Everyday English: Comparatives & Superlatives
This document provides rules for using comparative adjectives and adverbs to compare two or more things. For comparisons of two things, add "-er" for one-syllable adjectives, "-ier" for two-syllable adjectives ending in "y", and "more" or "less" for adjectives of two or more syllables. For comparisons of three or more things, add "-est" for one-syllable adjectives, "-iest" for two-syllable adjectives ending in "y", and "the most" or "the least" for adjectives of two or more syllables. Examples are given to demonstrate applying these rules.
This These
This document discusses demonstrative pronouns and their uses based on proximity to the speaker and number of nouns. It also covers comparative forms of adjectives and how they are formed based on the number of syllables in the adjective. Finally, it lists personal pronouns and their object forms.
Articles
Articles are words used to modify nouns and indicate whether the identity of the noun is known or unknown. There are three types of articles: definite (the), indefinite (a/an), and no article. The definite article is used when the identity of the noun is known. The indefinite article is used when the identity is unknown. No article is used with plural or non-count nouns used in a general sense. The rules for using articles depend on whether the noun is countable/singular, countable/plural, or non-count.
Conjunctions Presentation JTCC
Conjunctions are words that join sentences and clauses. There are three main types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions like "and", "but", and "or"; correlative conjunctions which always come in pairs like "not only...but also"; and subordinating conjunctions which introduce dependent clauses like "because" and "though". Conjunctions help vary sentence structure and smoothly connect ideas. It is important to use conjunctions appropriately - the meaning and flow of the sentence should not be contradicted by the conjunction used. Conjunctions are a useful tool for enhancing writing.
Punctuation Presentation JTCC
This document provides guidelines for using various punctuation marks correctly in writing, including quotation marks, commas, semicolons, colons, parentheses, brackets, and apostrophes. It explains that punctuation helps with organization, distinguishes speakers, indicates pauses or stops, and expresses emotion. Key rules are outlined, such as using quotation marks for direct quotes and titles, placing periods and commas inside quotation marks, and using semicolons to connect independent clauses or separate items in a list with internal commas.

The document provides examples of verbs and asks the reader to identify action and state of being verbs, then use some in short sentences.
Adjectives comparatives and superlatives
This document discusses the formation of comparative and superlative adjectives in English. It separates adjectives into three categories based on their syllable length: short one-syllable adjectives, long two-syllable adjectives, and adjectives with two or more syllables. For each category, it provides the rules for forming the comparative (-er or more) and superlative (-est or most) forms of adjectives. It also notes a few irregular adjectives like bad, good, far, and many that have unique comparative and superlative forms.
Sentence Structure
A simple sentence contains one independent clause with one subject and one verb. A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses joined with a coordinating conjunction or semicolon. A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause linked with a subordinating conjunction. A compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

It explains that the comparative form is used to compare two things and the superlative is used to compare three or more things. It then outlines three rules for forming the comparative and superlative of adjectives: 1) one-syllable adjectives typically add -er and -est, 2) two-syllable adjectives ending in y change the y to i and add -er and -est, and 3) adjectives of two syllables or more not ending in y add more and most in front of the positive form. There are also some irregular adjectives that do not follow these rules.
Fragments notes 2 powerpoint
There are two main ways to repair sentence fragments:
1. Attach the fragment to a nearby sentence. This can be done with subordinate clauses or phrases using coordinating conjunctions.
2. Add missing words to the fragment to make it a complete sentence. Lists, examples, and phrases beginning with coordinating conjunctions are often fragments and can be repaired by attaching them to a nearby sentence or adding connecting terms.
Clauses
The document defines and provides examples of different types of clauses:
- Main clauses are independent and can stand alone as a sentence, while subordinate clauses cannot stand alone and must be joined to a main clause.
- Coordinating clauses join two independent clauses of equal importance with conjunctions like "and" or "but".
- Subordinate clauses include noun clauses that act as nouns, relative clauses that provide additional information about a noun, and adverbial clauses that modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs by describing place, time, condition and more.
Character
This document describes different character traits and how to compare and describe them using adjectives. It lists character traits like confident, shy, hard-working, and lazy. It also explains how to form comparative and superlative adjectives for both short adjectives of one or two syllables and long adjectives of two or more syllables, as well as some irregular adjectives like good and bad. The document provides examples of forming comparatives like "kinder than" and superlatives like "the kindest".
Comparative adjectives
This document provides instruction on how to form comparative adjectives in English. It explains that for one-syllable adjectives, "-er" is usually added to form the comparative. For adjectives ending in "e", just add "r". Adjectives ending in "y" drop the "y" and add "ier". For adjectives with two or more syllables, "more" is used before the adjective. Irregular comparatives like "good/better" and "bad/worse" must be memorized. "Less" is used with adjectives without changing the form to indicate less of a quality. Examples are provided to illustrate each comparative formation rule.
Comparatives
This document discusses how to form comparatives in English. It explains that one-syllable adjectives and two-syllable adjectives ending in -y add -er to form comparatives. For longer adjectives, more is used instead of -er. Irregular comparatives like good and bad are also noted. Patterns with as...as and than are provided to compare things as equal or unequal. Several practice exercises with comparative forms are included.
Semicolon Cautions
The document discusses the proper use of semicolons, including connecting two complete sentences and using them with conjunctive adverbs. It notes that semicolons should connect two independent clauses but not two incomplete sentences. It also explains that conjunctive adverbs like "therefore" go with the second sentence, not the first, so the semicolon should come before the transition word. Common conjunctive adverbs like "however" and "moreover" are provided as examples.
Comparative adjectives
This document outlines rules for forming comparative adjectives in English. It discusses how one, two, and three+ syllable adjectives form comparatives by adding -er, replacing letters, or using "more". Specific rules are given for doubling consonants, dropping -e, and changing -y to -i. Exceptions that always take "more" include two syllable adjectives ending in -ed, -ing, -ful, or -less and all three+ syllable adjectives. The irregular comparatives of good, bad, and far are also noted. Comparatives are typically followed by "than" in comparisons.
Comparative adjectives (3)
This document provides rules for forming comparative adjectives in English. It explains that one-syllable adjectives typically take -er, two-syllable adjectives ending in -y take -ier while those ending in other suffixes take more, and adjectives with three or more syllables always take more.

