Adverbs

Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often describing how, when, where, or to what extent.

Conjunctive adverbs (THAMO: therefore, however, also, meanwhile, otherwise) connect independent clauses with transitional phrases.

Prepositions

Prepositions show relationships between nouns or pronouns and other words in a sentence.
Key prepositions include "inside," "through," and "in."

Subject Identification

The subject of a sentence is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb.
Examples include "Nakia's cousins," "Yondu," and "Vixen."

Verb Forms

The verb can be presented in various forms based on tense, subject agreement, and context.
Examples of verbs include "does," "likes," and "had."

Sentence Structure

Understanding complete sentences versus fragments is essential for proper grammar.
A fragment lacks a subject or verb, such as "Into the woods behind Eobard Thawne's house."

Ensures that the subject and verb in a sentence agree in number (singular or plural).
Example: "John Diggle's puppy and kitten don't get along very well."

The complete subject consists of all the words that tell who or what the sentence is about.
Examples include "The reporter and the camera crew" and "Hawkman's doctor, dentist, or trainer."
