It examines concepts like sentence structure, including simple, incomplete, minor, periodic, loose, complex, and compound sentences. Finally, it explores figures of speech and stylistic devices such as antithesis, cliche, colloquialism, euphemism, inversion, jargon, juxtaposition, motif, soliloquy, and symbol.
This document provides definitions and examples of common poetic devices and techniques used in poetry, including personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhyme, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, assonance, and consonance. It explains that poetry uses figurative language and creative word choices to convey meaning and share thoughts or messages from the writer to the reader. Understanding these techniques helps the reader better comprehend the poet's intended meaning and appreciation of the work. The document concludes by providing examples for students to practice identifying different types of figurative language.
This document defines and provides examples of six poetic devices: rhyme, simile, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia, and hyperbole. Rhyme involves words with similar ending sounds, simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two unlike things, and metaphor directly states one thing is another. Personification gives human qualities to non-living objects, onomatopoeia imitates sounds, and hyperbole greatly exaggerates to emphasize a point or mood. These devices help poets create rhythm, meaning, and feeling in poems.
This document defines and provides examples of several common poetic devices: rhyme, which uses similar sounding words at the end of lines; simile, which compares two unlike things using "like" or "as"; metaphor, which directly states one thing is another; personification, attributing human traits to non-human things; onomatopoeia, words that imitate sounds; hyperbole, exaggeration for effect; and anaphora, repeating words or phrases at the beginning. These devices can create rhythm, enhance meaning, and intensify moods in poetry.
1) Weak forms occur when commonly used words like prepositions, auxiliary verbs, and conjunctions are unstressed in connected speech. Their vowels shift towards a schwa sound.
2) Yod coalescence is a phenomenon where /j/ assimilates to a preceding /t/ or /d/ sound, like "but you" becoming "bətʃu".
3) Elision omits sounds like consonants between consonants and the /t/ in "not" before consonants, speeding up connected speech.
The document defines figures of speech as words or phrases used in a non-literal way. It then provides examples and definitions of several common figures of speech, including hyperbole which uses exaggeration, oxymoron which connects opposing ideas, simile which uses "like" or "as" to compare two unlike things, metaphor which compares without those words, and personification which attributes human traits to non-human things.
The document defines and provides examples of literary devices including repetition, rhyme, symbolism, metaphor, and imagery. It shows how the lyrics of the song "Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift utilize these devices through lines like "Just close your eyes" and "When all those shadows almost killed your light".

The document discusses several writing techniques including alliteration, simile, metaphor, personification, assonance, and onomatopoeia. It provides definitions and examples for each technique. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds, similes compare two unlike things, and metaphors are implicit comparisons. Personification gives human traits to non-human things, assonance repeats vowel sounds, and onomatopoeia mimics sounds with words. These techniques can be used in poems, stories, speeches and other writing.
Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings, like see and sea. Homonmys are words that are spelled and pronounced the same but have different meanings, like cold describing temperature, illness, or unfriendliness. The document provides examples of homophones like fair and fare and homonyms like glasses referring to drinking vessels or eyewear. It explains that homophones can lead to spelling errors while homonyms take on different parts of speech.
This document defines and provides examples of several poetic elements: simile, alliteration, personification, onomatopoeia, metaphor, repetition, and paradox. Simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two unlike things. Alliteration uses words that start with the same sound. Personification gives human traits to non-human things. Onomatopoeia are words that imitate sounds. Metaphor compares two things without "like" or "as". Repetition reuses the same words. Paradox seems impossible but makes sense upon reflection. Examples are given for each element to illustrate their usage in poetry.
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.
Poetry can follow a strict structure, or none at all, but many different types of poems use poetic devices. Poetic devices are tools that a poet can use to create rhythm, enhance a poem's meaning, or build up a mood or feeling. These devices help piece the poem together, much like a hammer and nails join planks of wood together. Some of these devices are used in literature for the sake of clarity, This ppt will clarify all your doubts about the same
This document defines and provides examples of various figures of speech including simile, metaphor, personification, apostrophe, hyperbole, euphemism, antithesis, epigram, oxymoron, irony, pun, metonymy, synecdoche, and onomatopoeia. A simile directly compares two things using "like", "as", or other connective. A metaphor compares two unlike things by stating one is the other. Personification attributes human traits to non-humans. Apostrophe addresses imaginary beings. Hyperbole exaggerates for effect. Euphemisms soften taboo topics. Antithesis contrasts opposites. Epigrams are brief, memorable statements. Oxymorons combine contradict
This document provides examples and definitions of literary devices including anaphora, metaphor, simile, and antithesis. It includes examples of each device, asks the reader to generate their own examples, and tests understanding of the differences between metaphor and simile. The document is intended to teach the reader about common literary devices through examples, exercises, and comparisons.
This song describes a woman watching a forest fire spread near the mountains where her brother lives. She drinks wine and watches the fire grow larger, calling out to her father in heaven. As the fire burns closer, she hopes her brother will survive but fears they will perish in the flames. In the final verse, with the forest now burning at night, she covers her eyes and hears people screaming, believing this fire will claim her brother's life and her own. The lyrics suggest she dies in the fire, burning alongside the trees.

