Pronouns (Online)
This document discusses parts of speech, with a focus on nouns and pronouns. It covers the different cases that nouns and pronouns can take (subject, object, possessive). It provides examples of how pronouns are used in different cases and clarifies some commonly confused pronoun pairs like who/whom and which/that. The document also provides tips for ensuring clear pronoun references in writing.
Introduction to Noun Clauses
Noun clauses function as subjects, direct objects, objects of prepositions, or subject complements in sentences. They contain a signal word like a subordinating conjunction, a subject, and a verb. Common signal words include wh-words like what, when, where, why as well as that and if/whether. That clauses often follow verbs expressing opinions, thoughts, or certain adjectives. If and whether clauses express yes/no questions as noun clauses. Wh-word clauses can also be questions or statements and use statement word order after the wh-word.

Pronouns and its types
Pronouns are parts of speech that replace nouns. There are several types of pronouns including personal pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, interrogative pronouns, and possessive pronouns. Personal pronouns refer to specific people or things and include subject pronouns like I, he, she and object pronouns like me, him, her. Demonstrative pronouns point to particular nouns and include this, that, these, those. Interrogative pronouns introduce questions using words like who, what, where. Possessive pronouns show ownership with words like my, your, his, hers.
Phrasal verb
Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with a preposition or adverb that create a meaning different from the original verb. They are an important part of spoken English and informal writing. Phrasal verbs can be transitive or intransitive, and transitive phrasal verbs can be separable or inseparable depending on whether the object comes before or after the particle. The placement of the object differs depending on if it is a noun or pronoun.
Noun clause presentation mssl
A noun clause is a dependent clause that functions as a noun within a sentence. Noun clauses contain a subject and verb, but cannot stand alone as they are not complete thoughts. They must be paired with an independent clause. Noun clauses can serve as the subject, direct object, indirect object, or object of a preposition within a sentence. They are generally introduced by words like what, that, why, and how. The subjunctive case is sometimes used in noun clauses to express uncertainty, such as after verbs like require and advise.

Transitive and intransitive
The document discusses transitive and intransitive verbs. A transitive verb has a direct object that receives the action of the verb, while an intransitive verb does not have a direct object. To determine if a verb is transitive or intransitive, ask what or whom after the verb. If there is a direct object, the verb is transitive; if there is no direct object, the verb is intransitive. Examples are provided to illustrate transitive verbs like "wrote" and "shook" as well as intransitive verbs like "applauded" and "shook." Verbs are complex but essential to sentences.

Tragedy
Drama comes from the Greek word meaning "to do" and is defined as an "imitation of action." It is different from fiction in that it is meant to be performed on stage. Plays tell a story through dialogue and description like fiction, but are written to be performed in front of an audience. Drama imitates human life and experiences through the speech and movements of actors on stage. It shows human interactions and relationships in a meaningful way. Drama makes use of other art forms like architecture, lighting, music and sound to enhance the interpretation of performances.

