Linking verbs
•
0 likes•100 views
Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to additional information about the subject. Common linking verbs include forms of be, seem, become, and feel. Linking verbs identify a relationship or existing condition rather than describing an action. Some verbs like appear, look, and sound can function as either linking verbs or action verbs depending on how they are used in a sentence.

Subject Verb Agreement
Subject and Verb Agreement
The subject of a sentence is the person or thing performing the action, while the verb expresses what the subject is doing. It is crucial that the subject and verb agree in number - singular subjects require singular verbs and plural subjects require plural verbs. Additionally, verbs like "is", "am", "are" change form depending on whether the subject is singular or plural. Maintaining subject-verb agreement is important for creating clear, understandable sentences.
Sgdgerund and infinitive_(teacher)[2]
Samantha granados delgado wrote a document about gerunds and infinitives for her class. The document defines a gerund as a verbal ending in "-ing" that functions as a noun and can occupy positions like subject, direct object, and object of a preposition. It provides examples of using the gerund with like, love, and enjoy to talk about habitual actions. It also discusses using the infinitive with like and love, and would like/prefer to for specific wishes or suggestions.
Sv tense agreement
Subject-verb agreement refers to the rule that subjects and verbs must agree in number - singular subjects require singular verbs and plural subjects require plural verbs. Common errors in subject-verb agreement occur when there are words between the subject and verb, when the verb precedes the subject, with indefinite pronouns, compound subjects, and who/which/that clauses. To check subject-verb agreement, identify the subject and verb and ensure they agree in number. Tenses must also agree within a sentence.
Comparison
This document discusses the rules for forming comparatives and superlatives in English. It explains that the comparative form uses "than" to compare two objects or people, while the superlative shows which thing has a quality above others. It provides spelling rules for forming comparatives and superlatives depending on the adjective's syllable length and ending. Irregular forms like "good/better/best" are also covered. The document concludes with other forms of comparison like "as," "not so/as," and "less/least."
Relative Clauses
Relative clauses are introduced by relative pronouns like who, which, that, whose or relative adverbs like where and when. There are two types of relative clauses: defining clauses that provide essential information about a noun and are not separated by commas, and non-defining clauses that provide extra information and are separated by commas. Defining clauses cannot omit the relative pronoun/adverb or use "that", while non-defining clauses cannot omit the relative word.
Relative Clauses0809
This document discusses different types of relative clauses, including defining and non-defining clauses. Defining clauses provide essential information to the meaning of the sentence, while non-defining clauses provide extra contextual information. The document also covers the different "linkers" or relative pronouns used to introduce relative clauses like who, which, that. It provides examples of defining and non-defining clauses and discusses when the relative pronoun can be omitted. Adverbial relative clauses introduced by words like when, where, why are also briefly covered.
Modals Lecture
Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs like can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would, and ought to that provide additional meaning to the main verb. They do not conjugate or require other auxiliary verbs. Modal verbs are categorized as single concept, double concept, or for expressing past tense. Single concept modals have one meaning while double concept modals have two meanings. For past tense, modals are used with have and the past participle form of the main verb, such as "it must have been a difficult decision."
Verb
A word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence, such as hear, become, happen.
From the Latin verbum meaning word, is a word (part of speech) that in syntax conveys an action (bring, read, walk, run, learn), an occurrence (happen, become), or a state of being (be, exist, stand).

GERUND AND INFINITIVE VERB
The gerund and infinitive are verb forms that can act as nouns. The gerund ends in "-ing" and the infinitive uses "to" before the verb. These forms are used after certain verbs, with the gerund more common as a subject. Their meaning can change depending on whether the gerund or infinitive is used. The infinitive follows adjectives while the gerund follows prepositions. Knowing the rules for forming the gerund and how each is used is important for grammar.

Comp I Section 33 Ppt
Pronouns have three cases - subjective, objective, and possessive. The subjective case is used when the pronoun is the subject or subject complement. The objective case is used when the pronoun is the direct or indirect object. The possessive case indicates ownership and is formed using an apostrophe. Who and whoever are used as subjects, while whom and whomever are used as objects. Pronoun case must agree with its use in compounds, elliptical constructions, and with the pronoun's antecedent for clear understanding.

Dependent & subordinate clauses
This document discusses different types of clauses in English sentences. An independent clause can stand alone as a complete thought and sentence, while a subordinate clause does not express a complete thought on its own and must be part of a larger sentence. Subordinate clauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions like "when", "because", and "before", and cannot stand alone as fragments without an independent clause. Determining if a clause is independent or subordinate can be tested by adding "I believe that..." before it - if it sounds like a complete sentence, it is independent, and if it sounds like a fragment, it is subordinate.

Verbs can express actions or states and come in several types including action, linking, and auxiliary verbs. Action verbs are either transitive or intransitive depending on whether they take a direct object, while linking verbs connect the subject to additional information about it.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
