Adjective Phrase
An adjective phrase is a group of words that modifies and provides more information about a noun or pronoun, consisting of an adjective and any modifiers. It functions like an adjective to describe a noun or pronoun by including adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions. The main difference between an adjective phrase and a noun phrase is that an adjective phrase acts as an adjective by describing a noun or pronoun, while a noun phrase acts as a noun.
Sentence stress
The document discusses sentence stress in English. The main points are:
1. Sentence stress refers to emphasizing certain words within a sentence, giving the sentence rhythm.
2. Words in a sentence can be classified as either content words, which carry the main meaning, or structure words, which are less important grammatically. Content words receive stress while structure words are unstressed.
3. The time between stressed content words should remain constant to maintain the rhythm of English speech. Structure words can be said more quickly or slowly to achieve this constant rhythm.
Noun Phrase
A noun phrase refers to a group of words that functions as a noun, including the noun and any modifiers or determiners. Modifiers such as adjectives, prepositional phrases, and relative clauses provide additional information about the noun. Determiners like articles and possessives also clarify or describe the noun. Similarly, an adjective phrase is a group of words that describes a noun or pronoun, consisting of an adjective and any additional modifiers. Both noun phrases and adjective phrases add detail to nouns or pronouns in a sentence.

Noun phrase
This document provides an overview of noun phrases and their structure. It discusses that a noun phrase contains a head word, which is usually a noun or pronoun, and can include pre-modifiers before the head and post-modifiers after the head. The key parts of a noun phrase are identified as the determiner, pre-modifier, head, and post-modifier. Common types of pre-modifiers include adjectives and nouns, while post-modifiers often include prepositional phrases and clauses. The document also notes that occasionally adjectives, determiners, and nouns can function as the head of a noun phrase.
Collocations
The document discusses collocations, which are predictable combinations of words that typically go together. It provides examples of different types of collocations like adverb + adjective. Collocations can be more or less fixed, with idioms being very fixed meanings and structures like "let's" being less fixed but still limited. Learning collocations is important because the brain stores language in chunks rather than individual words, so knowing collocations promotes fluency and efficiency in speaking, writing, listening and reading.
Introducing Ginglish
Ginglish is a language based on English that aims to simplify English spelling by making it fully phonetic. It uses the same 26 letters as English but defines vowels and consonants logically. Ginglish spelling can be either formal, based on common pronunciations, or straight, matching exact pronunciations. Tables are provided showing vowel and consonant examples. While Ginglish spelling is unified, some pronunciation variations exist between American and British English. The goal of Ginglish is to make spelling much easier and help increase literacy rates.
Foundations of Grammar 4: What is conjugation?
The document defines conjugating a verb as changing its form from the infinitive (e.g. to eat) to agree with the subject and tense, such as "I eat" or "they slept". There are six subjects in English (I, you, he/she/it, we, you plural, they) that determine the verb form. If asked to conjugate a verb, one lists all its forms for a given tense, such as the six forms of "to be" in the present tense (I am, you are, etc.). Regular verbs follow patterns, while irregular verbs must be memorized due to not following patterns.
Sentence analysis: Parts of Speech
This document defines and provides examples of the 8 parts of speech in English: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. It explains that nouns represent people, places, things or concepts. Pronouns stand in for nouns. Verbs express actions or states of being. Adjectives describe nouns. Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. Prepositions connect nouns to other words. Conjunctions connect words or parts of sentences. Interjections represent outbursts of emotion. Some words can function as multiple parts of speech depending on usage.
Analyzing Word Parts
This document provides instructions for analyzing unfamiliar words by examining their prefixes, suffixes, and base words. It includes an example of breaking down the word "illiterate" into its parts. Readers are asked to complete a chart breaking down the word parts of sample words. The chart models how to identify the base word, prefix, suffix, and meaning. Finally, readers are given words and asked to use prefixes or suffixes to create new words from base words in parentheses.
Parts Of Speech

