stronger, more direct, and clearer than the passive voice, though passive can be used effectively in some cases.
Active and passive voice
This document discusses the differences between active and passive voice and provides guidance on when to use each.

Innovation Management Frameworks: Your Guide to Creativity & Innovation
Active and passive voice ppt
- 1. Definition Active Voice just naturally go with writing that is in the active voice. When you put the subject front and center, doing something, you will probably find yourself using stronger, more interesting verbs. Uses direct action verbs.
- 2. Definition Passive Voice Uses “to be” verb forms. Emphasizes what was found, not who did the finding. Can be pedantic and wordy in the hands of amateurs.
- 3. A sentence is in the active voice when the subject does the acting instead of being the recipient of the acting. Examples : Active: Lowell depicts a grim view of marriage. Passive: Marriage is depicted as grim by Lowell.
- 4. A verb that conveys action—as opposed to a verb that merely links the subject to a thought. Example : Active: Jim tossed the report away. Linking: Jim was tired of the report.
- 5. Shorter, more direct More forceful Greater clarity (The reader knows immediately who is doing what.) Sharper imagery
- 6. Stay away from the hot wire. It can kill you. The hot wire should be avoided. You can be killed by it
- 7. Jon Franklin says that if you try to write entirely in the active voice, you are likely to produce something unreadable. He’s right. The active voice is great, but you can have too much of a good thing.
- 8. When the actor is unknown or unimportant. The knife was found beside the body. Or when you want to focus on the receiver of the action more than on the actor. The teacher was fired for his political activism.
- 9. When you want to achieve a particular effect—whether it be wry, sardonic, sarcastic or comedic.
- 10. Use active voice whenever possible. You need to know when to use one voice or the other, and when to use them together.
