The document provides guidelines for proper use of punctuation marks and capitalization in English grammar. It discusses rules for full stops, commas, semicolons, colons, quotation marks, parentheses, brackets, apostrophes, hyphens, ellipses, dashes, exclamation marks, question marks, and slashes. It also covers when to capitalize words, noting that proper nouns, institutions, and special occasions should be capitalized but common nouns should not. The document aims to clearly explain punctuation and capitalization for producing formal written English.
The document discusses the subject and predicate in sentences. The subject is the person, place, thing or idea that the sentence is about, and is often the "doer" of the verb. The predicate contains the verb and says something about the subject. A sentence's subject can take different forms including nouns, pronouns, noun phrases, infinitive phrases, gerund phrases, and clauses. The subject usually comes before the predicate but there are some cases where it does not, such as in questions or sentences beginning with adverbs.
The document defines and provides examples of noun phrases. It can be summarized as:
1) A noun phrase consists of a noun as the head, and may include pre-modifiers like adjectives, determiners, or relative clauses, as well as post-modifiers like prepositional phrases or clauses.
2) Basic noun phrases contain only pre-modifiers and a head noun, while complex noun phrases also include post-modifiers.
3) Pre-modifiers occur in a generally fixed order and can include determiners, adjectives, nouns, and others. Post-modifiers further describe the head noun and include adjectives, prepositional phrases, and clauses.
Adjective phrases modify nouns and consist of an adjective and other optional elements like determiners or modifiers. They can function as attributive modifiers before nouns or after linking verbs. Adjective phrases can also be modified by adverbs or other determiners. Common examples include "a very slow voice", "heavy rain", and "a cup of hot chocolate". The adjective is the head of the phrase and additional words provide context about the adjective.
Use apostrophes, capital letters, colons, commas, exclamation points, hyphens, periods, question marks, and quotation marks correctly in writing. Each punctuation mark has specific rules for its use, such as using apostrophes to form contractions and possessives, capitalizing proper nouns and the first word of sentences, and placing commas between independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions. Punctuation helps clarify meaning and ensure readers comprehend the writer's intended message.
The document provides information about prepositional phrases including:
- A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition, its object, and any modifiers of the object.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

2. Names for Words: Parts of
Speech
No matter what, words must be put together
That makes a sentence
Nothing is possible without sentences
3. Sentence Structure
All sentences must start with a capital letter
All sentences must end with a punctuation
A sentence is not a part of speech; it just the
thing that contains the Part of speech
4. 8 Main Parts Of Speech
Nouns interjections
Verbs
Adjective
Adverbs
Preposition
Conjunctions
Pronouns
6. Conjunctions
Conjunctions are connecting words
Example:
And adds things together in the sentence
“I like baseball and soccer.”
Or also joins, but makes an option
“What do you like best, dogs or cats?”
Or can also pose a question.
7. Using And/Or
Sentence 1: “I am going to play.”
Sentence 2: “I am going to study.”
Using And to join:
“I am going to play, and I’m going to study.”
Using Or to join:
“ I am going to play, or I’m going to study.”
8. Using a Comma
Before every joining word, a comma (,)
must be used
Example:
“I like soup, and I like sandwiches.”
You also must check that a and/or can be
used by taking out the , and/, or and
replacing it with a period.
15. Putting it all together
Yellow Chickens
Purple sweater
Cloudy Sky
Stinky Cigarette
16. Using more than one adjective
In some cases, 2 adjectives may be used to
describe
Examples
“The car was boxy, and green.”
“ The thin, gray paper airplane was
indestructible.”
21. Proper Nouns
Something's OWN name
Include names, nicknames, pets names,
places names, city names, etc.
Proper Nouns also define
All proper nouns start with Capitals
Examples:
Joe vs. Person Jamestown vs. the city
26. 2 Parts Of a Sentence
Sentences are the building blocks of our
language
The 2 Main Parts are:
Subjects
Predicates
27. The Subject
Is the Noun of the sentence, The sentence is
also based upon the Noun
In, “The beautiful ballerina leaped into the air
like a deer.” Ballerina is the subject
In, “The Seminole Indians traveled over the
water in the dugout canals.”
The quickest way to find the subject is to
read the sentence carefully
The subject can be singular or plural and 1
or 2 words
28. The Predicate
The predicate names the verb in the
sentence that tells what is happening
In, “The beautiful ballerina leaped into the air
like a deer.” leaped is the predicate
In, “ The Seminole Indians traveled over
water in the dugout canals.” the predicate is
traveled.”
The easiest way to find the predicate is to
find what the subject is doing.
33. Getting Words to Agree
All plural subjects end with the letter “s”
Verbs in sentences with he and they do not
always indicate a plural.
**Remember
He Goes
They Go
34. Matching Plural Verbs
When you have a plural subject such as,
“five boys” you must give them a plural
verb such as, “run”
35. Verbs with <1 Part
Must agree in “Tense”
If the 1st
part is talking about the past the 2nd
part must do the same
If this rule is not followed, it will create a
time warp in the middle.
37. The 3 Main Types Of Sentences
Almost everything we say is said in
sentences.
There are interrogative, declarative, and
imperative sentences
38. Declarative Sentences
Are the most common type of sentence.

Are used to tell our thoughts, and what we
see.

“I have a dream . . .” as MLK Jr. once said.
“I saw a bird as beautiful as the summer sky
as it rises above the horizon.”
39. Interrogative Sentences
ALWAYS has a (?) question mark.
If you ask enough of them they become
self-explanatory.
“Do stars burn out ?”
“Why are my eyes colored ?”
“Why is global warming such a problem ?”
40. Imperative Sentences
May need more than 1 or 2 words.
Used to give orders and make requests.
Always ends in a (!) exclamation point if used to
make requests.
Always ends in (.) a period to give orders.
“Stop!”

** In many sentences YOU is not spoken but is
understood.

44. Fiction
Are make-believe, or fairytales such as

true parts with a twist, or true facts in a

true. But, the moon, gravity force, wind,
stars, yourself, a spaceshutle, etc.
