Aids to correct business writing 1
This document provides guidelines for choosing words when writing for business. It recommends using familiar, simple, short, strong, and specific words over unfamiliar, complex, long, weak, and vague words. Active voice and verbs are preferred over passive voice and nouns. Idioms should be used correctly and technical words cautiously. Saxon words are clearer than Latin-derived words. Appropriate synonyms and non-sexist language should be used. The goal is to make writing clear, concise and easily understood by the reader.
Project
The document provides tips for writing dictionary definitions, including finding examples of words used, determining parts of speech, exploring related words, writing descriptive definitions using familiar language, and having others review the definitions. Key steps are to examine how words function in examples, choose a specific sense to define, describe the word rather than using synonyms alone, and write in a typical dictionary style. Warnings include avoiding describing a word based on what it is not and circular definitions.
Learn English: Contractions
This document provides information about contractions for a 6th grade English class.

It generally includes greetings addressing the recipient, an introduction stating the purpose or reason for writing, a body with relevant details in 1-3 paragraphs, a conclusion indicating the letter is ending, and a closing like "Yours sincerely" or "Yours faithfully" when the recipient's name is known. Formal letters are commonly used for business communications to maintain a professional tone.
Modal verbs
Modal verbs behave differently from regular verbs in that they do not take "-s" in the third person, use "not" for negation rather than a form of "do", and many cannot be used in past or future tenses. Common modal verbs include can, could, may, might, must, will, would, ought to, shall, and should. Some expressions like had better, have to, and have got to are also treated similarly to modal verbs.

It is suitable for interactions with friends and family.
Group project style
This document provides tips for effective business writing. It discusses the importance of knowing your audience and tailoring your message to them. It also emphasizes the need for clear, precise writing and careful proofreading to avoid grammatical errors.

It recommends using gender-neutral language and matching the formality of one's superiors in workplace documents. The goal, it stresses, is clear communication tailored to the recipient.
Prepositions
Prepositions can perform various functions such as linking words or elements in a sentence or accompanying verbs and their complements. When using a verb after a preposition in English, the '-ing' form is commonly used rather than the infinitive. Different prepositions are used to refer to places, with "in" indicating being inside a place, "on" indicating being above or upon a surface, and "at" generally indicating being next to or beside something or referring to events happening at a location.
Ll upper pri using contextual clues

