NOUN
A noun is a word used to
name a person, place, thing,
or idea
Types of Nouns
 Singular- a word used to name one
person, place, thing, or idea
 Plural- a word used to name more
than one person, place, thing, or idea
 Q: What is the easiest way to make a
singular noun plural?
 A: Add an –s or –es to the end of it!
Types of Nouns
 Proper- a word used to name a
particular person, place, thing, or
idea; this noun is usually capitalized
 Common- names any one of a group
of persons, places, things, or ideas,
and is not capitalized
Types of Nouns
 Concrete- names an object that can
be perceived by the senses (most
likely is tangible)
 Abstract- names an idea, a feeling, a
quality, or a characteristic (cannot be
physically touched)
Types of Nouns
 Collective- names a group; although
it contains individual members, it is
identified as a singular noun.
 Compound- consists of two or more
words used together as a single
noun; they may be written as one
word, two or more words, or as a
hyphenated word.
Pronouns
 Pronouns- a word used in place of
one or more nouns or pronouns
 Personal Pronouns
Singular Plural
First Person I, my, mine, me We, our, ours, us
Second Person You, your, yours You, your, yours
Third Person He, his, him,
she, her, hers,
it, its
They, their, theirs,
them
Pronouns
 Reflexive Pronouns
 There is no such word as “hisself.” The grammatically
correct reflexive pronoun is himself.
Singular Plural
First Person Myself Ourselves
Second Person Yourself Yourselves
Third Person Himself,
Herself, Itself
Themselves
Pronouns
 Interrogative Pronouns- used to begin
questions
Interrogative: who, whom, whose, which,
what
 Demonstrative Pronouns- used to point out
a specific person, place, thing, or idea
Demonstrative: this, that, these, those
 Indefinite Pronouns- used to refer to
people, places, things, or ideas in general;
frequently used without antecedents
Indefinite: all, any, either, many, none, etc.
Pronoun and Antecedent
A pronoun usually refers to a noun
that comes before it. This noun, called
an antecedent, gives the pronoun its
meaning.
Example: Thomas closed his book and
put it down.
his refers to the antecedent “Thomas”;
it refers to the antecedent “book”
Pronoun and Antecedent
Pronouns and Antecedents must
match in number.
Example: The coach showed the players
how they should throw the ball.
They refers to the antecedent “players.”
Since players is plural, the plural
pronoun must be used.
Pronoun and Antecedent
 A pronoun may appear in the same
sentence as its antecedent or in a
following sentence.
Example: Have the birds flown south
yet? They should start migrating
soon.
Example: Lee hit a home run. It was his
first of the season.
Adjectives
Adjective- a word used to modify (describe
or make more definite) a noun or pronoun
Adjectives will answer at least one of the
following FIVE questions:
1.Which one?
2.What kind?
3.How many?
4.How much?
5.Whose?
Adjectives usually precede the words they
modify (unlike other languages).
Adjectives
 The most frequently used adjectives are
called ARTICLES.
 Indefinite Articles are used for any general
noun. They are “A” and “AN.”
 Q: How do you know when to use “A” and
when to use “AN”?
 A: Look at the word that follows and
choose:
A= word beginning with a consonant
sound
AN= word beginning with a vowel sound
Adjectives
 Use the Definite Article “THE” to
indicate someone or something in
particular.
 Q: How do you know when to use
“THE”, and not “A” and/or “AN”?
 A: It can precede any word,
regardless of the initial sound, but
must indicate something in particular
Verbs
 Verb- a word used to express an
action or a state of being (a form of
the word “be”)
 ACTION VERBS- express physical or
mental activity; it’s what you do!
 There are two types of ACTION verbs:
Transitive and Intransitive
Types of Action Verbs
 Transitive Verbs- action verbs that
express action directed toward a
person or thing named in the
sentence
Example: Neil rang the bell.
 Intransitive Verbs- action verbs that
express action without passing the
action from a doer to a receiver
Example: The children laughed.
Types of Verbs
 Linking Verbs- a verb that connects
the subject to a word that identifies
or describes it
Example: The answer is three.
 Many linking verbs can be used as
action (nonlinking) verbs as well.
Example: The wet dog smelled horrible.
The dog smelled the bread.
Verb Phrases
 Verb phrases- consist of a main verb
preceded by at least one helping verb (also
known as an auxiliary verb)
 VP= HV + AV
 All forms of the verb be are helping verbs:
Am Are Were Being
Is Was Be Been
Helping Verbs
 Besides all forms of the verb be, helping
verbs include:
Have Do Shall Would Must
Has Does Will May Can
Had Did Should Might Could
Most common forms of be
 Present:
 Past:
Singular Plural
1st person I am We are
2nd person You are You are
3rd person He/She/It is They are
Singular Plural
1st person I was We were
2nd person You were You were
3rd person He/She/It was They were
Verb Tenses
 Present tense- there is no distinctive
form by which it can be recognized, other
than the –e(s) ending used with 3rd
person singular pronouns (he, she, it) or
the noun for which a 3rd person singular
pronoun can substitute
Example: John looks terrific.
He
 The only two verbs irregular in 3rd person
singular are be (is) and have (has).
