Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with prepositions that can change the meaning of the verb. Some phrasal verb meanings are predictable while others are not. Phrasal verbs are categorized as having no object, or having an object that is either separable or inseparable. Separable phrasal verbs allow the verb and preposition to be separated when used with a noun object but require the pronoun object between them. Inseparable phrasal verbs never separate the verb and preposition.

Clauses
A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb. There are two main types of clauses: independent clauses and dependent clauses. Independent clauses can stand alone as a complete sentence, while dependent clauses cannot because they do not express a complete thought on their own. Dependent clauses include adjective clauses, adverb clauses, and noun clauses.

Conjunctions
This document defines and provides examples of different types of conjunctions and their functions. It discusses coordinating conjunctions such as "and", "but", and "or" which join elements of equal weight. Correlative conjunctions like "both...and" and "either...or" also join elements of equal weight. Subordinating conjunctions such as "although", "because", and "when" join two clauses by making one subordinate to the other. Finally, conjunctive adverbs like "moreover", "however", and "therefore" connect independent clauses and indicate comparisons, contrasts and other relationships between the clauses.
C3.l2 Subject Pronouns
This document discusses subject and predicate pronouns. It lists the subject pronouns as I, you, he, she, it, we and they. A subject pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence or a predicate pronoun after a linking verb. Examples are given of sentences using subject pronouns like "they" and "we". The document also discusses predicate pronouns, which follow a linking verb, and provides examples of sentences using predicate pronouns like "he", "she" and "you".
Grammar review 4 e4 21 11-2017
This document provides information on several English grammar topics:
- Compound subjects which are two or more subjects joined by a conjunction and require a plural verb.
- Singular and plural subjects and their verb agreement.
- The use of reflexive pronouns which refer back to the subject of the sentence or are used for emphasis.
- A list of reflexive pronouns and examples of their use as objects of prepositions.
- Brief explanations of relative pronouns.
Clauses
The document defines and provides examples of different types of clauses:
- Main clauses are independent and can stand alone as a sentence, while subordinate clauses cannot stand alone and must be joined to a main clause.
- Coordinating clauses join two independent clauses of equal importance with conjunctions like "and" or "but".
- Subordinate clauses include noun clauses that act as nouns, relative clauses that provide additional information about a noun, and adverbial clauses that modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs by describing place, time, condition and more.
Multiword verbs
Multiword verbs consist of a verb and one or two particles or prepositions. There are three types: phrasal verbs which are verb+adverb, prepositional verbs which are verb+preposition, and phrasal-prepositional verbs which are verb+adverb+preposition. Phrasal verbs can be transitive or intransitive and separable phrasal verbs allow separation of the verb and particle when used with a direct object but not with pronouns. Prepositional and phrasal-prepositional verbs are always used with a direct object and cannot be separated.
Commas with Clauses and Phrases
The document discusses the differences between clauses and phrases, and how commas are used to separate them. A clause contains a subject and verb, while a phrase does not. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, while a dependent clause cannot and usually begins with a marker word like "while" or "because". Commas are used to separate clauses and phrases in sentences.

Inroduction to phrasal verbs
This document introduces phrasal verbs, which are verbs combined with particles that often change the verb's meaning. It discusses the difference between particles and prepositions, and provides examples of transitive and intransitive phrasal verbs. The document also cautions that phrasal verbs can have different meanings depending on whether they are used transitively or intransitively. Practice examples are provided for readers to use target phrasal verbs in sentences.
Conjunctions
This document discusses different types of conjunctions in English language. There are three main types: coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and correlative conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions join grammatically similar parts of a sentence, such as words, phrases, or independent clauses. Common coordinating conjunctions include and, but, or, nor, and for. Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses and indicate the relationship between the dependent and independent clauses. Frequent subordinating conjunctions are after, although, because, before, how, once, since, and than. Correlative conjunctions always come in pairs and link balanced words, phrases, or clauses, such as both, and, either,
Prepositions
Prepositions show position, direction, and time and are usually used before nouns or pronouns. Examples are provided such as "Where are you going on Friday?" and "We are going to Karen's house." Practice questions are also included asking to fill in blanks with appropriate prepositions like "from", "for", and "by."
