Verbs describe actions or states of being and can be in the present, past, or future tense. Verbs must agree with their subjects in terms of person. Verbs can also be in the active or passive voice, with active voice preferred where the subject performs the action of the verb. The professor plans to provide a verb tense chart on the course wiki to further explain verbs.

Copula
The copula "be" poses problems for learners at early stages of language learning. It functions as both an auxiliary verb and a copula. As a copula, it links subjects to predicate adjectives or nouns. As an auxiliary, it indicates progressive aspect. Unlike other verbs like "walk", the copula "be" has more inflected forms across tenses and subjects. It also behaves differently syntactically, requiring no auxiliary for questions or negatives. Finally, some languages lack a copula, which can pose difficulties for learners.

Common phrases include noun phrases containing nouns and determiners, adjective phrases modifying nouns, verb phrases with main or auxiliary verbs, adverb phrases modifying verbs or adjectives, and prepositional phrases with a preposition and noun phrase.
Pasado simple
The past simple tense indicates actions that occurred at a specific time in the past and is the only tense that uses verbs in the past form. Its main characteristic is that the main verb of the sentence is always last, though time expressions in the supplement are optional. Adjectives in English are invariant, meaning they do not change form for number, gender, or other inflections. Adjectives have three degrees: positive is the basic form, comparative sets comparisons between two things, and superlative denotes the highest degree of a quality.

Finally, it presents the basic conjugations for the simple present, past, and future tenses across the different pronoun types.
Prepositions
A preposition indicates the spatial, temporal, or logical relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. Common prepositions include in, on, at, over, under, behind, in front of, beside, between, near, down, and ago. Prepositions are often used to specify time, such as in April, on Friday, at night, since 1993, for two years, until yesterday, and before 2008. Examples show how prepositions indicate where an object is located or reference a specific point in time.

Verb
A verb expresses a physical action, mental action, or state of being. Verbs can be categorized as intransitive if they cannot take a direct object or transitive if they can. Verbs change form through conjugation according to the subject, which can be first, second, or third person singular or plural.
2 direct objects, the personal a, and direct object pronouns
1. Direct objects are things or people that receive the direct action of the verb. Direct objects that refer to people or pets are preceded by the personal "a".
2. Direct object pronouns replace direct object nouns to avoid repetition, such as "it", "them", etc. In Spanish, direct object pronouns include "me", "te", "lo", "la", "los", "las".
3. Direct object pronouns are usually placed before the conjugated verb or attached to the end of an infinitive or gerund. In negative sentences, the pronoun goes between "no" and the verb.

2. Direct object pronouns replace direct object nouns so the object does not have to be repeatedly stated. In Spanish, direct object pronouns include me, te, lo, la, nos, os, los, las.
3. Direct object pronouns are placed before conjugated verbs or attached to infinitives and gerunds. In negative sentences, the pronoun goes between the negation "no" and the verb.
Pronouns
The document discusses different types of pronouns in English. It defines a pronoun as a word used instead of a noun. There are subject pronouns, object pronouns, possessive adjectives, possessive pronouns, and reflexive pronouns. Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence. Object pronouns are used to substitute nouns and always follow verbs. Possessive adjectives indicate ownership and precede nouns. Possessive pronouns are used in place of nouns. Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence or clause and end in "self" or "selves".
Stressed syllables
This document defines syllables and stress, and discusses their importance in pronunciation. It notes that a syllable is a unit of pronunciation with one vowel sound, and stress involves pronouncing a syllable with extra force. Words with multiple syllables have one stressed syllable that is pronounced louder, longer, clearer, and with higher pitch. The document provides examples of word and sentence stress patterns and discusses how stress can indicate parts of speech and meaning.
Verb
This document defines verbs and their types and forms. It states that a verb is a word that describes an action, state or occurrence. Verbs have three forms - present, past and future. There are three types of verbs: intransitive verbs whose action does not pass to an object, transitive verbs which must be followed by an object, and linking verbs which connect the subject to a description rather than an action. Regular verbs form their past tense by adding -ed or -d, while irregular verbs change their spelling or both vowel and consonant. The verb must agree with its subject in number and person.
Pronoun agreement
The document discusses pronoun-antecedent agreement, explaining that pronouns must agree in number with their antecedents. It also covers collective nouns, indefinite pronouns, pronouns joined by "either/or" and "neither/nor", gender-inclusive language, pronoun case, and comparisons using pronouns after "than" or "as". Examples are provided to illustrate correct and incorrect pronoun usage according to these rules.
Simpletenses
This document defines and discusses the simple tenses of verbs in English, including the present, past, and future tenses. It covers formation, usage, and examples of the simple present, past, and future tenses in both active and passive voice. Key points include how the present tense expresses habitual or ongoing actions, the past tense expresses completed actions at a definite time in the past, and the future tense expresses actions that will occur beyond the present. Examples are provided to illustrate the different tenses.
Some grammar explanations for writers

PartsofSpeechinEnglishGrammar.docx
This document discusses the different parts of speech in English grammar. It begins by defining what a word is and then outlines the nine main parts of speech: noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, preposition, conjunction, interjection, and determiner. It then provides detailed descriptions and examples of each part of speech, including the different types of nouns, pronouns, and verbs. Key points covered include the definitions of nouns, pronouns, verbs and their various subcategories such as common vs. proper nouns, subject vs. object pronouns, and linking vs. transitive verbs.
Pronouns
This document defines and provides examples of different types of pronouns:
- Pronouns take the place of nouns and their categories include personal, possessive, demonstrative, reflexive, interrogative, and indefinite pronouns.
- Personal pronouns represent specific people or things and depend on number, person, gender, and case.
- Possessive pronouns show ownership and never use apostrophes.
- Demonstrative pronouns single out nouns by distance or time as this/these (near) and that/those (far).
English Verbs
1) Verbs are words that indicate actions, states of being, or emotions. They may vary in form depending on factors like tense, voice, and whether they agree with the subject.
2) Verbs are divided into transitive verbs (which take a direct object) and intransitive verbs (which do not). Linking verbs connect the subject to a word that renames or describes it. Helping verbs convey additional information like time or possibility.
3) Irregular verbs have unpredictable past tense or past participle forms, while regular verbs follow predictable patterns. There are over 16 tenses in English depending on combinations of aspects like time, continuation, and completeness.

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.
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.
