This document summarizes a grammar lesson on subordinate clauses. It defines and provides examples of simple, compound, and complex sentences. It also defines and gives examples of different types of subordinate clauses, including nominal clauses, relative clauses, adverbial clauses, and comparative clauses. It discusses finite and non-finite clauses, and different functions of nominal, relative, adverbial, and comparative clauses.
all about preposition
A preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, or spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Some examples of prepositions are words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to." Prepositions in English are highly idiomatic.
There are five types of prepositions. They are simple, double, compound, participle, and phrase prepositions. A preposition is used to show a relationship between the noun, pronoun, or phrase in a sentence.

Adjectives have degrees of comparison. They are positive, comparative and superlative degrees. Most of the adjectives with one or two syllables take -er and -est to the positive form of adjective to form comparative and superlative. Adjectives having more than two syllables take more and most to the positive to form comparative and superlative. There are some rules of spelling which we need to remember while changing the positive into comparative and superlative.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.

After some time, …
4. CLASSES AS REGARDS FUNCTION

functions similar to N.PH.s. RELATIVE CLAUSES: postmodify N PH.s
ADVERBIAL CLAUSES: a range of functions
similar to ADV Ph.or P.P. as adverbials
COMPARATIVE CLAUSES :with more,less
or as and inflection –er function as
intensifiers.
5. FINITE, NON FINITE AND VERBLESS IN DET.
Non finite: a) -ing participle clause with
subject: I don´t have a dog barking all day.
B) –ing part. Witho. Subject: Barking all day
long, the dog was exhausted.

style of marching.
7. VERBLESS CLAUSES:
No cars there, the street was peaceful. (with
subject)
Although under subjection, streets
seemed peaceful.
8. FOUR CASES: NOMINAL, RELATIVE,
ADVERBIAL AND COMPARATIVE CLAUSES
NOMINAL CLAUSES:
FUNCTIONS:
**SUBJECT: That this is a good
environment, is for sure.
Working on your own is the best way of
living.
**COMPLEMENT OF A VERB: (d.o.):
He asked to be taken to the country.
9. (NOMINAL CL):
Other N.CLAUSES can function as:
**COMPLEMENT OF AN ADJECTIVE:
It is sure that her mother is safe.
(sure, prepared, surprised).
COMPLEMENT OF A PREPOSITION:
He promised to leave as soon as he could.
COMPLEMENT OF A NOUN: the fact, the
idea, the report that everything is fine.
10. RELATIVE CLAUSES.
They postmodify N.PHRASES.
They can be restrictive or non restrictive.
REDUCED RELATIVE CLAUSES: have a
non finite verb:
Most people wearing bright colours are
happier.
Most people, depressed by the notice, felt
quite down the weather.
11. FUNCTIONS OF ADVERBIAL CLAUSES
DISJUNCTS:
Style disjuncts: … if you know what I mean.
Content disjuncts: Broadly speaking…
ADJUNCTS:
…while singing loud songs.
…where we used to gather before.
12. FUNCTIONS OF COMPARATIVE CLAUSES
We use a comparative clause with a
preceding CORRELATIVE. (more, less, as)
With the preceding correlative, they function
as intensifiers:
He should drive more rapidly than others.
“MORE THAN OTHERS” modifies the
adverb rapidly and functions as intensifier.
**Less harm than it might be expected.
“LESS THAN IT M.B.E.”: intensifier of harm.
14. SUBORDINATE DECLARATIVE CLAUSES
FINITE subordinate declarative clauses:
They are introduced by “that” They function as: complement of a verb (“he
told me that”, with the pro clause “so”),
Compl. Of an adjective (sure that it is true)
Compl. Of a noun: idea, belief, concept that
it is true.
16. SUBORDINATE INTERROGATIVE CLAUSES
THREE TYPES:
YES/NO CLAUSES: If and weather.
I don´t know if you have studied the issue.
I asked whether they knew the issue.
ALTERNATIVE CLAUSES: whether /or
… whether they knew the issue or not.
