Differentiating between Demonstrative Pronouns and Demonstrative Adjectives. The four terms this, these, that and those are used to identify and indicate specific objects or people. These four terms can be used either as demonstrative adjectives or demonstrative pronouns. Although these terms are used for both demonstrative adjectives and demonstrative pronouns, there is a big difference between them based on their function and use. The main difference between demonstrative adjectives and demonstrative pronouns is that demonstrative adjectives modify a noun whereas demonstrative pronouns replace a noun.

Reflexive pronouns
The document discusses reflexive pronouns, which are used as the direct or indirect object of a verb when the object is the same as the subject. It provides a list of singular and plural reflexive pronouns like myself, yourself, and ourselves. Examples are given to illustrate how reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing, such as "John taught himself" or "Ann poured herself a drink."
English Idioms
An idiom is a commonly used expression that has a special meaning different from the literal meaning of the words. Some examples of English idioms included in the document are "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" meaning having something certain is better than taking a risk, "a blessing in disguise" meaning something good that isn't recognized at first, and "actions speak louder than words" meaning it is better to do something than just talk about it. The document provides explanations of over 30 common English idioms and their meanings.
Demonstratives
We use demonstrative pronouns and demonstrative adjectives to point out specific people, things, or places. Demonstrative pronouns include this, these, that, and those and change the verb to singular or plural form. Demonstrative adjectives also include this, these, that, and those and must agree in number with the noun they modify. Both demonstrative pronouns and adjectives are used to identify particular items.
Personal pronouns
The document defines and provides examples of different types of personal pronouns: subjective pronouns indicate the pronoun is acting as the subject, objective pronouns indicate the pronoun is acting as an object, possessive pronouns indicate possession, and reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject. It then provides activities for the reader to identify examples of each type of personal pronoun in sentences.

Prepositions
This document discusses different types of prepositions in English grammar. It defines prepositions as words used before nouns to indicate their relationship to other words in the sentence. Prepositions are divided into categories based on their use - of place, time and movement. They are also classified based on their structure as simple one-word prepositions, double prepositions that combine into one word, compound two-word prepositions, and participle prepositions formed from verb participles. Examples are provided for each type of preposition along with exercises for students to practice identifying and using different prepositions correctly.
Preposition and its types
Prepositions show the relationship between nouns or pronouns and other parts of a sentence. There are three main types of prepositions: place, time, and movement. Prepositions of place indicate location, such as "above" or "under." Prepositions of time specify when something occurs, like "at night" or "in the morning." Prepositions of movement show direction, for example "to school" or "into the river." The document provides examples of common prepositions for each category and explains how prepositions function in sentences.
Auxiliary verbs
An auxiliary verb is used to add functional or grammatical meaning to the main verb. Auxiliary verbs are function words that indicate things like tense, aspect, modality, voice, emphasis, etc. but do not have substantial meaning on their own. Common auxiliary verbs in English include be, do, have, will, can, may, must, shall, should, would, and others. Auxiliary verbs are used to form questions, negatives, passive voice, and different tenses like the present perfect.
Simile or metaphor

The present continuous is formed by combining the present form of the verb "to be" with the verb ending in "-ing".
Present, past and future tenses
The document discusses the present, past, and future tenses. The present tense uses the base or "simple" form of the verb to indicate an ongoing or habitual action. The past tense is usually formed by adding "-ed" to the base verb form and indicates completed action. The future tense can be formed using "will" plus the base verb form or "be going to" plus the base form to indicate actions that have yet to occur.
Interrogative Pronouns
This document defines and provides examples of different interrogative pronouns: who, whom, whose, what, and which. Who refers to people as a subject, whom refers to people or objects as an object.