Common linking verbs are listed along with examples of their use with adjectives. An exception is noted that an adverb can precede an adjective following a linking verb.
Verb agreement prepositional phrases
When answering "Find the error" questions on the TOEFL, follow these steps:
1) Identify the subject and verb in the sentence.
2) Remove any prepositional phrases, as they provide extra information not relevant to subject-verb agreement.
3) Check that the subject and verb agree in number - a singular subject requires a singular verb and vice versa. Prepositional phrases can sometimes separate the subject and verb, so ignore these and focus on agreement between the stripped-down subject and verb.
First structures practice 1
This document contains 10 sentences that require analysis of their grammatical structures and identification of any errors. Participants are asked to discuss the basic structures in each sentence such as subjects, verbs, prepositional phrases, and appositives. For questions 7-10, participants must choose the correct answer to complete each sentence.
Verb tense use have and had correctly
The document discusses the proper use of the present perfect and past perfect verb tenses. The present perfect tense uses "have" or "has" with a past participle to refer to an action that began in the past and continues to the present without a specific time. The past perfect tense uses "had" with a past participle to refer to an action that occurred before another past action. It provides examples of each tense and notes they must be used correctly with other verb tenses, with the past perfect combining with a simple past tense and the present perfect with a simple present tense.
The passive introduction -
The document discusses the difference between active and passive voice in English sentences. In the active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action stated by the verb. In the passive voice, the subject receives the action instead of performing it. The passive voice uses a form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb. It also typically includes the phrase "by somebody/something" to indicate who or what is performing the action on the subject. Examples are provided to illustrate these characteristics of active and passive voice constructions.
Nouns countable -uncountable
This document provides a review of countable and uncountable nouns, which is an important concept tested in the Find the Error section of the TOEFL test. It explains that countable nouns can be counted using words like "a, an, many, few" while uncountable nouns use words like "much, little, less, amount." Examples are given demonstrating errors using the wrong quantity words with countable and uncountable nouns. The document stresses the importance of familiarizing yourself with these words to distinguish between countable and uncountable nouns.
Nouns don't confuse persons with things
This document provides examples of errors that can occur on TOEFL exams related to confusing nouns that refer to persons versus things. Specifically, it notes that in some examples the noun used should refer to a thing or career instead of a person. The examples shown are meant to illustrate this type of error, where the noun "authoritarian" should be "authority" referring to Ralph Nader as a person, "accountant" should be "accounting" referring to a career or field, and "nurse" should be "nursing" again referring to a career rather than an individual person. The document emphasizes to always check that the correct noun form, whether referring to a person or thing, is used.
Parallel structure with coordinate conjunctions
This document discusses parallel structures when using coordinate conjunctions like "and", "but", and "or". It explains that expressions joined by these conjunctions must be of the same type, such as two nouns, two adjectives, two verbs in the same tense, two phrases, or two clauses. Examples are provided to illustrate parallel structures joining different parts of speech and phrases. The importance of ensuring parallelism is emphasized to avoid errors when using coordinate conjunctions.
Other types of words make and do
This document provides examples to distinguish the uses of the words "make" and "do". It notes that "make" refers to creating, constructing, inventing or originating something. Examples given are making clothes, cakes, mistakes or responses. It states that "do" refers to completing, performing or engaging in some kind of act or activity, like doing dishes, assignments, work or laundry. The document advises TOEFL exam takers to carefully check uses of "make" and "do" in find the error questions.
Parallel comparatives
This document discusses parallel comparatives and provides examples. It explains that when using comparative adjectives in the same sentence, each phrase must begin with "the + comparative" and be separated by a comma. This structure is used to show proportionate increase or decrease between the two things being compared. Four examples are given that follow this pattern of "the + comparative" separated by a comma, such as "The older we grow, the wiser we become."
Adjective and adverbs
Adjectives describe nouns and usually precede the nouns they modify. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. When an adverb modifies a verb with an object, it should not be placed between the verb and object. Most adjectives precede the nouns they describe. The document provides examples of correct and incorrect placements of adverbs and adjectives in sentences.
English 100 error detection & correction for all exams by das sir(09038870684)
This document provides 65 tips for correcting sentences in English related to subject-verb agreement, uses of participles and infinitives, uses of verbs, uses of adjectives, and uses of adverbs. Some key points include: subject-verb agreement depends on whether the subjects are singular or plural; participles must have a subject of reference; certain verbs like advise are followed by an object and infinitive; adjectives show quantity, number, or degree; and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. The document aims to help with grammar corrections needed for exams.
Verb agreement inverted subject-verb
This document discusses verb agreement in sentences with inverted subject-verb order. It provides 5 situations where the subject and verb are inverted: 1) sentences beginning with a negative word, 2) sentences beginning with a place word, 3) direct questions, 4) conditional sentences beginning with "had", "were", or "should", and 5) comparative sentences using "than". It emphasizes that the verb and subject must agree in number and stresses common errors in questions with inverted subjects seen in the TOEFL exam.
Parallel comparatives
This document discusses parallel comparatives, which show proportionate increase or decrease between two things. Parallel comparatives follow the structure "the + comparative expression + subject + verb". They describe a cause-and-effect relationship where one action or quantity changes proportionally with another. Several examples are provided to illustrate this grammatical structure.
Parallel structure with comparisons
This document discusses parallel structures used when comparing two things. It notes that comparisons must use parallel structures like "-er than", "more than", "less than", "as...as", "the same...as", or "similar to". Examples are provided of sentences correctly using parallel structures to compare two things, such as comparing a school to another school or comparing the size of a car to a house. The document emphasizes that when finding things being compared in a sentence, their structures must be parallel.
Verb tense time expressions
This document provides guidance on using time expressions to determine the correct verb tense in a sentence. It explains that certain words or phrases that indicate when an action occurred, like "last week" or "by the time", are linked to specific verb tenses. The document then lists common time expressions and the verb tenses they correspond to, such as using the present tense with expressions like "every day" and the past tense with expressions like "yesterday". It concludes with examples that demonstrate how to match different verb tenses with time expressions.
Verb agreement expressions of quantity
1) When doing "Find the error" questions on verb agreement, identify the subject and verb, remove extra information like prepositional phrases, and check that the subject and verb agree in number.
2) Expressions of quantity like "all", "some", and "most" are usually followed by "of something", where "something" refers to the item being described. The object after "of" determines if the verb should be singular or plural.
3) Uncountable nouns always take a singular verb, while other nouns can be either singular or plural and take the corresponding verb. Pay attention to quantity words and what follows "of" to determine if the verb should be singular or plural.