It provides examples and definitions of each figure of speech. Similes compare two unlike objects using "like" or "as". Metaphors make comparisons without using "like" or "as". Personification gives human traits to non-human or inanimate objects. Hyperbole involves deliberate exaggeration. Oxymorons use contradictory terms. Anaphora repeats words or phrases at the beginning. Apostrophe directly addresses absent or non-existent people or things. These figures of speech enhance writing by presenting ideas beyond literal meanings.
This document defines and provides examples of various figures of speech including:
- Paradox: A seemingly contradictory statement that is actually true
- Metaphor: An implied comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as"
- Imagery: Descriptions that invoke the five senses
- Pun: A play on words involving double meanings
- Alliteration: Repetition of consonant sounds
- Oxymoron: A combination of contradictory terms
- Euphemism: Polite substitutions for unpleasant terms

- Simile: An explicit comparison using "like" or "as"
- Cliche: Overused expressions
This document defines and provides examples of various literary devices including simile, metaphor, personification, oxymoron, hyperbole, imagery, alliteration, assonance, and paradox. Simile compares two unlike things using like or as, metaphor makes a comparison without using like or as, personification gives human qualities to non-human things, and oxymoron uses contradictory terms together. Hyperbole exaggerates to emphasize a point, imagery appeals to senses to create mental pictures, and alliteration repeats initial consonant sounds. Assonance repeats vowel sounds, and paradox reveals something true that seems contradictory at first. These devices help authors construct meaning in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.
Examples of words grammatical differencesSteve Martin
This document provides examples of different parts of speech in the English language including nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, articles, prepositions, pronouns and examples of their grammatical uses such as in sentences. It also demonstrates homophones with different meanings based on their grammatical function like light/light and off/off.
This document defines and provides examples of three types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and correlative conjunctions. It explains that coordinating conjunctions connect independent clauses and lists the seven coordinating conjunctions. Subordinating conjunctions introduce subordinate clauses and provide examples. Correlative conjunctions always come in pairs and join equal elements; examples of common correlative conjunctions are provided. The document also provides examples of using each type of conjunction and tips for using correlative conjunctions correctly.
Conjunctions refer to words that join phrases, clauses or sections and express a logical semantic relationship between them. Substitution and ellipsis are used to achieve texture in a text, where substitution uses a substitute form for another language item, phrase or group, and ellipses involves omitting a noun, verb, or clause.
The document discusses conjunctions and causal relationships. It provides examples of sentences using "because" to explain the cause of an initial idea, such as "Mom was upset because I didn’t get a good grade on my exam" and "Gordon wasn’t at home because he didn’t answer the phone." Numbers are also listed with no other context provided.

This document provides instruction on identifying the correct conjunction to use in compound sentences. It defines conjunctions as words that connect words or groups of words and lists some common conjunctions: and, or, but, so. It explains that "and" is used to join words or phrases, "but" is used when things are in conflict or opposites, and "so" is used when one thing is the result of another. "Or" is used to express a choice between options. The objective is to identify the correct conjunction for 4 sentences on an exit ticket.
This document discusses the three main types of conjunctions - coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions. It provides examples of each type and explains their functions. Coordinating conjunctions join two independent clauses. Subordinating conjunctions join dependent and independent clauses and introduce the dependent clause. Correlative conjunctions work in pairs to join words or groups of equal weight.
This lesson plan aims to teach fourth year students about cause-effect relationships and conjunctions. It includes objectives, subject matter, procedures, and an evaluation. The procedures involve motivating students with questions, presenting conjunctions/connectives of cause and effect, discussing the relationships and examples, applying the knowledge through exercises, and evaluating with a writing assignment using conjunctive adverbs. Students are expected to be able to identify cause-effect relationships, use conjunctions to show them, and compose a paragraph using conjunctive adverbs.
This motivational activity provides a rebus puzzle and information about coordinating conjunctions. It begins with a rebus puzzle using pictures and words to convey a message. It then provides definitions and examples of coordinating conjunctions like and, or, but, so, yet, nor. Participants are asked to fill in blanks in sentences with the appropriate coordinating conjunction. This activity aims to motivate learning about grammar through a puzzle and interactive exercise.
This document presents a lesson on conjunctions by Brent Daigle, Ph.D. It defines a conjunction as a part of speech that connects words, sentences, phrases, or clauses. It then lists and provides examples of various conjunctions like and, but, or, because, either, neither, nor, yet, as well as example sentences demonstrating their use. The document aims to teach the different types of conjunctions and their functions in sentences.
The document discusses different types of conjunctions including coordinating conjunctions like and, but, or, yet, for, nor, so. It provides examples of how these conjunctions connect words, clauses, and sentences. It also discusses subordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and conjunctive adverbs and their functions in creating relationships between ideas.
This document discusses conjunctions and provides examples of how they are used to join words and sentences. It defines conjunctions as words that join or hook together groups of words and sentences. Specific conjunctions discussed include "and", "so", and "but". Examples are given that demonstrate how each conjunction is used to connect two ideas or sentences.
9. What is a subordinating conjunction?
Two simple sentences may be joined together by using subordinate
conjunctions.
Example :
when , as , because , if , that , although , where , while , as soon as
, so , that.
10. Example :
I found a ring as I was walking in the park.
I missed the flight because of the traffic jam
She did not return home until dark, keep on working while I am away
