Adverb

• An ADVERB can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a clause.

• An adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause, or degree and answers questions such as "how," "when," "where," or "how much".

Articles

• ARTICLES are the way we introduce or address a subject

• When words start with a vowel letter they receive “an” in front of the word

• When words start with a consonant they receive “A” in front of them

Articles Cont’d

• When talking about a GENERAL subject the word will also receive “A” in front of it.

• If there is a SPECIFIC subject in particular that is being spoken about, there will be “THE” in front of the subject

• Example: Please pass a fruit to this end of the table.

• This means the speaker would like any piece of fruit passed to the side of the table where they are sitting.

Just in Case…

• In case you were unclear about Articles, here is another explanation and example.

Articles

• Articles can also depend on whether or not the item is specifically being spoken about or generally being spoken about.

• So, at the dinner table if you are as more “a” apple, someone may hand you a bowl of apples to choose from since there are so many.

• But, if you asked someone for “the” ketchup, you will get the only bottle of ketchup on the table. This is because you are referring to THE only bottle of ketchup on the table.

A or An…

Articles- “The” or “A”

• “The” is used when referring to a specific item, the item in particular to which you may be pointing at or referring to

• Ex: “Would you please pass the ketchup?”• “a” is used when referring to a general

item, not specifically one item, but the bunch

• Ex: “Would you please pass a sea cucumber?”

At a dinner party, how would you ask for…

• Fork

• Lettuce

• Salt

• Pepper

• Pig guts

• Small child

• shoe

Pronoun

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koZFca8AkT0

Pronoun

• A PRONOUN is what replaces the noun of a sentence with a general term or specific name.

• Without a pronoun, writing and reading would become and long and repetitive process.

Interjections

Interjection

• HEY! Pay attention please,

• INTERJECTIONS convey emotion to a reader from a sentence

• Words that act as a surprise or some form of immediate disruption

Come up with a Sentence

Conjunction

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPoBE-E8VOc

Conjunction

• CONJUNCTION is used to bring individual words or phrases together as well as independent clauses

• An Independent Clause is a sentence that can be a sentence on its own without another part added on

• EX: Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz.

Verb

Verbs

• VERB is a word that is used to convey action in a sentence.

Give an Action for the Following,

Preposition

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfExXGMX2JM

Preposition

• A PREPOSITION describes the space between two objects or the time between two events. Below are examples of different prepositional phrases. Card 5 displays Time prepositions and Card 14 displays Spatial Prepositions

Spatial Prepositions

• Prepositions can easily be remembered as “what a rabbit can do to a log”

• A rabbit can sit “on” a log.

• A rabbit can stand “behind” a log.

• A rabbit can hide “under” a log.

• This same idea can be applied to events in regards to the time they occur.

Time Prepositions

• A way of understand how time prepositions work is by asking yourself, what you have learned “since” you began viewing this Powerpoint?

• Time prepositions can be also confused with spatial prepositions as some are similar (but not the same).

• “On” Friday, I will have dinner with a friend. (time prepostion “on”)

• The rabbit sat on the log. (spatial preposition “on”)