Page 5 grammar presentation
This document provides grammar explanations about using forms of the verb "to be" in simple present tense. It discusses using "am" with "I", "is" with he/she/it and singular subjects, and "are" with we/you/they and plural subjects. It also covers forming contractions between pronouns and "am", "is", or "are", such as "I'm" and "she's", but not if the preceding word ends in certain letters. Examples are given to illustrate each rule.
4 phrasal verb types
The document discusses 4 types of phrasal verbs in English. Type 1 consists of an intransitive verb with 2 inseparable words. Type 2 has a transitive verb with 2 inseparable words and an object, where the pronoun object comes after. Type 3 is also transitive but the particle can come before or after the object or pronoun object. Type 4 has 3 inseparable words with an object and the pronoun object always comes last. Examples are provided to illustrate the 4 types of phrasal verbs.
Modals
Modal verbs of certainty such as must, can't, may, might and could are used to make deductions or assumptions about situations in the present. The modal verb chosen depends on the degree of certainty of what is being said. These modals are generally followed by an infinitive when making deductions about habitual situations or with stative verbs. However, when deductions involve temporary situations or actions happening at the moment, the modals are followed by a gerund and the verb "to be". Examples are given of structures using each modal verb of certainty.
Lesson three
This document provides information about grammar concepts including the lexicon, lexical verbs, and clauses. It defines the lexicon as the set of all words in a language registered in a dictionary. It explains that lexical verbs are all verbs except auxiliaries and lists examples of their complement configurations. It also defines clauses as containing a subject and predicate, and distinguishes between main and subordinate clauses, giving examples of each.
Gerundios e infinitivos
Gerunds and infinitives can be used in different ways in sentences. Gerunds function as nouns and can follow certain verbs like enjoy or prepositions like after. Infinitives also function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs and can follow verbs like want or adjectives like easy. Both gerunds and infinitives are verb forms - gerunds look like present participles ending in -ing while infinitives use the word "to" followed by the base verb form. Examples are provided to illustrate their different uses.
Correlative conjuctions
Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions that join equal grammatical elements and give equal weight to both elements. Some common correlative conjunction pairs are either/or, neither/nor, not only/but also, whether/or, and both/and. Correlative conjunctions reinforce that there are two equal ideas or elements being joined in a sentence.
Am is are
The document discusses the present tense forms of the irregular verb "to be", which are "am", "is", and "are". It explains that these can function as either a main verb indicating a state of being, or as an auxiliary verb used to form verb tenses together with another main verb. When used as a main verb, it links the subject to an adjective without an object. Examples are given like "Emma is a teacher" and "The eggs are in the fridge". When used as an auxiliary verb, it has no meaning itself but performs a grammatical function, as in forming the present progressive tense.
Unit 27 reflexive and reciprocal pronouns
This document provides information about reflexive and reciprocal pronouns. It lists the reflexive pronouns as myself, yourself, himself/herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves. The reciprocal pronouns are each other for two people and one another for three or more people. Examples are given for the correct use of reflexive pronouns to refer to the same subject and object, as well as how to use reflexive pronouns to emphasize the subject or indicate acting normally or alone. Reciprocal pronouns are used when the subject and object are the same people in a two-way relationship. Practice examples are provided to complete sentences with the correct reflexive or reciprocal pronouns. Finally,
Reflex Pronouns
This document discusses reflexive and reciprocal pronouns. It defines reflexive pronouns as pronouns used when the subject and object are the same, such as "she looks at herself." It notes they can emphasize nouns or be used with imperatives like "don't push yourself." Reciprocal pronouns are used when a two-way relationship exists between the subject and object, such as "they met each other." The document provides examples and notes reciprocal pronouns have possessive forms like "each other's," while plural reflexive pronouns have a different meaning than reciprocal pronouns.
