This document provides a template for a chart comparing the present simple and present continuous tenses in English. It includes prompts to fill in the form, uses, time expressions, and stative verbs for each tense. The form section addresses spelling rules and affirmative, negative, and interrogative structures. The uses section lists when each tense is used, such as for regular habits or ongoing actions. The time expressions section provides time words that can be used with each tense. The document also provides sources for additional information on stative verbs and examples of the tenses.
Semantic Roles
This document discusses semantic roles - the roles that words play within the context of a sentence. It defines several common semantic roles including agent, theme, instrument, experiencer, location, source and goal. For each role, it provides examples of words or phrases that fulfill that role in example sentences. The roles define how different entities are involved in or affected by the actions, events, perceptions or states described by the sentences.
Passive voice
This document discusses the passive voice in English. It defines the passive voice as using a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. The passive voice is used when the agent performing the action is unknown or unimportant. The document provides examples of transforming active voice sentences to the passive voice and examples of passive voice constructions in different tenses. It also explains the structure of a passive voice sentence and the steps to transform an active sentence to the passive.
15.02.21 Analysing Performance - Nexus of the four strands
This document discusses the four strands of dance performance: performer, movement, sound, and space. It provides information on notable movement theorists Rudolf Laban and Valerie-Preston Dunlop. Laban developed choreology, a system for analyzing and notating movement. The document then examines each of the four strands in detail, identifying elements like number and roles of performers, types of movement including actions and dynamics, components of sound like voice and music, and aspects of space such as set design and lighting. It emphasizes that these four strands are interconnected and form a nexus in dance performance.

This document discusses the passive voice in English. It provides examples of changing sentences from active to passive voice by:
1) Making the direct object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence.
2) Using the verb "to be" conjugated in the same tense as the active sentence and changing the main verb to the past participle form.
3) Adding "by" and making the original subject the agent following "by" in the passive construction.
Several tenses are discussed, including how to change sentences in the present, past, perfect, future, and with modal verbs to the passive voice. Five example sentences are provided in both active and passive forms.

Foundations of Grammar 20: What is a relative clause?
Relative clauses are subordinate clauses introduced by a relative pronoun like who, which, that to provide additional information about an antecedent. Relative pronouns refer back to a noun or pronoun previously mentioned and combine two related ideas into one sentence. Relative clauses cannot stand alone as they do not express a complete thought on their own.

Tema 1 iii
- Words can be made up of a single unit of meaning (morpheme) or can have a more complex structure through inflection, derivation, and compounding. Inflection involves adding suffixes to change word class or meaning. Derivation adds affixes to change word identity or class. Compounding combines word stems.
- Phrases group words into higher units and can contain other phrases. The head determines the phrase type as noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. Noun phrases contain a noun head and may take syntactic roles. Verb phrases center around a lexical verb and show tense.
Egt 2 classes of words in english
This document discusses the different types of words in English grammar. It explains that there are closed word classes like pronouns, determiners, primary verbs, modal verbs, prepositions, and conjunctions. These classes have a finite and relatively stable membership. There are also open word classes like nouns, adjectives, full verbs, and adverbs. These classes are constantly changing as new words are adopted. Most verbs relate to actions or states, but verbs denoting lack of motion can also be dynamic. The document then discusses operators in verb phrases and sentences.
The passive voice
1. The document discusses the difference between active and passive voice in language.
2. In active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb. In passive voice, the subject receives the action.
3. To form the passive voice in English, the object of the active sentence becomes the passive subject, the verb "to be" is added, and the original subject becomes an optional prepositional phrase introduced with "by".
4. The passive voice is used when the agent/doer of the action is unknown, or when the recipient/patient is more important than the agent.
Tenses
Tenses
TENSE
In the English literature history there are only three type of tenses. Tense present is the time & state of action.what work we have done. It tell us the time when the work has done/doing/will do.
An adjective that ends
Adjectives ending in -ING describe characteristics or states, while adjectives ending in -ED describe feelings or emotions that are temporary. -ED adjectives cannot describe objects or situations since only people experience feelings. Examples show -ED adjectives express how someone feels (e.g. "bored") while -ING describes a characteristic (e.g. "boring"). Care must be taken to use the correct adjective form since meanings differ greatly between confused/confusing and frightened/frightening. ED adjectives refer to feelings received while ING adjectives refer to sources of those feelings.
Verb analysis
The document discusses verb analysis and classification. It identifies two main types of verbs: principal verbs and helping verbs. Principal verbs are classified into five types based on their form, while helping verbs are classified into three types. The relationship between principal and helping verbs is shown in a table with arrows indicating which verb forms can be used with each type of helping verb. Several examples of verb tenses and their structures are provided, along with the forms of personal pronouns and details on classifying sentences as positive, negative, interrogative, or negative interrogative.
Passive voive
This document defines and explains the passive voice in English grammar.