Introduction To Mindfulness
This document introduces mindfulness and describes four types. It states that mindfulness is about activating the senses, sharpening awareness, living in the moment, and consciousness rather than thinking, zoning out, or emptying the mind. The four types are mindful-senses, intellectual mindfulness, emotional mindfulness, and spiritual mindfulness. Intellectual mindfulness involves tracking thoughts between past, present and future. Emotional mindfulness involves awareness of emotions and what triggers them. Spiritual mindfulness involves mindfulness, unconditional love, lack of attachments, and freedom through awareness of bodily sensations, thoughts, emotions, and sense of purpose.
Semantic Relation Classification: Task Formalisation and Refinement
The identification of semantic relations between terms within texts is a fundamental task in Natural Language Processing which can support applications requiring a lightweight semantic interpretation model. Currently, semantic relation classification concentrates on relations which are evaluated over open-domain data. This work provides a critique on the set of abstract relations used for semantic relation classification with regard to their ability to express relationships between terms which are found in a domain-specific corpora. Based on this analysis, this work proposes an alternative semantic relation model based on reusing and extending the set of abstract relations present in the DOLCE ontology. The resulting set of relations is well grounded,
allows to capture a wide range of relations and could thus be used as a foundation for automatic classification of semantic relations.
Aristotle's poetics
This document summarizes Aristotle's work "The Poetics" and its key ideas. It begins by providing background on the author and work. The main points then compare Aristotle and Plato's differing views on poetry and imitation. Key definitions from Aristotle are outlined, such as his definition of tragedy. Other major concepts from "The Poetics" are briefly explained, like catharsis, types of plots, characteristics, and the dramatic unities of time and place. The document concludes by acknowledging room for improvement in the summary but hopes it provided a high-level overview of Aristotle's influential work.
Universal grammar
This document discusses Universal Grammar (UG) and its role in second language acquisition. UG proposes that the human brain is hardwired with innate, universal principles of grammar. It suggests that children learn the rules of their native language quickly because their brain contains a Language Acquisition Device that allows them to map the principles of UG onto the parameters of the specific language. The document outlines the history and key concepts of UG, including poverty of stimulus, constraints on learning, and universal developmental patterns. It also discusses related concepts like principles and parameters, and Chomsky's Minimalist Program. Researchers have studied whether and how second language learners may access the principles of UG.
Branches of linguistics
This document provides an overview of the main branches of linguistics. It discusses phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Phonetics studies speech sounds and their production, transmission, and perception. Phonology examines sound systems and phonemes. Morphology analyzes the formation of words from morphemes. Syntax establishes rules for sentence structure. Semantics deals with meaning at various linguistic levels. Pragmatics studies meaning in context during communication.

What is a Noun (Kinds, categories & case of coun).pdf
In Today’s article we study about what is noun, kinds of noun, categories of noun & case of noun. When we speak or write, we use words to express what we are thinking or feeling. In the sentence all can’t be noun. These many words which belong to the English language are classified into eight groups known as parts of speech. There are many other words and vocabularies in any language but all of them do not perform the same job.
For example,
some words express “action”.
Other words express a “thing”.
Other words “join” one word to another word. These are the “base builder” of the language. Just imagine them like the element of a house. When we want to build a house,
we use concrete to make the foundations or base.
We use bricks to make the walls.
or use window frames to make the windows, and door frames to make the doorways.
And we use cement to join them all together. Each part of the house has its own job. When we want to build a sentence, we use the different types of word. Each type of word has its own job.

Adjective Clauses.ppt
This document provides an explanation of adjective clauses and their usage. It defines an adjective clause as a dependent clause that describes a noun. Adjective clauses use relative pronouns like who, which, that to connect the clause to the noun it modifies. The pronoun must match the type of noun - people use who/whom, things/animals use which/that. Adjective clauses can be either essential/identifying clauses that are necessary to identify the noun, or non-essential/non-identifying clauses that provide extra information, with identifying clauses not using commas and non-identifying clauses using commas.