WH CLAUSES: introduced by a wh word
(determiner, pronoun or adverb):
He asked Mary what would be the best thing
to do.
17. SOME DETAILS AS REGARDS INTERROGATIVE
CLAUSES:
IF/ WHETHER restrictions: If : more
restricted than w.:
Only whether: a) with a to-inf. clause b) as
complement of a preposition. (as to
whether they were gathered or not) c) only
whether followed by “or not”.
IF and WHETHER can be repeated in
alternative clauses, if they are in full.
18. SUBORDINATE EXCLAMATIVE CLAUSES
In this use, the clause is introduced by
HOW AND WHAT.
How and what are intensifiers.
He realised in amazement how much their
children loved each other.
(THE “loved each other”, and “how much “
they did it, is an intensifier. )
19. NOMINAL RELATIVE CLAUSES
OTHER NAMES: independent relaive clauses
or free relative clauses.
They resemble N. PHR.s.
Like N.Ph. They can take plural verbs.
They can have personal reference:
He speaks to whoever girl he encounters.
With plural verbs:
What he really wants to see, are girls in bikini.
20. OTHER CONCEPTIONS:
Some grammarians:
NOMINAL RELATIVE CLAUSE is a NOUN
PHRASE. (RATHER THAN A CLAUSE).
In this conception, it is a NOUN
PHRASE, and the head
(what, whatever, whoever) is a “fused
relative” and the rest of the clause: a
postmodifying relative clause.
He gave me what I needed. (head: what).
21. ADVERBIAL CLAUSES:
May be finite, non finite (to-inf/ bare inf, -ing,
-ed) and verbless.
FINITE ADVERBIAL CLAUSES: Generally
they have a subordinator: if /although, in
case, when. IF IT RAINS, I´LL GO
Exceptionally, in cases of invertion, subject –
operator inversion is used instead of the
subordinator. HAD IT RAINED, I WOULD
HAVE GONE.
22. NON FINITE CLAUSES WITHO. A SUBJECT
If the non finite or verbless clause does not
have a subject: it is understood that the
subject is identical with the subject of the
host clause.
If the understood subject is not identical, it is
said to be a dangling or unattached clause:
If under rain, the march would be terrible.
… about that illness. If severe, nerve cell
death may result.
23. VIOLATION OF IDENTIAL/SUBJECT RULE:
Generally: considered to be an error.
EXCEPTIONS:
Style disjunct: Broadly speaking, the items
were in good condition.
If the understood subj. Is you, we, one: It is
the same thing when turning the lights on.
If the understood subject is the whole host
clause: I would like it covered in red, if
possible.
24. ABSOLUTE CLAUSES
Adverbial participle clauses or advebial
verbless clauses
Not introduced by a subordinator
They have their own subject:
Winds having blown all night, the streed
seemed to be a disaster.
25. MEANINGS OF ADVERBIAL CLAUSES
PLACE CLAUSES
TEMPORAL CLAUSES.
CONDITIONAL CLAUSES.
(OPEN/HYPOTHETICAL)
CIRCUMSTANTIAL CLAUSES.
CONCESSIVE CLAUSES.
REASON/PURPOSE/ RESULT CLAUSES.
MANNER CLAUSES
PROPORTION AND SIMILARITY CLAUSES
26. PLACE AND TEMPORAL CLAUSES
Place clauses: may refer to POSITION:
He will sit wherever he wants.
MAY REFER TO DIRECTION:
He was going TOWARDS N.Y. CITY.
Temporal clauses: The host clause may occur
before, at the same time or at a later time than
that of the temporal clause:
After drinking some water he felt better.
Before walking so long distance, his leg was
not so bad.
27. CONDITIONAL CLAUSES.
They exhibit a parallel with subordinate
interrogative clauses:
Both : information is missing. For cond.
clauses, the missing info is about the fulfilment
of the condition.
The distinction of the three types of
interrogative clauses (y/n, alternative or wh)
are analogous to those in conditional clauses.