It explains that idioms can boost a test taker's score if used correctly but may lower the score if misused. Common idioms like "over the moon", "once in a blue moon", and "a piece of cake" are provided as examples. The document advises test takers to only use idioms they are 100% familiar with in context and to practice using them with a native speaker to ensure proper usage. Simply memorizing idioms is not recommended as inappropriate usage may seem unnatural to examiners.

Formal and informal language2
The document discusses the differences between formal and informal language. Formal language is characterized by complex sentences, impersonality, learned vocabulary, and Latin-derived words. Informal language uses simpler grammar, personal evaluation, and colloquial or slang terms. Examples are given of formal versus informal letters, speech, and common word equivalents. Guidelines are provided for avoiding informal language when writing formally, such as not using contractions, first/second person pronouns, or starting sentences with conjunctions. Common colloquial words and expressions are also identified.

How to paraphrase effectively
This document provides guidance on effectively paraphrasing text. It discusses three main methods for paraphrasing: using different vocabulary while maintaining the same meaning, changing the order of words, and altering grammar. Specific examples are given to illustrate each technique. Mastering paraphrasing is important for English language exams like TOEFL and IELTS as it demonstrates comprehensive understanding. Regular practice of combining the various paraphrasing methods is recommended to improve skills.
What did you forget
This document provides tips for improving writing skills by avoiding common mistakes. It discusses 10 areas for improvement:
1) Using incomplete sentences occasionally for style, but not using them excessively.
2) Avoiding run-on sentences by using proper conjunctions and punctuation to join sentences.
3) Capitalizing the pronoun "I" at the beginning of sentences.
4) Avoiding informal language like text speak in formal writing.
5) Using quotation marks properly and citing sources to avoid plagiarism.
6) Being careful when using slang as readers may not understand.
7) Allowing time to proofread for errors in spelling and punctuation.

Everyone makes mistakes when writing English, but hopefully this lesson will teach you how to avoid making the basic errors.
Factors affecting english speaking skills
The document discusses factors that affect English speaking skills. It identifies 6 key factors: 1) listening comprehension, emphasizing the importance of listening without subtitles and practicing paraphrasing; 2) grammatical accuracy, with examples of common mistakes; 3) pronunciation, noting English is not phonetic and providing tips; 4) accent neutralization through studying vowel/consonant sounds; 5) vocabulary, explaining commonly misused words; and 6) providing answers appropriate to the questions asked. The document stresses the importance of mastering these various factors to be considered a good English speaker.
Words and Their Context
You have now explored in a practical way a number of different aspects of language and learning, including the difference between implicit and explicit knowledge of rules, rule discovery, the grammar of spoken and written English, phonology, and linguistic and communicative competence. I now want to turn to the significance of grammatical and communicative contexts for understanding words and grammatical structures. For example, in this unit you will study not only the grammar of the passive, but also the contexts in which it is used.
The unit begins with a look at what we can find out about a word in a dictionary and includes an activity to test your knowledge of grammar terminology. It finishes with a look at some of the reasons why words and patterns change over time and the question of what we consider to be 'correct' modern English.
Dictionaries can give teachers and learners an overall view of a word, with information about its many different aspects. So it's a good idea to get to enjoy using dictionaries. I'm therefore starting this unit with an activity to test your knowledge of what a dictionary can tell you about a word.
1. What information might a dictionary give about a word you look up (for example, its pronunciation)? Make a note of your ideas.
2. Now look up the word kneel in a dictionary and see what information is given. Summarize what you found.
Comment
1. Dictionaries can tell you about a word's:
pronunciation (including where the stress lies)
meaning(s)
word class(es)
different forms (for example past tense, plural)
usage
origin.
2. You could have found the following information about kneel:
how it is pronounced
that it is a verb
that it is intransitive (see below)
that it has alternative past tense forms: knelt or kneeled
that kneeled is used particularly in the United States
that kneel down is a phrasal verb
that it means fall or rest on the knees or a knee
that it comes from an old English word, cneowlian.
In a dictionary like Cobuild or The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, you will also find examples showing you how the word can be used: for example, He kneels beside the girl or Lottie knelt down to pray. We are also given the -ing form of the verb and an example: The kneeling figure was Mary Darling.
Transitive and intransitive verbs
A dictionary always tells you whether a verb is transitive or intransitive, that is, whether it can be followed by an object or not.
The verb 'lost' is transitive because we can put a noun after it. The verb yawned is intransitive because we can't put a noun after it.
Active and passive sentences
Sentences in English are either active or passive. Teachers of English need to understand the grammar of each of them and to be clear under what circumstances it is appropriate to use either the passive or the active. Let's start with the grammar.

