Idiomatic expressions
This document discusses idiomatic expressions and provides examples. It defines idioms as expressions that cannot be understood by analyzing individual words alone and must be memorized as a whole phrase. Some key points:
- Idioms originate from literature, films, and quotations and knowing their background can help remember them.
- Examples of English idioms include "full of beans," "keep one's head above water," and "catch someone red-handed."
- The document provides a quiz to test understanding of idioms like "raining cats and dogs" and "pulling my leg."
- Idioms should be used appropriately and changing their grammar or words removes their intended meaning.
Connotation & Denotation
This document discusses interpreting the meanings of words through denotation and connotation.
Denotation refers to the literal or exact meaning of a word, while connotation refers to the implied or hidden meaning that gives a word more emotional impact. Connotations can be positive, negative, or neutral.
Tone refers to the author's attitude conveyed in their writing, while mood refers to the general atmosphere created. Both tone and mood are established through an author's word choices.
The document provides examples to distinguish between objective and subjective writing. Objective writing presents many points of view without bias, while subjective writing has been influenced by the perspective of the speaker or writer.
Denotation and Conotation
This document discusses denotation and connotation in words. It begins by defining denotation as the dictionary definition of a word, while connotation refers to the secondary meaning or feelings associated with a word. It provides many examples of word pairs where one word may have a more positive or negative connotation. The document encourages choosing words carefully based on their connotations and growing one's vocabulary. It concludes by summarizing that denotation is the definition, connotation is the emotional association, and to use words' power of connotation when choosing them.
Adverbs and its kind
Kenny thinks he is really cool. He modifies the verb "is" with the adverb "really" to emphasize how cool he thinks he is.
Pronoun antecedent agreement
This document discusses rules for pronoun agreement including:
- Pronouns must agree with their antecedent in number, person, and gender. A plural antecedent takes a plural pronoun and vice versa.
- Know the differences between singular and plural personal pronouns as well as feminine, masculine, and neuter pronouns.
- Do not confuse "it's" with "its" as "it's" is a contraction meaning "it is" or "it has" while "its" is a possessive pronoun.
- Two or more singular nouns joined by "and" become a plural antecedent taking a plural pronoun.
Prepositions and prepositional phrases
This document defines prepositions and provides examples of common prepositions and prepositional phrases. Prepositions indicate location in space, time, or possession and must have an object. Common prepositions include by, beside, between, near, under, over, inside, outside, above, below, behind, before, after, in, at, on, to, into, onto, through, of, and to. A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition followed by a noun, gerund, or clause. Examples of prepositional phrases are provided.

Direct and indirect objects
This document defines and provides examples of direct and indirect objects in sentences. A direct object answers the question "what?" or "whom?" and receives the action of the verb, while an indirect object answers "to whom?" or "for whom?" and indicates the recipient of the direct object. Several examples are given of sentences containing direct and/or indirect objects to illustrate these grammatical concepts.
subject and predicate
The document discusses the key elements of subjects and predicates in sentences. It defines a subject as the person or thing a sentence is about, and the predicate as what is said about the subject.

The document also gives examples of words that contain suffixes and exercises for identifying suffixes and their meanings in words.
Homographs
A homograph is a word that is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning or pronunciation. The meaning of a homograph depends on how and where it is used in a sentence. The document provides the example of the word "tear" which can mean to pull into pieces or a liquid from the eyes, demonstrating that homographs have the same spelling but different meanings depending on the context.
active and passive voice
The document discusses active and passive voice in sentences. It defines active and passive voice, provides examples of each, and outlines the steps to convert a sentence from active to passive voice and vice versa. The objectives are to define active and passive voices, differentiate between them, and convert sentences between the two voices.
Simile and metaphor
The document discusses different types of figures of speech used to compare two unlike things. It defines a simile as a comparison using like or as, and provides examples such as "her smile was like the sun." A metaphor directly states a comparison without like or as, for example "she is a rose." The document also discusses acrostic poems where the letters in a name are used to inspire descriptive words or phrases, and provides examples of acrostic poems for the names Troy and Ruth.
Complex sentence
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one dependent clause. A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete thought and must be attached to an independent clause. There are two patterns for writing complex sentences: pattern one uses a comma to separate the dependent clause, which comes first, from the independent clause. Pattern two does not use a comma, with the independent clause coming first followed by the dependent clause. Common words like although, before, and when can make a clause dependent.

Figurative Languages or Figures of Speech
A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is figurative language in the form of a single word or phrase. It can be a special repetition, arrangement or omission of words with literal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words.
In truth, there are a wealth of these literary tools in the English language. But, let's start out by exploring some of the most common figure of speech examples.
For example,
Synecdoche:
Synecdoche occurs when a part is represented by the whole or, conversely, the whole is represented by the part.
Examples include:
Wheels - a car
The police - one policeman
Plastic - credit cards
Figurative language is often associated with literature and with poetry in particular. Whether we're conscious of it or not, we use figures of speech every day in our own writing and conversations.
Figures of speech are also known as figures of rhetoric, figures of style, rhetorical figures, figurative language, and schemes.
A figure of speech is a use of a word that diverges from its normal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it such as a metaphor, simile, or personification. Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity.
Through the use of figures of speech, the author makes significant the insignificant, makes seem less important the overemphasized, brings colour and light, insight, understanding and clarity.
Figures of speech allow us to assess, interpret and critically analyze not only the writer's attempt, but also his or her purpose.

A figure of speech uses words in a non-literal way to add emphasis, freshness, or clarity. There are several types of figures of speech including similes, metaphors, personification, hyperbole, irony, oxymorons, alliteration, and onomatopoeia. Similes directly compare two things using like or as, metaphors make a comparison without using those words, and personification gives human qualities like emotions to objects or ideas. Hyperbole exaggerates or overstates for effect, while irony reveals a difference between expectations and reality. Oxymorons use contradictory terms, alliteration repeats initial consonant sounds, and onomatopoeia imitates natural sounds. Figures of speech make language

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