What is a conjunction?
Coordinating Conjunctions These conjunctions are seven very common words. They are very small, made up of three or fewer letters.
When to Use Each Coordinating Conjunction:
Subordinate Conjunctions cont…. Subordinate conjunctions often begin a dependent clause. If the dependent clause begins or interrupts the sentence, then it is separated from the independent clause by a comma.
Correlative Conjunctions
Conjunctive Adverbs Conjunctive adverbs provide connections and transitions that clarify or limit the meaning of words.

Conjunctions (to use) 1
This document defines and provides examples of different types of conjunctions:
- Coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) join individual words, phrases, and independent clauses.
- Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses and indicate the relationship between clauses.
- Correlative conjunctions always appear in pairs to link equivalent sentence elements like "both...and", "either...or", etc.
Conditional sentences
The document discusses conditional tenses and conditional sentences. There are two types of conditional tenses: present conditional tense formed with would/should + infinitive, and perfect conditional tense formed with would/should + perfect infinitive. There are three types of conditional sentences. Type I uses present tense in if clause and future in main clause. Type II uses past tense in if clause and conditional tense in main clause. Type III uses past perfect in if clause and perfect conditional in main clause. The document concludes with exercises to practice the different conditional sentences.
Comparatives and superlatives + Modifying comparisons
1. Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things and are formed by adding "-er" to single-syllable adjectives or changing the ending to "-ier" for those ending in "-y". For adjectives of two or more syllables, "more" is used.
2. Superlative adjectives compare one item to a group and are formed by adding "the" and "-est" to single-syllable adjectives or changing the ending to "-iest" for those ending in "-y". For longer adjectives, "the most" is used.
3. Comparisons can be modified to show differences or similarities, and irregular adjectives have
Parallel comparatives
This document discusses parallel comparatives and provides examples. It explains that when using comparative adjectives in the same sentence, each phrase must begin with "the + comparative" and be separated by a comma. This structure is used to show proportionate increase or decrease between the two things being compared. Four examples are given that follow this pattern of "the + comparative" separated by a comma, such as "The older we grow, the wiser we become."
Comparatives
Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between two nouns and follow specific rules for changing their endings based on the number of syllables. For one syllable adjectives, -er is added. For one syllable words with CVC pattern, the last consonant is doubled before adding -er. Two syllable adjectives ending in -y change to -ier, while other two syllable adjectives do not change but use more/less before them. The grammar structure for comparisons uses a subject, verb to be, comparative adjective, than, and object.
Future continuous tense
The document discusses the future continuous tense in English. It provides the structure of the future continuous tense using "will" + "be" + the main verb with "-ing". It gives examples of affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences in the future continuous tense. It explains that the future continuous tense expresses an action that will be ongoing at a particular time in the future.
Simple future tense
The document discusses the simple future tense in English. It is formed using the modal auxiliary verb "will" plus the base form of the main verb. It is used to talk about events that have not been planned or decided on yet, such as predictions, spontaneous decisions, or statements with the verb "be". Examples are provided to illustrate its use for plans without prior intention, predictions about the future, and sentences where the main verb is "be", which can indicate a pre-existing plan.