It explains how to form the passive voice for simple present, present continuous, present perfect, and other tenses. It also discusses how to use the passive voice with modal verbs.
Verbs
Verb is a word that shows an action or state. There are several types of verbs:
- Stative verbs express a state rather than a physical action, and cannot be used in continuous tenses. Dynamic verbs express a physical action and can be used in all tenses.
- Main verbs are the most important verb in a clause. Helping verbs include auxiliaries like be, do, have and modals like can, may, must.
- Transitive verbs take an object, while intransitive verbs do not. Linking verbs link the subject to a complement or adjective.
- Verbs can be regular, forming the past tense with -ed, or irregular, with unpredictable past forms.
Sentence anatomy
This document discusses the key parts of a sentence including the verb, subject, predicate, object, transitive and intransitive verbs, adverbials, and complement. It provides examples and definitions for each part. The verb is the fundamental part of the sentence and shows the state of being or action. The subject is the person or thing the sentence is about. The predicate includes the verb and words after it describing the subject. Objects are affected by the verb and can be direct or indirect. Adverbials provide details about how an action was performed. Complements give more information about the subject or object.

Introduction
Virginia woolf, one of the prominent representative Of Modernist novelist in England, has contributed significantly to the development of modern novel in both theory and practice. She abandoned traditional fictional devices and formulated her own distinctive techniques. The novels of woolf tend to be less concerned with outward reality than with the inner life. Her masterpiece, to the Lighthouse, serves as an excellent sample in analyzing woolf’s literary theory and her experimental techniques.
Origin of the Word
The phrase “Stream of Consciousness” was coined by William James 1 to describe the flow of thoughts of the waking mind. Subsequently his phrase began to be used in a literary context to describe the narrative method by which certain novelists have described the unspoken thoughts and feelings of their characters, without resorting to objectives description or conventional dialogue. James Joyce was a pioneer in using this technique in his novels of which the best known are Ulysses and The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. And this technique was also used by Virginia Woolf. The related phrase “interior monologue” is used to describe the inner movement of Consciousness in a character’s mind. A famous example of the interior monologue is the opening pages of Mrs. Dalloway. The use of devices of the stream of Consciousness and the interior monologue marks a revolution in the form of the novel because through these devices the author can represent the flux of a character’s thoughts, impressions, and emotions and reminiscences, often without any logical Sequence.
Virginia Woolf and To The Lighthouse
When we mention Virginia Woolf’s ‘To The Lighthouse’, it’s very natural to talk about her stream of consciousness technique. In this novel, the structure of external objective events is demised in scope and scale, or almost e completely dissolved. It is composed of the continual activity of characters’ consciousness and shower of impressions. External events occupy little space in the novel the writer as an omniscient narrator has almost completely vanished and almost everything stated appears by the way of reflection in the consciousness of the dramatic characters and the novel does not progress on “what – happens – next” basis, but rather moves forward through a series of scenes arranged according to a sequence of selected moments of consciousness and the techniques to
Discourse analysis and grammar
This document discusses various cohesive devices in language including reference, substitution, and ellipsis. It defines reference as the relationship between linguistic expressions. There are three main types of reference: personal, demonstrative, and comparative. Substitution replaces words to avoid repetition, including nominal, verbal, and clausal substitution. Ellipsis omits elements assumed to be obvious from context. Conjunctions provide links between clauses and demonstrate relationships between different parts of a text. The document provides many examples to illustrate these cohesive devices.
Discourse analysis and grammar
The document provides an outline for a discourse analysis and grammar course. It includes sections on references, conjunction, theme and rheme, substitution and ellipsis, and tense and aspect. The document defines key terms related to discourse analysis and grammar such as anaphoric and cataphoric references, ideational and textual themes, and nominal, verbal, and clausal ellipsis. It also provides examples to illustrate concepts like conjunction types, theme and rheme, and substitution and ellipsis.
Communicative Function Of Texts
This is a brief xplanation of the different functions of texts, as well as the different rhetoric organizations they must follow depending on what the function they have.
Nouns
A noun is a word that names something: either a person, place, or thing. In a sentence, nouns can play the role of subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, object complement, appositive, or adjective.
Parts of speech
This document discusses parts of speech in English. It begins by defining what a part of speech is, which is a category assigned to words based on their syntactic functions. The main parts of speech in English are listed as noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. Each part of speech is then defined and examples are provided. Types of each part of speech are also defined, such as types of nouns including common nouns, proper nouns, concrete nouns, abstract nouns, and collective nouns. Classroom activities are suggested for teaching parts of speech as well.
Syntax
This document defines and categorizes the different parts of speech in syntax. It discusses lexical categories such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, determiners, prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions and auxiliary verbs. It also examines phrasal categories including noun phrases, verb phrases, adjective phrases, adverbial phrases and prepositional phrases. Examples are provided to illustrate different parts of speech and how they are arranged to form sentences.
Semantic
Semantic is the study of meaning in language. It examines meaning at several linguistic levels, including phonology, morphology, and lexical meaning. At the phonological level, sound symbolism refers to an association between a word's sound and its meaning. Morphology considers how word structure and morphemes convey different types of meaning, such as plurality, possession, and tense. Lexical meaning looks at open class words like nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, as well as closed class words like prepositions, determiners and conjunctions. Semantic explores meaning across these linguistic levels to understand how language communicates meaning.
Report 15b1sas1683.docx
This report analyzes clauses in the book "Teach English" by Adrian. The objectives are to collect nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs and analyze clause types - independent, dependent, adjective, noun. The book contains 24 units to develop teaching skills. Each unit has activities for teachers to practice techniques. The report defines parts of speech and clause types, classifies examples from the book, then concludes that adverbial time clauses are complex but important for defining language details. Mongolian conveys time meanings more concisely than English despite similar grammar structures.