Tragedy
Drama is an imitation of human action that is performed on stage. It tells a story through dialogue and descriptions, engaging viewers through the actors' speech and movements. Unlike fiction, drama is meant to be performed and viewed live. It uses a combination of elements like architecture, lighting, music and sound to immerse viewers and interpret the interactions between characters on stage. To fully understand a play, readers should imagine how it would be staged and directed by paying attention to performance elements in the text.
Subjectverbagreement (online)
This document discusses subject-verb agreement and provides tips for ensuring agreement between subjects and verbs. It notes that singular subjects take singular verbs while plural subjects take plural verbs. When the subject is in the third person singular, the verb takes an "s". Compound subjects are determined by the closest noun to the verb. Modifying phrases between the subject and verb do not change the agreement. Tips for revision include identifying the subject's person and number and matching it to the verb's person and number.
Semicolons
This document provides guidance on using semicolons and colons in sentences. It discusses using semicolons between two independent clauses with a transitional expression; between items in a series that already contain commas; and to join related independent clauses that offer contrasting or parallel information. A comma splice is defined as using only a comma between two independent clauses. Colons are used to introduce a list or explanatory material following an independent clause. Examples are given for correctly using semicolons and colons in sentences.
Possessive Case
This document provides guidance on using possessive case in English sentences. It discusses forming possessives with singular and plural nouns, including nouns ending in s, and addresses cases of joint versus individual ownership. Examples are given for different possessive structures like those involving of-phrases or singular nouns ending in s.
Commas
This document provides guidance on proper comma usage in sentences. It discusses using commas with coordinating conjunctions to join two independent clauses, with lists of three or more items, and to set off nonrestrictive elements. It also addresses using commas with introductory elements and transitional words or phrases. The document aims to help the reader learn when to correctly use commas in different parts of a sentence.
Semicolons online
This document provides information on the proper usage of semicolons. It notes that semicolons can be used between two independent clauses or items of equal grammatical rank that are not joined by a conjunction. Examples are given of using semicolons between independent clauses and items in a series. The document also discusses not misusing semicolons, such as between a dependent clause and independent clause. Overall, the document offers guidance on when semicolons are appropriately used in writing.
Possessivecase online
This document discusses the use of apostrophes to form possessives and contractions. It explains that apostrophes are used to show possession and omission in contractions. For singular nouns, add 's to form the possessive. For plural nouns already ending in s, just add an apostrophe. There are special cases for singular nouns ending in s and titles already containing an apostrophe. The document also provides guidance on forming possessives for two or more items.
Parsing Independent Clauses
This document provides guidance on identifying and correcting common grammatical errors such as sentence fragments, run-on sentences, and comma splices. It instructs students to write examples of different types of grammatical structures, including sentences lacking subjects or verbs, dependent clauses, and prepositional phrases. The document then explains each error type in more detail and offers rules for joining clauses correctly with conjunctions and punctuation.
Subjectverbagreement
The document provides guidance on subject-verb agreement including:
- Singular subjects use singular verbs and plural subjects use plural verbs.
- A modifying phrase between a subject and verb does not change subject-verb agreement.
- When revising subject-verb agreement, check that the subject and verb match in person and number.
Semicolons
The document provides instruction on using semicolons correctly in sentences. It includes examples of using semicolons between two independent clauses, between independent clauses joined by a transitional expression, and between items in a series. It also provides one example each of a correct sentence using a colon and a comma splice about a supplemental reading.
F11 eng101 semicolons
Semicolons can be used between two independent clauses that are closely related and offer parallel or contrasting information without a coordinating conjunction. They can also be used between items in a list if the items already contain commas. Semicolons give the reader a pause or option to join two clauses more closely than a period but not as final as a period.
Run On Sentences (Online)
This document discusses various types of sentence errors such as fragments, run-on sentences, comma splices, and phrases. It provides examples of each type of error and explains how to identify and correct them. Sentence fragments lack either a subject or verb, run-on sentences incorrectly join two independent clauses, and comma splices use only a comma where a conjunction is needed. The document recommends adding subjects, verbs, conjunctions, or semicolons as needed to fix errors and make sentences complete.
Verbs
The document provides instructions for group work involving writing sentences using different verb forms, tenses, voices, and perspectives. Students are asked to write sentences about the status of their paper and a supplemental reading using present, past, and future tense, first, second, and third person, and both active and passive voice. The document also provides information about verbs, including their function, tenses, voices, and agreement with subjects.
F11 eng101 verbs
Verbs describe actions and states of being that can occur in the present, past or future tense. Verbs also take a person which can be first, second or third person. Verbs have an active or passive voice, with active voice being preferred where the subject performs the action of the verb. Professor Wend will create a verb tense chart for the course wiki to provide more information on verbs.
F11 eng101 pronouns
Nouns and pronouns are parts of speech that can take different forms depending on their function in a sentence. Nouns can be subjects or objects, and change form in the possessive case. Pronouns substitute for nouns and have three cases - subject, object, and possessive. The document then provides examples of how pronouns are used in different cases and situations, including as subjects, objects, in possessive constructions, and with who/whom, we/us, and that/which. It concludes with a reminder to ensure pronoun references are clear.
S11 eng10104 012311_pronouns
Nouns can refer to people, places, or things and can be the subject of a clause. Pronouns substitute for nouns and have three cases: subject, object, and possessive. Pronouns take different forms depending on whether they are used as the subject, direct object, indirect object, or to indicate possession. It is important to use pronouns like who, whom, we, and us correctly depending on whether the pronoun is serving as the subject or object in a sentence. Pronoun references must also be clear about what word the pronoun is substituting for.
S11 eng10104 030911_criticalthinking
The document discusses different types of evidence that can be used to support opinions, including facts, examples, statistics, and expert opinions. It emphasizes that opinions are stronger when supported by reliable, relevant, sufficient, and representative evidence from credible sources. Readers should evaluate evidence for accuracy and potential bias, and be aware of logical fallacies. The document also distinguishes between inductive and deductive reasoning.
S11 eng10104 030711_runonfragment
The document discusses different types of sentence errors such as fragments, run-on sentences, comma splices, dependent clauses, phrases, and prepositional phrases. It provides examples of each type of error and explains how to fix them, such as adding subjects, verbs, conjunctions, or punctuation like commas and semicolons. The document stresses the importance of revising sentences to avoid fragments, run-ons, and other errors.
S11 eng10104 022811_subjectverbagreement
This document discusses subject-verb agreement and provides examples and rules to follow:
1. Singular subjects use singular verbs and plural subjects use plural verbs.
2. When using present tense verbs with third person singular subjects, add an "s" to the verb.
3. When dealing with plural nouns, do not add an "s" to the verb. Compound subjects are determined by the closest noun to the verb.
4. Modifying phrases between the subject and verb do not change subject-verb agreement - the verb still agrees with the subject.
S11 eng10104 021411_possessivecase
- Apostrophes are used to form the possessive case to indicate ownership, in contractions to combine two words, and sometimes to form plurals.
- To form the possessive case for singular nouns and certain pronouns, add an apostrophe and s. For singular nouns ending in s, add only an apostrophe to form the possessive in most cases.
- For plural nouns already ending in s or compound nouns, add only an apostrophe to form the possessive.