Ma tesol e609 approaches to discourse analysis lecture 5
This document discusses discourse analysis tools and approaches. It introduces the "Doing and Not Just Saying Tool" which encourages analyzing what a speaker is trying to do with their language rather than just what they are saying. Several examples of utterances are provided and questions are asked about the purpose or function of each. The document also discusses direct and indirect speech acts, and how grammar can be viewed as a set of tools for building structures and meanings with language rather than just a way to convey concepts. Traditional views of language as a conveyor of ideas are criticized for ignoring context and performative aspects of communication.
Grammar
This document provides an overview of proper grammar rules, specifically around comma usage. It begins by stating that the idea of "proper English" is subjective, and the purpose of language is effective communication. It then explains that standard English is expected in academic settings. The document dedicates most of its length to explaining the six main rules for comma usage: 1) between two independent clauses joined by a conjunction, 2) after an introductory clause, 3) around dependent clauses in the middle of a sentence, 4) to separate items in a list, 5) to set off a quote, and 6) in dates. Examples are provided to illustrate each rule.

f) Show me the place where you put the keys.
Linguistic And Communicative Rules
We learned that native speakers have an implicit knowledge of grammar and that children acquire this without realizing it. I commented, however, that a language teacher needs to be able to describe grammatical rules, and in Unit 2 you noted some grammatical differences between spoken and written English. Unit 3 will introduce further grammar concepts and you will have the chance to assess your own explicit knowledge. Unit 2 also began to explore the area of what language we actually choose to use. This unit will continue the theme by looking at how we choose to speak in different situations and will show that this sort of knowledge is just as important for a language learner as grammatical knowledge.
Linguistic competence
The term 'linguistic competence' refers to a person's knowledge of grammar, lexis and sound patterns. As you now know, a native speaker easily acquires implicit knowledge of these aspects of language in childhood. Learners of a foreign language, on the other hand, struggle hard to acquire them. Choosing suitable grammar, words and sound patterns for the particular situation you are in is just as important and this is what the second half of this unit explores. First, though, we will investigate some grammar rules - that is, patterns of usage - and see how they might be useful to a learner of English.
Why do grammar activities like these?
As you carry out the activities on grammar in this unit, remember that it would be very unlikely for a teacher to tell learners everything at once about a particular grammatical item and expect them to apply it when communicating. What she can do is guide learners towards their own understanding about the limits that grammar sets in English - in other words the rules of English grammar. The activities in this section will give you an insight into how to discover and articulate these limits.
A teacher must be skilled at deducing the rules herself so that she can then foster this skill in her learners, who themselves need to develop the same skill if they are to become effective, independent learners. Without such strategies they'll be left to rely entirely on the trial and error methods of a child, and few learners have time to do it this way. So let's now look for some linguistic patterns in English.
Finding patterns: verbs
This section is about looking for boundaries and patterns in verbs. It isn't a comprehensive guide to verbs in the English language. I could have chosen any of the main word classes to investigate - for example, nouns, pronouns or adjectives. But the variety and complexity of the English verb offers you as good a chance as any to practice teasing out and describing some grammatical rules. Verbs also happen to be very central to everything that goes on in English and the explicit knowledge you gain from this section will be useful to you. We'll start with defining the word verb.