If and whether are used as subordinators.
Rhetorical quest. aralleled by rhetorical
conditions. If anybody knows more, I´m dead.
28. DIRECT AND INDIRECT CONDITION.
THERE IS A POSSIBLE TRUTH OF THE
HOST CLAUSE: APODOSIS.
AND THE FULFILMENT OF THE
CONDITION IN THE CONDITIONAL
CLAUSE (IF CLAUSE): PROTASIS.
Direct conditional clauses: indicate that the
truth of the host clause depends on the
fulfilment of the if clause (apodosis depends
on protasis)
29. INDIRECT CONDITIONS:
They are “speech acts”.”
“… if you know what I mean.”
Apodosis do not depend on protasis.
30. DIRECT CONDITIONS: OPEN AND
HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS:
OPEN CONDITIONS: They leave
completely open whether the condition will
be fulfilled.
The speaker does not indicate if he believes
the condition has been fulfilled.
HYPOTHETICAL conditions: The
hypothetical cond. Will be conveyed through
verb forms backshifted. They express the
idea that the condition has not been fulfilled.
31. EXAMPLES OF HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
-- with idea of “present”:
I´d be happy if I could pass this exam.
-- with idea of “past”:
I would have been happy if my mother had
visited me.
(the condition has not been fulfilled, or is not
fulfilled).
The subjunctive WERE is used sometimes:
I would be happy if I WERE you.
32. SUBJECT/OPERATOR INVERSION IN
CONDITIONAL CLAUSES
Cond.
Clauses may have subject
operator inversion without a
subordinator.
Auxiliaries: had, were or should
HAD HE WON the prize, he would be
happy now.
33. CONDITIONAL SUBORDINATORS
If I were you…
Unless it is true…
Provided that…
If only it was true…
Should it rain, …
34. CIRCUMSTANTIAL AND CONCESSIVE CLAUSES
Circumstantial cl: express a general idea of
place or time: … whenever he wants//
Concessive: THERE IS A HOST CLAUSE/
AND A CONCESSIVE CLAUSE.
The situation in the host cl. Is unexpected in
view of what is said in the concessive clause.
Although it started as a bright sunny day,
it rained heavily afterwards.
35. REASON/ CAUSE ADVERBIAL CLAUSES
Reason clauses: express notions as reason
and cause
There is a host clause and a reason clause.
Sometimes the reason clause is a speech
act.
… since you are a dumb.
36. PURPOSE CLAUSE
May be FINITE AND NON FINITE.
Finite purpose clause: They take a modal
auxiliary: they refer to an event that has yet
to take place: “… since one person can go to
the front…”
Infinitival (non finite) purpose clause: They
are more frequent. / To-infinitive clauses
witho. A subordinator/ in order to, so as to.
37. RESULT CLAUSE
There is a host clause and a result clause.
He studied quickly, so that he was able to be
on time.
You never speak aloud, so I do not hear
you.
They refer to a situation that is or was in
effect.
38. MANNER CLAUSE
Manner clauses refer to the manner of the
action expressed by the verb.
Though treated here for convenience, they
are also COMPLEMENTS OF THE VERB.
They do AS THEY ARE INSTRUCTED.
You go on, AS IF YOU HAD NOT HEARED
ANYTHING.
(as, as if, as though)
39. PROPORTION AND SIMILARITY CLAUSES
Both prop. and similarity cl. Involve kinds of
comparison.
The thinner the girl, the better she looks.
The in proportion clauses is not a definitive
article: it comes from OLD ENGLISH of the
instrumental case THY of the demonstrative
pronoun : “by that the faster, by that the
better” and it is similar to “so”.
40. OTHER DETAILS AS REGARDS PROPORTION
AND SIMILARITY CLAUSES
Reduced case: The simpler, the better.
Similarity clauses resemble the second type
of proportion clause in form:
JUST AS our fortune reduced, so our
possibilities to afford his studies died.
It means that something happens in the
same proportion of another process.