Verbs are doing words that denote actions. Adjectives are describing words that make nouns more specific by describing size, age, or other attributes. Examples of German nouns, verbs, and adjectives are provided.
Word formation in English
This document discusses different word formations in English using prefixes and suffixes. It provides examples of how prefixes like "un-", "non-", "de-" can change the meaning of words to their opposites. It also gives examples of how suffixes like "-ize", "-ify", "-ness", "-able", "-ic", "-ical", "-less" can be added to verbs, nouns and adjectives to form new words by changing word class or meaning. The document aims to show students the various ways new words can be formed in English through the addition of prefixes and suffixes to existing words.
Grammar typesofsentences
The document discusses the four types of sentences in English: declarative sentences make statements, interrogative sentences ask questions, imperative sentences give commands, and exclamatory sentences add emphasis through intonation rather than being a distinct type. Declarative sentences convey information, interrogative sentences request information, imperative sentences make commands or requests, and exclamatory sentences show emphasis through added intonation to declarative, interrogative, or imperative sentences.
Spelling, punctuation and grammar
This document provides information and examples about teaching grammar, punctuation, and spelling (SPaG) in a 40 minute lesson.

Spelling
This document discusses spelling conventions in British and American English. It begins by defining spelling as the representation of sounds in a written language using graphemes. It then provides examples of differences in spelling between British and American English, such as words ending in "-our" versus "-or", verbs ending in "-ise" versus "-ize", and the doubling of consonants in certain verb endings in British English. It also notes that British English retains spellings from other languages like French and German more often than American English. The document concludes by stating that both spelling conventions are generally acceptable unless writing for a specific audience.
Introductions
This document provides instructions for introducing oneself in Hebrew. It explains that the simplest way is to say "Hello, I am..." followed by your name, as Hebrew does not use a verb "to be". For example, "Hello, I am David" would be "Shalom, ani David". It also presents the alternative expression "My name is..." or "I am called..." which is "Korim li..." and notes this is more informal. Examples are given of using these expressions to introduce others by replacing the first person pronoun.
08 09.3.collocation
This document discusses collocation, which refers to words that frequently occur together. Collocation is important for writing and translation as words gain meaning from the company they keep. The document provides examples of collocations like "hot dog" and discusses criteria like non-compositionality and non-substitutability. It also distinguishes collocations from idioms and discusses how to learn collocations through noticing them, recording them, and practicing.
Dual form
This document discusses the dual form in Hebrew, which is used to express a pair of something and is formed by adding a yod to the end of a noun. The dual form is rare and mainly used for body parts that come in pairs, like eyes, hands, and legs. Adjectives describing nouns in the dual form take the regular masculine plural ending rather than following the dual form rules. The dual form exists for only a limited number of nouns and most body parts that have a dual are feminine gender.
Coev construction
This document discusses the irregular Hebrew verb "to hurt" (כואב). It explains that this verb is used with the possessive pronoun like "to have" in the construction of [verb] + [possessive pronoun] + [definite noun], such as "my head hurts" (הראש לי כואב). It provides examples of this construction with different pronouns and body parts. Additionally, it notes that other verbs like "hot" and "cold" follow a similar construction.
AGMA
1. The document discusses a presentation by Charles Cohon, CEO of the Manufacturers' Agents National Association (MANA), about how manufacturers can improve their relationships with representatives.

- 1. Parts of Speech By: Ghada Elfauomy
- 3. Parts of Speech The words that compose the English language , or any other language can be classified in various ways. The words in English language can be grouped, into eight classes. These are the parts of speech. They are as follow :
- 4. Parts of Speech Nouns: words that are the names of things or people or places, Examples: house, hat, iron, Mary, London , army, sweetness. Pronouns : are words that can be used instead of nouns, so that we can refer to people or things without really naming them, Examples: I, You, them, who, that, himself, someone.
- 5. Parts of Speech Verbs: words that express the idea of action or being, that affirm that a person or thing is, Examples: 1. The boys played football. 2. He is hungry. Adjectives : words that qualify a noun by making its meaning clearer, fuller, or more exact, Examples: a bad egg, a blue dress, the book is new.
- 6. Parts of Speech Adverbs : words that we can add to a verb to make its meaning clearer, fuller or more exact, Examples: He ran quickly. I saw him yesterday. Preposition: words that are used with nouns or pronouns and show the relationship between the noun or pronoun and another word, often expressing abstract relationship of case or time or place, Examples: I sent the parcel to him; it went by air mail.
- 7. Parts of Speech Conjunctions: words that are used to join words, phrases or sentences. Examples: Jack and Jill, a boy with dirty face but a pleasant smile. He worked hard because he wanted to succeed. Interjections: words that express a sudden feeling or emotion. Examples: Hello! Oh! Ah!.