Phrasal Verbs,Ingl
There are four types of phrasal verbs:
1) Verb + particle (no object), which can be literal or idiomatic like "go out"
2) Verb + particle + object, which can be separable and literal or idiomatic like "put up"
3) Verb + particle + object, which are inseparable and can be literal or idiomatic like "come across"
4) Verb + particle + particle, which are nearly always idiomatic like "get along" and have a fixed object position.
Adverbial clauses lINGUISTICS3
This document discusses adverbial clauses. It defines an adverbial clause as a group of words that plays the role of an adverb by adding explanatory detail about how or why things happen. Adverbial clauses contain a subject and verb and begin with a subordinating conjunction. Examples are given of different types of adverbial clauses that provide information about how, why, where, and when. The document explains that adverbial clauses can add richness to writing by providing more context about how and why events occur.
Phrasal verbs
A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition or adverb that creates a new meaning different from the original verb. Phrasal verbs can be transitive, taking a direct object, or intransitive, not taking a direct object. Examples of intransitive phrasal verbs include "grew up", "will talk", and "jumping". Examples of transitive phrasal verbs include "came across" and "set up". Phrasal verbs can also be separable or inseparable, affecting the placement of the object.
Joining Independent Clauses
An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence. There are three ways to join two independent clauses: with a period to make two separate sentences; with a semicolon; or with a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction such as "and", "but", or "or". Using only a comma to join two clauses is incorrect.
Verbs and types of verbs.
This document discusses different types of verbs in the English language including:
- Lexical verbs which show actions or states and auxiliary verbs which provide additional information like tense.
- Dynamic verbs which show physical actions and stative verbs which show mental states.
- Modal auxiliary verbs which indicate possibility or probability.
- Tenses which locate verbs in time through aspects like simple, progressive, and perfective.
- Voice including active voice where the subject performs the action and passive voice where the subject receives the action.
Sentences
This document defines and provides examples of simple, compound, and complex sentences. A simple sentence contains one independent clause. A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses, joined by a subordinating conjunction or relative pronoun. Examples are provided of each sentence type using characters from the movie Frozen to illustrate.
Verbs 1 grade 8
1) Verbs show action or state of being through various tenses including simple, progressive, and perfect tenses.
2) There are four principal parts of a verb: the base form, past, past participle, and present participle. Verb phrases use a main verb with one or more auxiliary verbs.
3) Tenses indicate time through the simple present, past, and future tenses or the progressive and perfect tenses which use auxiliary verbs and different verb forms.
Pronouns
The document discusses different types of pronouns in languages. It defines pronouns as words that stand in for nouns whose identity is clear from context. Some common types of pronouns described include personal pronouns, objective pronouns, reflexive pronouns, possessive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, indefinite pronouns, distributive pronouns, negative pronouns, relative pronouns, and interrogative pronouns. Examples are provided for many pronoun types.
World records
The document provides examples of sentences using superlative adjectives to describe various world records and extremes, such as shortest man, most beautiful woman, oldest man, smallest country, most expensive car, most dangerous animal, fastest man, richest man, tallest man, driest place, slowest animal, most crowded country, and best player. The sentences demonstrate how to use superlative adjectives like shortest, oldest, tallest, and best to convey the highest degree of a quality when comparing places, people, or things around the world.

This document discusses phrasal verbs, which are verbs combined with prepositions that often have special meanings. It provides examples of common phrasal verbs like "show up", "take off", and "look at". The document explains that phrasal verbs can take objects, which can appear either after or within the verb phrase. Rules are given for object placement, including that pronouns must appear within separable phrasal verbs. More examples are given and readers are encouraged to practice with sample sentences to learn how to use phrasal verbs correctly.
ENGLISH
Phrasal verbs are two-word verb phrases consisting of a verb and a particle like an adverb or preposition. They can have a literal meaning based on the individual words or an idiomatic meaning that is not obvious. There are four types of phrasal verbs depending on whether they include an object and whether the verb and particle can be separated. Phrasal verbs can also be transitive or intransitive. Exercises are provided to identify parts of phrasal verbs and replace words with phrasal verb forms.
