A phrase is a group of words that does not contain both a subject and a verb. There are three main types of phrases: a noun phrase, which contains a noun, a verb phrase containing at least one verb, and an adjective or adverb phrase. Noun phrases and verb phrases are the building blocks of sentences, with examples given such as "The man captured the bird" containing a noun phrase and verb phrase, and "Ali ate an apple" with a verb phrase and another noun phrase.

Voice
The document discusses active and passive voice in sentences. It defines voice as the form of the verb that indicates whether the subject performs or receives the action. There are two types of voice: active and passive. In active voice, the subject performs the action, while in passive voice the subject receives the action. The document then provides rules for changing sentences from active to passive voice for different tenses, including changing the verb form and rearranging the subject and object.

active voice and passive
The document discusses active and passive voice in sentences. Active voice indicates that the subject of the verb performs the action, while passive voice indicates the subject receives the action. There are generally three rules for converting between active and passive voice: 1) make the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence, 2) use an appropriate auxiliary verb, and 3) make the main verb of the active sentence the past participle in the passive sentence. While active voice is usually preferred for being more direct, passive voice can be used when the performer of the action is unknown or less important than the recipient of the action.

Commas after introductory material
This document discusses the use of commas after introductory elements in sentences. It defines introductory words, phrases, and clauses and provides examples of each. The document also outlines rules for when to use a comma after introductory elements, such as after introductory clauses or phrases over five words, and when not to use a comma, such as after brief prepositional phrases under four words. The goal is to help determine proper comma usage after words or structures that begin a sentence.
Active and passive voice
The document discusses the key differences between active and passive voice in sentences. In passive voice, the object becomes the subject and the subject is mentioned using "by". The main verb is always the past participle form, and auxiliary verbs are used to indicate the tense. Examples are provided to illustrate active and passive transformations for different tenses including present, past, future, perfect, and continuous forms. Special cases like intransitive verbs are also mentioned.

Intonation refers to the quality of tone used when speaking, involving the amount of bass or treble. Pitch is the degree of highness or lowness of one's voice. Phonemes are the smallest units of sound, with vowels and consonants being the two main categories. Consonants are either voiced, with vocal cord vibration, or voiceless, without vibration, and examples are given of each.
Pronunciation
Intonation refers to the quality of tone used when speaking, affecting the amount of bass or treble in one's voice. Pitch is the degree of highness or lowness of one's speech. Sentence intonation changes based on whether a sentence is a statement or question, with statements having different intonation than questions. Phonetics are the smallest units of sound, with vowels and consonants being the two main categories. Consonants are classified as voiced or voiceless based on whether the vocal cords vibrate during pronunciation.

This document defines prepositions and discusses their types. Prepositions are words used before nouns or pronouns to indicate their relationship with other words. There are simple one-word prepositions and compound multi-word prepositions. Prepositions can also be categorized as prepositions of place, time, or direction depending on whether they indicate where something is, when something occurs, or where something is going. Examples are provided for each type of preposition.
Passive voice presentation
The document discusses the passive voice in English. It defines passive voice as sentences where the subject does not perform the action but receives it. Passive voice uses a transitive verb and has the structure of S + to be + past participle + by agent. Some sentences that cannot be changed to passive voice are nominal sentences that use forms of "to be" as the main verb, sentences with intransitive verbs that do not take objects, and sentences with certain transitive verbs like "lack", "fit", "suit", and "have" that cannot be made passive.
First Lecture of SIC
This document discusses different types of phrases and their functions in sentences. It defines phrases as groups of words that act as parts of speech but cannot stand alone as sentences. The main types of phrases discussed are noun phrases, verb phrases, adjective phrases, adverb phrases, and preposition phrases. It provides examples to illustrate the structure and function of each phrase type, such as serving as subjects, objects, or modifiers within sentences. It also discusses the roles that phrases can play, such as direct objects, indirect objects, and subject/object complements.
Syntax
1. The document discusses constituency and substitution in syntax. It defines constituents as strings of words that behave as a unit syntactically and semantically.
2. The document covers different types of movement in syntax, including topicalization, VP-preposing, and though-movement to the left, as well as heavy NP-shift and extraposition of subject clauses and from NPs to the right.
3. It also discusses substitution as a test for constituency, where a string can be replaced by a proform or another string, demonstrating that it is a constituent. Proforms can substitute for NPs, phrases, and even clauses.

L#5 sentences which cannot be changed into passive voice
The document discusses types of sentences that cannot be changed to the passive voice. It states that sentences in the present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, and future perfect continuous tenses cannot be changed. Additionally, sentences with intransitive verbs, which do not require an object, also cannot be changed to the passive voice as they have no object to become the subject. Examples of intransitive verbs like "laugh", "sleep", and "go" are provided to illustrate this.
Active and Passive voice (Differentiated activity)
The document discusses a lesson on verbs and their voices (active and passive). It begins by establishing learning objectives around identifying verb voices and rewriting sentences by changing the voice. Examples are provided to demonstrate active and passive voices. The rules for changing a sentence from active to passive voice are outlined. Groups are assigned activities like constructing example sentences or rewriting sentences in the opposite voice. The lesson checks for understanding before assigning practice problems to identify and rewrite verb voices.
Active and passive voice
This document discusses active and passive voice in English grammar. It defines active voice as when the subject performs the action of the sentence and passive voice as when the subject receives the action. It provides examples of sentences in both active and passive voice. It also discusses the different forms of passive voice according to tense (present, past, perfect, future) and their common uses in different text types like descriptions and narratives. It cautions that some sentences should not be changed to passive voice if it sounds unnatural. Overall, the document provides an overview of active and passive voice in English and how to identify and properly use the different forms of passive voice.
Verbals
This document discusses different types of verbals: gerunds, participles, and infinitives. Gerunds end in "-ing" and function as nouns. Participles also end in "-ing" or "-ed/-en" and function as adjectives. Infinitives are formed with "to" plus the base verb form and can function as adjectives, adverbs, or nouns. The document provides examples and rules for using each verbal form correctly based on its syntactic function in a sentence.
Active vs. passive voice
The document discusses the difference between active and passive voice and provides guidelines for proper usage. Active voice is preferred as it makes writing more concise and clarifies who is performing the action. Passive voice should be used when the subject performing the action is unknown or unimportant. The document provides examples of rewriting passive sentences in the active voice by making the subject the actor of the sentence and avoiding "to be" verbs.
