This past week we also spent time on verbs.
We reviewed the fact that there are several kinds of verbs including predicates , linking verbs and helping or auxiliary verbs. We looked at two kinds of modals - gerunds and past and present participles. We considered verb tenses: past tense including past participle, present tense including present participle, and the future tense. We reviewed the fact that there are regular and irregular verbs. |
We reviewed / learned about adjectives (words that modify or describe nouns and noun phrases) adverbs (words that modify or describe verbs or verb phrases).
We practiced identifying subjects and objects in sentences, considered subject-verb agreement. We reviewed pronouns, too. Don't forget to use the correct pronouns for subjects and the correct pronouns for objects! |
We learned the acronym FANBOYS for coordinating conjunctions:
F = For A = And N = Nor B = But O = Or Y = Yet S = So These words work, sometimes with punctuation like the Oxford (or serial) comma to connect ideas in linked clauses, phrases or lists. There are, of course, other commas and the subordinating conjunctions, but we haven't got there yet (although clicking on the link will get you there!). |