Verb Tenses
 Past tense- there are typically two
main ways to form the past tenses,
called regular and irregular
 Regular: formed by adding –(e)d
Dictionary form Past tense form
Pass Passed
Cough Coughed
Smile Smiled
Dread Dreaded
Verb Tenses
 Irregular: do not add the –(e)d
ending but instead change the vowel
of the dictionary form
Dictionary form Past tense form
Dig Dug
Ring Rang
Freeze Froze
See Saw
Run Ran
Verb Tenses
Caution:
 There are verbs with past tenses that are
a mixture of regular and irregular forms,
i.e., they have both a vowel change and a
regular ending (sell-sold).
 There is a group of verbs that have no
distinct past tense form at all; the verbs
in this group are single-syllable verbs that
end in –t or –d; for example hit-hit; slit-
slit; cut-cut; rid-rid; shed-shed.
Is it a VERB?
 Two very simple tests:
1. Recast the word in past tense.
2. Add will to form a future tense.
Examples:
Sentence: The children love New York.
Past tense: The children loved New York.
Will: The children will love New York.
Sentence: Children love spinach.
Past tense: Children love spinached.
Will: Children love will spinach.
Adverbs
 Adverb- a word used to modify a
verb, an adjective, or another adverb
Adverbs will answer at least one of
the following FIVE questions:
1.Where?
2.When?
3. How?
4. Why?
5. To what extent?
Adverbs
 Asking “to what extent” means how far,
how often, and so on.
 Adverbs also have three forms to show
comparison:
 Add –er or more to form the comparative.
 Add –est or most to form the superlative.
Positive Comparative Superlative
Big Bigger Biggest
Fast Faster Fastest
Late Later Latest
Adverbs
 The easiest way to recognize adverbs is
to look for words ending in –ly. Be
careful; ask the five questions to
double-check the word usage.
 If a word is normally considered a noun,
but answers one of the five questions, it
should be labeled as adverb.
Adjectives and Adverbs
 Please remember, if you locate a word
that modifies a noun or pronoun, it is an
adjective. If you locate a word that
modifies that adjective, it is considered
an adverb (not another adjective).
Adjective Adverb
Nouns Verbs
Pronouns Adjectives
Adverbs
Adverbs
 Some of the most common adverbs
are:
Quite Very Much Too
Rather Not Never -n’t
Prepositions
 Preposition- a word used to show the
relationship of a noun or pronoun to
some other word(s) in the sentence
 A preposition ALWAYS introduces a
phrase. The noun or pronoun that
ends the prepositional phrase is
called the object of the preposition.
…………………….(PREP…..N/PR)………………..
Prepositions
 Prepositions cannot stand alone!
 A prepositional phrase starts with a
preposition and ends with the first noun
or pronoun that follows that preposition.
 PLEASE NOTE: Some words on the list
of prepositions may also be used as
adverbs. Remember than an adverb is a
modifier and does NOT take an object!
Ask the adverb questions!
Prepositions
 Please be cautious of compound
prepositions. These are prepositions
that are made up of several words,
but counted as one preposition.
EXAMPLES: as of today; in addition to
the assignment; next to Fred; in spite
of your objections; aside from that; in
case of an accident, etc…
Preposition or Adverb?
 Prepositions have objects; adverbs
don’t!
EXAMPLES:
Pr. V
. ADV.
1. I went inside.
Pr. V
. Prep. Adj. N.
2. I went(inside the house).
Types of Prepositional Phrases
 Adjective- refers to a noun or
pronoun; tells which one or what kind
EXAMPLES:
1. The squirrel in the tree attacked me.
2. Let’s take a picture of that squirrel.
 Sometimes there are more than one
prepositional phrase in a row
EXAMPLE:
1. We bought tickets for the trip to the museum.
Types of Prepositional Phrases
 Adverb- refer to a verb, adjective or
adverb; tell where, when, or how
VERB: The squirrel ran past us.
ADJECTIVE: The squirrel is small in size.
ADVERB: We arrived late for class.
 Sometimes more than one prepositional
phrase modifying the same word
In the afternoon, we went to your home.
Conjunctions
 Conjunction- joins words or groups of
words
 THREE TYPES:
1. Join words or groups of words together as
equals (coordinating)
2. Considered two-part conjunctions, used
with words and phrases (correlative)
3. Join groups unequally, that is that
subordinate one group of words to
another (subordinating)
Coordinating Conjunctions
 There are 7 coordinating conjunctions:
 The conjunctions and and or are used to
join words, phrases, and sentences.
Examples: John and Mary, apples or oranges
 The remaining conjunctions are normally
used to join sentences.
Example: He went to Chicago and New York.
And But Or Nor
For Yet So
Correlative Conjunctions
 Words may come before, between,
and/or after the correlative
conjunctions.
EXAMPLES:
Either Mary loves John, or Alicia loves Fred.
Mary went not only up the stairs, but also down
the hall.
Both… and Either… or Not only… but also
Whether… or Neither… nor
Interjections
 Interjection- a word used to express
emotion. It has no grammatical relation
to the rest of the sentence.
 Interjections are set off by exclamation
points (!) to indicate strong emotion
and/or commas (,) indicate mild
emotion or indifference.
EXAMPLES:
Hey! Be careful of that wire!
Well, I guess that’s that!
