  1. A Review Grammar: The Essentials

  2. Noun • A noun is a person, place or thing • Ms. Thiellis a person so she is a noun • A basketball is a thing, so it is a noun • Charlotte, NC is a place, so it is a noun

  3. Pronoun • A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. It can be in one of three cases: • Subject • Object • Possessive • Alex’s bike is brand new. He saved his money for it all summer. We know the subject is Alex so we do not need to say his name again. Instead a pronoun (he, his) is used to reference Alex. We know that we are talking about the bike, so we use the pronoun (it) when we reference the bike.

  4. Adjectives • An adjective is a word that imputes a characteristic on a noun or pronoun • Adjectives are usually placed just before the words they qualify • The sunnyday Day is a noun (it’s a thing) and sunny describes the type of day it is, so it is an adjective • A skinnydog

  5. Verb • A verb asserts something about the subject of the sentence and express actions, events or states of being • Kelly ran home • Ms. Thiellis my teacher • The race begins at seven

  6. Adverb • An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phase or a clause • Some adverbs can be identified by the “ly” suffix • We waited patiently for the doctor • Conjunctive adverbs join two clauses together • Example: Furthermore, additionally, finally, consequently

  7. Interjection • An interjection is a word added to a sentence to convey emotion • Interjections are not grammatically related to any other part of the sentence • Interjections are usually followed with an exclamation mark • Wow! Those shoes are expensive.

  8. Conjunction • A conjunction is used to link words, phrases and clauses together • I would like to go, but I’m grounded • The cat is black and white • Tim will go to the movies if he gets permission

  9. Subject and Predicate • Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate • A subject is what the sentence is about (it’s a noun or pronoun) • A predicate tells something about the subject (includes a verb) • Janekicked the soccer ball Jane is the subject and kicked the soccer ball is the predicate

  10. Preposition • Prepositions links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence • John went to school • Kate ate during lunch • Your vocabulary is on the next slide
