The document discusses the differences between active and passive voice in sentences. In active voice, the subject performs the action stated by the verb. In passive voice, the subject receives the action. Examples are given such as "Rama helps Hari" in active versus "Rama is helped by Hari" in passive. While the active and passive forms may differ grammatically, they can express the same overall meaning.

Subjects and Verbs
This document discusses the importance of subjects and verbs in sentences and provides instructions for identifying them. It explains that a complete sentence requires both a subject and a verb, with the subject being the person or thing the sentence is about and the verb being the action. The document then outlines a four-step process for finding the subject and verb: 1) identify all nouns, verbs, and prepositions, 2) cross out prepositional phrases, 3) underline the verb twice, and 4) underline the subject once. It provides examples for practice identifying subjects and verbs.
Active and passive_verbs
Verbs are the most important words in a sentence and every sentence must contain at least one verb. Verbs can change form depending on tense, person, number, and whether they are used in the active or passive voice. In the active voice, the subject performs the action, while in the passive voice the subject has the action done to it. Sentences can be changed between the active and passive voice by making the recipient of the action the subject and using "by" to indicate who is performing the action.

Passive Jan104a
The document discusses the active and passive voice. The passive voice emphasizes the action being performed rather than the person performing it. It is used to present ideas objectively or avoid assigning blame. The active voice is preferred for business writing as it is shorter, more personal, and forceful. The difference between active and passive is that the active voice has the subject perform the action, while the passive voice has the subject receive the action. Care should be taken to avoid switching voices within a sentence and ensuring proper grammatical construction when using the passive voice.
Semicolons
Semicolons can be used to join two related independent clauses, to separate items in a list when the items contain commas, and before transitional phrases that begin a new sentence followed by a comma. Semicolons indicate a pause between major sentence elements and can replace commas and periods in certain contexts.
Sentence fragments
Group 1 presented on sentence fragments to Freshman Composition 2 students. They defined a sentence fragment as an incomplete sentence lacking a subject or verb. They discussed the 7 types of fragments: subordinate clause fragments, infinitive phrase fragments, afterthought fragments, lonely verb fragments, appositive fragments, participle phrase fragments, and intentional fragments. They provided examples for each type and a strategy for identifying fragments by reading writing backwards.
Diploma engg iv u-1.3 transformation of sentences
This document discusses different types of sentences and how to transform sentences. It describes simple, compound, and complex sentences. Simple sentences have one clause, compound have multiple main clauses, and complex have one main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. The document then provides examples of how to transform simple sentences into complex sentences by adding subordinate clauses, and vice versa by removing clauses. It also gives examples of changing affirmative sentences to negative and negative to affirmative. The overall purpose is to demonstrate how to change sentences while maintaining the same meaning.
Sentence vs-fragment
This document discusses sentence fragments and how to identify and correct them. It defines a sentence as having a subject and predicate that expresses a complete thought. A fragment lacks one of these elements. The document describes several types of fragments, including dependent word fragments, -ing and to fragments, added detail fragments, and those lacking a subject or predicate. It provides examples and explains strategies for correcting each type, such as attaching the fragment to another sentence or adding a subject or verb.

