1. Nouns
Words that refer to a person, animal, thing or an abstraqct idea. Nouns answer to the questions what and who. Nouns can function as subject or object.
Nouns can be: proper, common, abstract, concrete, animate, inanimate, colective, compound, countable and uncountable
Common: name a group of similar things. Ex: table, cars, people, dogs, etc.
Proper: refer to the name of a person, animal, thing or place. Ex: Paris
Abstract: idea, event, quatlity or concept. Ex. Love
Concrete: name something recognizable to the senses . Ex: bird
Compound: refer to 2 or more nouns combined to a single word: Ex fruit juice
Animate: person, animal, plant or other living creature. Ex: shark
Inanimate: refers to a material object. Ex: shoe
Collective: describes oa group of things or people as a unit. Ex : family
Countable: can be counted and have a singular and plural form. Ex: one dog / three dogs
1 3
Uncountable: Cannot be counted, are used only in singular. Ex: money
2. Pronouns Refer to a noun, an individual or
individuals or thing or things whose identity is made clear earlier in the text.
Types of Pronouns: Personal, demonstrative, relative, indefinite, intensive, reflexive, interrogative and reciprocal.
Personal Pronouns Pronouns that are associated primarily
with a particular grammatical person
Demonstrative Pronouns They identify or point to nouns:
this/that/these/those/such. For example:• That is incredible! (referring to something you just
saw)• I will never forget this. (referring to a recent
experience)• Such is my belief. (referring to an explanation just
made)
Relative Pronouns The relative pronouns (who/whoever/which/that)
relate groups of words to nouns or other pronouns (The student who studies hardest usually does the best.). The word who connects or relates the subject, student, to the verb within the dependent clause (studies)
Indefinite pronouns The indefinite pronouns (everybody/anybody /
somebody /all/each/every/some/none/one) do not substitute for specific nouns but function themselves as nouns
Example : Everybody is happy
Nobody went to the party
Intensive Pronouns The intensive pronouns (such as myself, yourself,
herself, ourselves, themselves) consist of a personal pronoun plus self or selves and emphasize a noun. Example:
I myself don't know the answer.
Reflexive pronouns The reflexive pronouns (which have the same
forms as the intensive pronouns) indicate that the sentence subject also receives the action of the verb. Ex: You paid yourself a million dollars. She encouraged herself to do well. What this means is that whenever there is a reflexive pronoun in a sentence there must be a person to whom that pronoun can "reflect."
Interrogative Pronouns The interrogative pronouns (who/which/what)
introduce questions. Like the relative pronouns, the interrogative pronouns introduce noun clauses, and like the relative pronouns, the interrogative pronouns play a subject role in the clauses they introduce. Ex: I know who that man is
Reciprocal Pronouns The reciprocal pronouns are each other (2
nouns) and one another (3 or more nouns). They are convenient forms for combining ideas
Ex: They gave each other books for Christmas
3. Phrasal verbs The term phrasal verb is commonly applied to
two or three distinct but related constructions in English: a verb and a particle OR ADVERB and/or a preposition co-occur forming a single semantic unit. This semantic unit cannot be understood based upon the meanings of the individual parts in isolation, but rather it can be taken as a whole
Prepositional Phrasal verbs
VERB + PREPOSITION
Particle Phrasal VerbsVERB + PARTICLE
Ex: bring upthink over
give inhand in
hang out
Particle Prepositional Phrasal Verbs
VERB + PARTICLE + PREPOSITIONEx:
Put up withLook forward toBear down onLoad down on
Transitive Phrasal Verbs Have a direct objectExamples: I find out the word (word: D.O.)
TRANSITIVE
Separable Inseparable
She looks after her baby
I turn on the radio I turn it on
Intransitive Phrasal Verbs Do NOT have a direct object
Example:
I get up at 6:00
The plane takes off at 7:00
4. Prepositional Phrases Prepositional phrases consist of a
preposition and an object of a preposition. Prepositions are indeclinable words that introduce the object of a prepositional phrase. Indeclinable words are words that have only one possible form.
A prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the object of the preposition.
A prepositional phrase will never contain the subject of a sentence
Examples: Noun: At home / on time
Pronoun: with me / from him/ to you
Gerund: by swimming
Clause: about what she was talking
Prepositional phrases can function as:
ADJECTIVES
ADVERBS
Answer to question:
which one?
Anwer to question: how,
when or , where
The girl in the classroom is
crying
Before school I
visited him
5. Indirect Objects The indirect object (I.O) of a sentence is
the recipient of the direct object (D.O) Example: Michelle gave her mother a rose
I.O D.O. Saul told her a secret
I.O. D.O
How to find an I.O? Before you can find the indirect object, you have
to find the direct object. You can find the direct object by finding the verb and asking what?. Once you've found the direct object, ask who or what received it?
Ex: Mary passed the salt to Luis What did she pass? The salt (D.O.) To whom did she pass the salt? To Luis (I.O)