Pronouns possessive pronouns and adjectives
This document discusses possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns, which are important to understand for the TOEFL exam. It notes that possessive adjectives, such as "my", "your", and "their", always come before the noun they describe. Possessive pronouns, such as "mine", "yours", and "theirs", do not accompany nouns and are used alone. The key difference is that possessive adjectives go before nouns while possessive pronouns do not require a noun.
Pronouns subject - object
This document provides an overview of subject and object pronouns in English. It explains that pronouns are used to replace nouns, and lists the subject and object pronouns. The key difference is that subject pronouns can only be subjects of verbs, usually appearing before the verb, while object pronouns can only be objects of verbs or prepositions. Examples are given to illustrate errors using the wrong pronoun type as the subject or object.
Nouns irregular plurals
This document provides examples of irregular noun plurals in English. It notes that while most nouns form their plural by adding "s" or "es", some have irregular plurals that do not follow this pattern. These include nouns that change vowels like "man" to "men" or add suffixes like "child" to "children". The document includes a chart listing common irregular plural nouns and their forms. It also gives an example sentence using the irregular plural "criteria" to demonstrate subject-verb agreement.
Understanding passive active meanings
This document discusses the difference between active and passive voice in sentences. It notes that in active sentences, the subject performs the action of the verb, while in passive sentences, the subject receives the action of the verb. The verb in a passive sentence consists of a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. Examples are provided to illustrate active versus passive voice, including one incorrect sentence that should have used the passive voice. Readers are advised to check if the subject is performing or receiving the action of the verb to determine whether active or passive voice should be used.
Parallel structure with paired conjunctions
This document discusses parallel structures that must be used with paired conjunctions such as "both...and", "either...or", "neither...nor", and "not only...but also". When using these paired conjunctions, the structures immediately following each part of the pair must be equal grammatically. The document provides examples of sentences that do and do not maintain parallel structures after the paired conjunctions. It emphasizes that to determine whether parallel structure is used correctly, the structures after each word in the pair must be examined.
Verb tense be + present or past particple
This document discusses verb tenses using the verb "to be" followed by a present or past participle. It explains that "be + present participle" is used when the subject is performing the action of the verb, while "be + past participle" is used when the subject is not performing the action. Examples are provided of regular and irregular past participles. The conclusion reiterates that the key is determining whether the subject is actively doing or has completed the action to choose the correct participle.
Verb agreement after certain words
This document provides examples of words in English that always take a singular verb when functioning as the subject, such as anybody, everybody, nobody, somebody, each, anyone, everyone, no one, someone, anything, everything, nothing, and something. It notes that the verb must be in the singular form ending in "s" to agree with these singular subjects. Two examples are given demonstrating incorrect plural verbs and the corrections to singular verbs to show the proper subject-verb agreement. The document emphasizes to always check sentences with these words to ensure the connected verb is in the correct singular form.
Checklist for cause-effect essay
This checklist provides guidance for writing a cause and effect essay by outlining key elements to include such as introducing the topic and stating whether causes or effects will be discussed, using a three paragraph structure with one cause or effect addressed in each paragraph, employing transition words, checking for grammatical errors, restating the thesis in the conclusion, and summarizing causes or effects.
Checklist for paragraphs
This document provides a checklist for revising and editing paragraphs, including ensuring each paragraph has a clear topic sentence, supporting sentences with specific details that are logically organized and connected with transition words, and that sentences are complete without any run-on sentences or fragments. The checklist also notes that each paragraph should have a concluding sentence.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

Other types of words prepositions
- 1. Find the error TOEFL questions LEARNING SPACE TOPIC: Other types of words - prepositions One of the topics that could be covered in a TOEFL Test is the use of prepositions. Whereas prepositions can have either a literal meaning or an idiomatic meaning, it is the latter that is generally tested. Because there are so many prepositions and so many ways to use them in English, it is impossible to cover them here. But by paying attention to how they are used in written and spoken English, you will get more and more acquainted with the correct way to use them and when to use them. For the purpose of TOEL, you should be able to identify the incorrect use of prepositions and to know when a preposition is omitted from a sentence. ________________________________________________________________________ NOTE THE FOLLOWING INCORRECT PREPOSITIONS Look at these examples. 1. The game was called on because of the rain. 2. I knew I could count in you to do a good job. In the first example, it should be understood, based on the context, that the sentence is trying to say that the game was postponed. And you should know that the phrasal verb “called off” and not “called on” means “to postpone.” So, the preposition “on” is incorrect. It should be “off.” In the second example, you should understand that “count in you” is incorrect because it wants to say “depend on you” to do a good job. And the way to say that correctly is “count on you.” So, the preposition “in” is incorrect. OMITTED PREPOSITIONS Look at these examples. 1. Can you wait me after the game? 2. I plan attending the meeting. The first example should say, “wait on me” instead of “wait me.” It is missing the preposition “on.” The second example should say “plan on attending” instead of “plan attending.” So, you’ve got to be careful when analyzing the sentences to check for both incorrect prepositions and missing prepositions.
