  3. Character Foil • In fiction, a foil is a character who contrasts with another character (usually the protagonist) • In Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt is a foil for Romeo.

  5. There are 8 parts of speech • Noun • Pronoun • Adjective • Verb • Adverb • Conjunction • Preposition • Interjection

  6. Match the Part of Speech with its Definition • a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing, and abstract idea • a word that replaces a noun or a pronoun • A word that modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words • a word that express actions or states of being • a word that answers questions such as "how," "when," "where," "how much“ or “to what degree” • A word that links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence • words that link words, phrases, and clauses • a word that shows strong emotion _____1. Adjective _____2. Interjection _____3. Verb _____4. Conjunction _____5. Pronoun _____6. Preposition _____7. Noun _____8. Adverb

  7. Pronoun/Antecedent Agreement • A pronoun replaces a noun. We call that noun an antecedent. • A pronoun must agree in number (singular/plural) and gender (male/female) with the noun it is replacing. The student studied their vocabulary. The student studied his/her vocabulary.

  8. Indefinite Pronouns Indefinite pronouns refer to an unknown or undetermined person, place or thing. And here’s where it gets tricky: • You must identify whether the pronoun is singular or plural so you can be sure it agrees in number and gender with the antecedent or the noun it replaces.

  9. Indefinite Pronouns Always singular: Another Nothing Anyone Each Anybody Either Anything No one Everyone Neither Everybody Nobody Everything One Nothing Someone Somebody Something

  10. Indefinite Pronouns Always Plural: Both Few Many Several

  11. Indefinite Pronouns These indefinite pronouns can be either singular or plural depending on how they are used in the sentence. All Most Some None Any

  12. Example #1 The professor said that everyone must turn in his or her test now. • You want to use his or her because the indefinite pronoun, everyone, is singular. You need to use both sexes in this instance because everyone is third person, but it's not gender specific. • Make sure that you do not use their to refer to everyone in this sentence because then the sentence would not agree in number.

  13. Example #2 • All of the sophomores showed their Charger spirit at the pep rally. • All can be either singular or plural but here it refers to the sophomores (plural) so the pronoun their agrees in number with the plural all.

  14. Example #3 Neither Jason nor Donna wants to give up his or her tickets to the show. Neither is always singular and because the antecedent is both male and female, the pronouns must also be male and female.

  15. Oops! I Did It Again! • In an interview with Matt Lauer, Britney Spears explained that neither the tabloids nor motherhood have taken their toll on her good spirits. • This sentence contains two errors: • Subject-verb agreement • Pronoun-antecedent agreement When conjunctions such as "neither" and "nor" are used in a sentence, the subject closer to the verb and the pronoun determines the number of those words. Crossing off everything from "neither" to "nor" may help in identifying the subject. In an interview with Matt Lauer, Britney Spears explained that neither the tabloids nor motherhood has taken its toll on her good spirits.

  16. Actress Named to U.N. The United Nations announced that Naomi Watts will be their new special envoy on HIV/AIDS. The antecedent, "the United Nations," is an organization; names of organizations, groups, and name brands, as well as titles of works (books, paintings, plays, musical compositions), are singular. • The United Nations announced that Naomi Watts will be its new special envoy on HIV/AIDS.

  17. Now You Try It! Practice pronoun/antecedent agreement using indefinite pronouns on the handout.