Simple sentences have one clause, compound have more than one main clause, and complex have one main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. The document then provides examples of how to transform simple sentences into compound or complex by expanding phrases into clauses, and vice versa by reducing clauses. Specific techniques discussed are replacing "too...to" structures with "so...that" and changing affirmative to negative sentences.
Diploma engg iv u-1.3 transformation of sentences
This document discusses different types of sentences and how to transform sentences from one type to another. There are three main types of sentences: simple, compound, and complex. A simple sentence contains one clause, a compound sentence contains two or more main clauses, and a complex sentence contains one main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. Sentences can be transformed between these types by expanding words or phrases into clauses to connect ideas or reducing clauses to words or phrases. Examples are provided to demonstrate how affirmative and negative sentences can also be transformed between each other without changing the overall meaning.
Different types of sentence
There are three main types of sentences: statements, questions, and commands. Direct speech uses quotation marks to report what someone said verbatim, while reported speech conveys the same information without using the exact words. A conditional sentence expresses an action or situation that depends on another condition being met. The active voice focuses on the subject performing the action, while the passive voice focuses on the object being acted upon and sometimes omits the subject.
Avoiding sentence fragments
This document discusses how to avoid sentence fragments by ensuring each sentence contains a subject and predicate that forms a complete thought. It explains that dependent clauses, introduced by subordinating conjunctions like "after", cannot stand alone as sentences. Using fragments can disrupt the flow of ideas and cause misunderstandings for the reader. To avoid fragments, writers should check that each sentence conveys complete information and logical sense on its own.
Grammar & punctuation
This document provides a review of common grammar and punctuation issues for a final exam, including subject-verb agreement, verb tense, sentence fragments, run-on sentences, word choice and spelling, pronoun problems, and uses of commas and other punctuation like apostrophes and quotation marks. Examples are given to illustrate incorrect and correct usage for each concept.
Reducedadjectiveclauses
Adjective clauses can be reduced to adjective phrases if they contain a subject pronoun and no object pronoun. There are three ways this is done: 1) by removing the relative pronoun and verb from a clause using a form of "be"; 2) by changing the verb to the -ing form; or 3) by following the relative pronoun and verb with a prepositional phrase. Non-essential clauses remain non-essential when reduced to phrases and still require commas.
When to Use an Apostrophe
This document provides guidance on using apostrophes correctly. It begins by stating that apostrophes are an important punctuation mark, as they indicate possession and contractions. It then covers the basic rules of using apostrophes to replace missing letters or show possession. Common mistakes like using apostrophes for plurals are discussed. Examples of correct apostrophe use are provided.
Apostrophe
The document discusses two main uses of apostrophes: forming contractions and showing possession. It provides examples of common contractions like don't and wouldn't which show where letters have been omitted. For possession, an apostrophe is added to the end of a noun to show it belongs to someone, like John's car. There are two rules for forming possessives - add only an apostrophe if the noun already ends in s, otherwise add 's. The document also briefly mentions a few other less common uses of apostrophes.
Teaching Capsule: Relative (Adjective) Clauses
This document provides information about clauses, including independent and dependent clauses. It defines independent clauses as groups of words with a subject and verb that can stand alone, while dependent clauses need another clause to be complete.

The document also discusses using longer descriptions and adjectives to improve writing and provides examples of combining sentences using dependent clauses.
Fragments
This document discusses sentence fragments and how to identify and correct them. It defines what constitutes a complete sentence and different types of sentence structures. Fragments are defined as incomplete sentences that are missing a subject, verb, or complete thought. The document provides examples of various fragment types and gives three methods for correcting fragments: attaching them to the previous or following sentence, or adding a subject or verb to make the fragment a complete thought. Readers are asked to identify fragments in sample sentences and rewrite a paragraph written in fragments using complete sentences.
Dangling Modifier
This document is a slideshow presentation about dangling modifiers that was created by Brandon Deppert for a composition class at the University of South Florida.

Tenses and Adverbs: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction:
Tenses and adverbs are two fundamental aspects of language that play a crucial role in conveying the timing, duration, and frequency of actions and events. Tenses help us understand when something happened, while adverbs provide additional information about how, where, or to what extent an action took place. Together, they enhance the clarity and precision of communication in any language. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into tenses and adverbs, exploring their functions, types, and the ways they interact within sentences.
I. Tenses:
Tenses are grammatical tools used to indicate the time of an action, event, or state. In English, there are three primary tenses: past, present, and future, each of which can be further divided into various forms.
1. Past Tense:
The past tense is used to describe actions, events, or states that occurred in the past. It can be divided into four main forms: simple past, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous.
- Simple Past: This tense is used for actions that occurred and were completed in the past. For example, "She traveled to Paris last summer."
- Past Continuous: This tense is used to describe actions that were ongoing or in progress at a specific point in the past. For example, "They were studying all night."
- Past Perfect: The past perfect tense is used to express an action that took place before another action in the past. For example, "He had already eaten when I arrived."
- Past Perfect Continuous: This tense is used to emphasize the duration of an action that started in the past and continued up to a certain point. For example, "She had been working at the company for five years when she got promoted."
2. Present Tense:
The present tense is used to describe actions, events, or states that are happening now or are generally true. Like the past tense, it has multiple forms: simple present, present continuous, present perfect, and present perfect continuous.
- Simple Present: This tense is used to describe actions or situations that are timeless or habitual. For example, "I read books regularly."
- Present Continuous: The present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are currently in progress. For example, "They are playing football in the park."
- Present Perfect: This tense is used to express actions that occurred at an unspecified time in the past but are relevant to the present. For example, "I have visited Paris several times."
- Present Perfect Continuous: This tense is used to emphasize the continuous nature of an action that began in the past and continues into the present. For example, "She has been working on her project for hours."
3. Future Tense:
The future tense is used to describe actions, events, or states that will occur in the future. It can be expressed through various forms, such as simple future, future continuous, future perfect, and future perfect continuous.

Skills 37 38 passive voice
This document discusses the differences between active and passive voice in English sentences. It explains that in active voice, the subject performs the action, while in passive voice, the subject receives the action. The document provides instructions for changing active sentences to passive, including changing the subject and object positions and adding a form of "be" plus the past participle verb. It discusses when to use passive voice, such as when the action is more important than the actor, and common mistakes to avoid, like using passive forms with verbs that cannot be passive.