Using this Guide
Before we get started, you should note that this guide is, in no way, a comprehensive exploration
of grammar and usage. Many guides are available that will provide a much richer and fuller
understanding of the components of language usage. Instead, this guide has been designed to
help you, in a quick and efficient way, avoid some of the more common errors people make in
their writing.
It is a good idea to review this entire guide several times until the information becomes second-
nature. Having a good grasp on the basic rules of grammar and usage will make a big difference
in how your writing will be received in your academic and professional careers. It may even help
your love life, but probably not really help you teach your dog how to say, “Fiddlesticks” (every
piece of writing has its limitations).

Parts of Speech
All words in the English language have a particular duty to perform in a sentence or clause.
These parts work in concert with one another to create meaning. We can look at the way words
work in a sentence by either their function or by their form or definition.
By Function:
1. Verbs: These words determine the action that is being related (all sentences/clauses must
do something).
2. Nouns and Pronouns: These words serve as the thing doing the action (subject), or the
thing having the action done to it (object).
3. Modifiers (Adjectives and Adverbs): These words describe another word to help
distinguish or clarify the meaning being related.
4. Prepositions: These words shows how one word or phrase relates to another
5. Articles: These words are connected to nouns and determine the vagueness of specificity
of the noun.
6. Conjunctions: These words join clauses together.
7. Interjections: These words serve to express strong emotion.
By Form or Definition:
1. Verb: An action word. For example: Speak, run, fight, asked, claimed, and rocked.
2. Noun: A part of speech that stands for a person, place, thing, or idea. For example:
Truck, house, loss, ring, air, and sandwich.
3. Pronoun: Takes the place of a noun. For example: I, he, she, we, i.
PART-OF-SPEECH_CCA.pptx
This document provides an overview of different parts of speech including nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, interjections, and prepositions. It defines each part of speech and provides examples. For nouns, it discusses types of nouns like proper vs common nouns, countable vs uncountable nouns, and plural nouns. For adjectives, it outlines descriptive, quantity, number, demonstrative, possessive, and interrogative adjectives. It also explains different types of adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions.
The parts of speech
The document discusses different parts of speech including abstract nouns, common nouns, gerunds, plural nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, pronouns, and proper nouns. It provides definitions and examples of each part of speech. For abstract nouns, it explains that they name intangible concepts rather than concrete objects. It also contrasts abstract and concrete nouns. The document aims to explain English grammar terms and how they are used in sentences.
Parts of speech
This document discusses parts of speech in English. It begins by defining what a part of speech is, which is a category assigned to words based on their syntactic functions. The main parts of speech in English are listed as noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. Each part of speech is then defined and examples are provided. Types of each part of speech are also defined, such as types of nouns including common nouns, proper nouns, concrete nouns, abstract nouns, and collective nouns. Classroom activities are suggested for teaching parts of speech as well.
Pronoun Agreement & Reference
This document discusses pronoun agreement and reference. It provides rules for pronoun usage:
1) A pronoun must agree in number with the word it replaces - singular pronouns refer to singular nouns and plural pronouns refer to plural nouns.
2) A pronoun must clearly refer to the word it replaces without ambiguity.
3) Indefinite pronouns like "everyone" and "-body" words are always singular. Collective nouns can be either singular or plural depending on whether the group is functioning as a unit or individually.
Pronouns
Pronouns are used in place of nouns to avoid repetition. There are several types of pronouns including personal pronouns that change form based on gender, number, and case; demonstrative pronouns like this and that; interrogative pronouns like who and what that are used to ask questions; relative pronouns like who and which that join two clauses; and indefinite pronouns like anyone and everything that refer to unspecified people or objects.

Morphological processes
Morphological processes involve the internal structure of words. There are two main types of morphological processes: [1] affixation, which involves adding prefixes or suffixes to free or bound morphemes, and [2] other word formations like compounding, reduplication, and clipping. Affixation can be inflectional, which changes word form without altering word class or meaning, or derivational, which alters word class or meaning. Some examples of morphological processes in English include adding -s for plural nouns, -ed for past tense verbs, and prefixes like un- or re- to change a word's meaning. Morphology is the study of these word formation rules and patterns.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