1. Normal verbs which describe physical actions like "run" and "walk" and can be used in all tenses.
2. Non-continuous verbs which describe non-physical concepts like "want" and "need" and are rarely used in continuous tenses.
3. Mixed verbs which have multiple meanings, some behaving as non-continuous verbs and others as normal verbs, such as "appear", "feel", and "see". Mixed verbs can be confusing because their meaning and usage depends on context.
What is a noun
A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing or idea. Nouns can be proper or common, concrete or abstract, and countable or non-countable. Nouns can also be singular or plural and can show possession through the use of an apostrophe. There are many different types of nouns that function in sentences in various ways such as subjects, objects or modifiers.
Simple future
The document discusses the differences between using "will" and "be going to" to express future tense in English. While sometimes interchangeable, "will" often suggests a voluntary action or promise, while "be going to" expresses a plan. Both can also be used to make predictions when the subject has little control over the future. Some key uses and examples are provided to illustrate the differences.
Simple past tense
The document discusses the simple past tense in English. It explains that the simple past is used to talk about actions that were completed at a specific time in the past. Regular verbs are made past by adding "-ed" while irregular verbs have unique past forms. Examples are provided for forming simple past sentences using the verb "to be" and regular verbs like "to work" in affirmative, negative and interrogative statements. The simple past can also describe habitual or repeated past actions and events that occurred over a period of time but are now completed. An exercise with examples of correcting simple past verb forms in sentences is included.
Gradable and non
There are two types of adjectives: gradable and non-gradable. Gradable adjectives can vary in intensity and take grading adverbs like "very" or comparatives like "hotter." Non-gradable adjectives describe extremes, absolutes, or classifications that cannot vary, like "freezing" or "dead." While non-gradable adjectives usually cannot take grading adverbs, they can be used with non-grading adverbs to add emphasis, like "absolutely awful." Some adjectives can be both gradable and non-gradable depending on their meaning.

What are verbs
Verbs are the most important words in a sentence, as a single verb can form a complete one-word sentence. Verbs describe either the action that a subject performs, such as "run" or "fight", or the state of being of a subject, such as "be" or "seem". Verbs always have a subject that they are describing the action or state of. Additionally, verbs are unique in English in that they change form depending on tense, aspect, and subject number, with some verbs having up to five different forms like "to work, work, works, worked, working".
Verb classification
There are two broad classifications of verbs: helping verbs and main verbs. Helping verbs have no meaning on their own and are used grammatically with main verbs, of which there are only about 15 types. Main verbs have meaning on their own and communicate something, and there are thousands of different main verbs. Examples are provided of sentences using helping verbs and main verbs to demonstrate the difference.
Tag questions
Tag questions are statements followed by a short question at the end to request confirmation or agreement. They follow the structure of a positive statement with a negative tag or vice versa. The intonation and meaning can change depending on whether it is a real question or a statement. Answers to tag questions should reflect the true facts rather than simply agreeing with the question. Question tags are also sometimes used with imperatives for invitations or orders.
Simple present tense
The document discusses the simple present tense in English. It provides examples of how to form positive and negative sentences, as well as questions, using the auxiliary verbs "do" and "be". It notes three exceptions for the third person singular and the verb "to be". It then explains how the simple present tense is used to describe habitual or repeated actions that can occur in the past, present or future. Some examples are given to illustrate using the tense for general statements and situations that are currently true.
Simple past tense
The simple past tense is used to talk about completed actions or events in the past. It is formed using the past tense of the verb. For regular verbs, the past tense ends in "-ed", while irregular verbs have variable past forms. The simple past tense is used to describe both short and long duration past events, regardless of how far in the past they occurred. It is generally used when specifying the time or place of a past event. Examples are provided to illustrate its use in sentences.
Simple compound complex
The document defines and provides examples of simple, compound, and complex sentences to help English language learners improve their writing skills. Simple sentences contain a subject and verb, compound sentences join two independent clauses with coordinating conjunctions, and complex sentences contain an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. The examples illustrate the differences between the sentence types and emphasize using varied sentences to make writing more interesting.
Relative pronouns
Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses and relate to the word they modify. The five relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, and that. Who and whom are for people, whose is for possession, which is for things, and that can be used for both people and things. Relative pronouns can be used as subjects or objects and refer to singular or plural nouns regardless of gender.
Reflexive pronouns
Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence or clause and end in "-self" or "-selves". There are eight reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object are the same person or thing, such as "John saw himself in the mirror" or "My dog hurt itself". Reflexive pronouns can also function as intensive pronouns to emphasize the antecedent, like "I myself made it" or "She herself spoke to me".
Reciprocal pronouns
There are only two reciprocal pronouns in English: each other and one another. These pronouns are used when two or more subjects are performing the same action towards each other. For example, if John is talking to Mary and Mary is talking to John, we would say that they are talking to each other. Reciprocal pronouns require that there be two or more people, things, or groups involved in a mutual or reciprocal action.
Proper nouns
Proper nouns are special nouns used to name people, places, and organizations like John, Marie, London, France or Sony. Proper nouns have their own rules and are capitalized unlike common nouns which are not capitalized such as man, boy, woman, girl, country, town, company, shop, month, day of the week, book, and film. Examples of proper nouns include John, Mary, England, London, Ford, Sony, Maceys, McDonalds, January, Sunday, War & Peace, and Titanic.