4. When she arrived, she was amazed by the changes.
5. Street repairs are being made all month long by the construction workers.
PARTS OF SPEECH-VERBS.pptx
The document defines and describes different types of verbs. It explains that a verb indicates an action or existence and can be singular or plural depending on the subject. The main types of verbs discussed are auxiliary/helping verbs, transitive verbs which require an object, and intransitive verbs which do not. Examples are provided to illustrate the usage of singular and plural verbs with different subjects. Additional rules are outlined for verbs used with compound subjects.
Translation of metaphor
The document discusses various topics related to translating metaphors including:
1. Defining metaphors and differentiating them from similes.
2. Identifying the components of metaphors and terms like denotation and connotation.
3. Describing different types of metaphors like dead metaphors and original metaphors.

This document discusses key linguistic concepts - sentence, utterance, and proposition. It defines a sentence as a grammatically complete string of words expressing a thought, while an utterance is any stretch of speech between pauses. A proposition is the statement or assertion conveyed by a declarative sentence, describing some state of affairs involving things or persons referred to in the sentence. The document provides examples and comparisons of sentences, utterances, and propositions, examining their meanings and relationships. It also discusses different types of sentence and proposition meanings.
Intro. to Linguistics_14 Sociolinguistics
Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. It examines how factors like region, social status, and ethnicity can impact language use between groups and individuals. Code-switching occurs when speakers fluidly switch between two or more languages or language varieties during conversation. Code-mixing is similar but involves integrating elements of other languages into sentences. Sociolinguistic concepts like diglossia, bilingualism, and language interference help explain language variation and use within multilingual communities and societies.
Culture and language
Culture is defined as the set of learned behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, values and ideas that characterize a society. Language is the primary means of preserving and transmitting culture between generations. There is a close relationship between language and culture - they influence each other. Language reflects the physical and social environment of its culture through vocabulary related to areas like climate, occupations, and kinship terms. Different cultures categorize family relationships differently, and this is reflected in their language.

The Passive Voice Chema
The document discusses the passive voice in English. It defines the active and passive voices and how they differ in emphasis. The passive is formed by moving the object of the active sentence to the subject position of the passive sentence and using a form of "be" plus the past participle of the main verb. The agent is often omitted from passive sentences or expressed using "by". Certain verbs like stative verbs are sometimes not used in the passive voice.
Language and culture, s w hypothesis
Language and culture have a close relationship. Language allows culture to be transmitted between generations and helps establish communities through shared identities. While culture can influence the structure and vocabulary of a language, language also shapes thought and perceptions of reality according to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Different languages categorize concepts like time, kinship, colors and animals in distinct ways according to their cultures. The document provides examples of how vocabulary and meanings of words vary between cultures and languages.

It also explores how speech acts are used in social interactions and how they vary across cultures. The document defines key concepts like speech acts, illocutionary forces, performatives, and pragmatics. It examines how speech acts are classified and embedded in daily conversation through discourse routines and speech events like genres.
Introduction What is sociolinguistics (1).pptx
Sociolinguistics is the study of language in relation to society. It examines how language varies based on social factors like the speaker's role, the listener, and the context or situation. Sociolinguists are interested in who speaks what language to whom and when. While linguistics focuses on the structure of language, sociolinguistics analyzes how language is used in social contexts and the functions it serves in society. It studies the relationship between language and social interactions.
Verbs ariehmar a. bardoquillo
Verbs are the most important words in a sentence. They can change form depending on tense (past, present, future), person (I, you, he/she), and voice (active or passive). In active voice sentences, the subject performs the action. In passive voice sentences, the subject receives the action. To change a sentence from active to passive voice, make the recipient of the action the subject and use "by" to indicate who performed the action.
Nouns
This document discusses different types of nouns in English. It defines and provides examples of common nouns, proper nouns, compound nouns, countable nouns, uncountable nouns, collective nouns, abstract nouns, concrete nouns, and verbal nouns. It also discusses when to use hyphens in compound nouns and how to identify countable vs. uncountable nouns. For homework, students are asked to define all the nouns covered, complete two exercises identifying noun types, and hand in their work.
Language and its varieties
Language varies according to several factors, with region being a major parameter. Region leads to the development of dialects, which are regional varieties that differ in pronunciation, accent, rhythm and style but not grammar or vocabulary. The more a language spreads geographically, the more dialects it develops. For example, English has many national varieties like British English and Indian English due to being used in different countries and regions. Within countries there are also regional dialects, as seen with the many dialects of English that have developed within India.
