    Study Notes

    Grammar Concepts in HESI A2

    • Correct Sentence Structure

      • Commas are essential in separating independent and dependent clauses.
      • Future actions necessitate future verb forms, e.g., "will perform."

    • Word Usage and Context

      • "Itinerant" refers to traveling and is often confused with "iterate," which means to repeat.
      • Recognizing incorrect word usage: "lay" should be "laid," as the past form of lay is transitive.

    • Pronouns and Agreement

      • Use subject pronouns (e.g., "she") when the pronoun functions as the subject of the verb.
      • Singular vs. plural: Use "datum" (singular) vs. "data" (plural).
      • Reflexive pronouns must refer back to the subject noun, e.g., "oneself."

    • Clauses and Punctuation

      • Introductory clauses require a comma before the main clause to enhance clarity.
      • Correct punctuations, such as semicolons and commas, help in sentence separation and improve readability.

    • Spelling and Meaning

      • Words like "stationery" (paper) versus "stationary" (not moving) highlight the need for correct spelling based on context.
      • „Advice“ (recommendation) must not be confused with "advise" (to recommend).

    • Verb Tenses and Consistency

      • Maintain consistent verb tenses throughout sentences, especially when referencing past and present actions.
      • Infinitives should be used correctly as in "to meet," not "be met."

    • Clarity in Communication

      • Sentences should be structured clearly to avoid ambiguity, ensuring that actions are directly associated with subjects.
      • Misplaced phrases can lead to unclear meanings, emphasizing the importance of sentence organization.

    • Identifying Errors

      • Understanding misused words, such as confusing "too" (excessively) with "to" (preposition).
      • Recognizing incorrect adjective forms (e.g., "initial" must be "initially" in certain contexts).

    • Grammatical Functions

      • Object pronouns are essential when they receive the action of the verb, ensuring correct case usage.
      • The focus on the direct object in sentences, as seen in clarifications about possessive forms.

    • Common Mistakes

      • Errors in verb agreement based on the subject's number, e.g., singular subject matched with singular verb forms.
      • Misleading phrases and clauses that can distort the intended meaning of sentences unless rearranged correctly.

    These concepts synthesize essential grammar rules and common pitfalls outlined in the HESI A2 flashcards, providing a foundation for effective written communication.