Pronouns
- 1. Group Work ● In your groups, write a sentence that uses pronouns in the subject case. ● Write a sentence that uses pronouns in the object case. ● Write a sentence using that/which correctly. ● Write a sentence using we/us correctly.
- 2. Nouns! • Nouns are one of the eight parts of speech • A noun can be a person, place, or thing • A noun can also be the subject of a clause, whether independent or dependent • A noun can also be the object of a verb in a clause
- 3. Previewing Possessive Case ● Nouns only change form when in the possessive case (which we will discuss in a few minutes)... ● Bethany's eyes ● Alice's fur coat
- 4. Pronouns ● A pronoun is a word that substitutes for a noun. ● Pronouns are about specification. They do not exist in a vacuum. ● Pronouns have three cases: subject, object, and possessive.
- 5. Pronouns! ● What is case? Case is the form a noun or pronoun takes to indicate its function in a sentence ● Three cases above ● Pronoun chart
- 6. Group Question #1 ● In your groups, write a sentence that uses pronouns in the subject case.
- 7. Subject Case! ● Pronouns take on the subject case in the following situations: ● As a subject of a verb: She bought a new water bottle. ● As a subject complement: It was she who took me to Long Beach Island.
- 8. Group Question #2 ● Write a sentence that uses pronouns in the object case.
- 9. Object Case! ● Pronouns take on the object case in the following situations: ● As a direct object (nouns affected by subject/verb): Our department head told Alexis and me to come to the meeting. ● As an indirect object (tells you who the action is happening to): The tuition bill surprised him.
- 10. Possessive Case! ● Possessive case indicates ownership of something: your car, your book, our wedding ● Bethany's advisor approved her trip to our campus.

- 17. Which v That! ● Which will be used when you have a nonrestrictive clause that would not change the meaning of a sentence. ● This is supplemental information. ● My bag, which is sized for 15” laptops, cannot hold that laptop. ● At Stockton, the coffee shop which is open until midnight is the saving grace of the night school community. ● Grammar Girl on That v Which
- 18. Time Out! ● Pause. ● Take a breath! ● Questions?!

(he and it refer to Rooney and ball) •If it is ambiguous whether one or more nouns are being referenced, use the noun instead of a pronoun.
- 20. Look For Clues ● What is the pronoun referencing? ● Look for other pronouns ● Comma usage (which)
- 21. Listen! ● Grammar Girl on Subjects and Objects ● Grammar Girl on whether you should use that for your pets.
