Study Notes
Sentence Structure
- Defined as the grammatical arrangement of words in sentences, affecting both the visual and auditory aspects of communication.
- Key elements of sentence structure include the subject, verb, and object.
- Subject: Identifies "who" or "what" the sentence is about, typically a noun (e.g., "dog," "Alice").
- Verb: Describes the action performed by the subject (e.g., "runs," "sings").
- Object: Answers "whom" or "what" the action is directed toward (e.g., "ball," "song").
- Example: "Alice (subject) sings (verb) a beautiful song (object)."
Phrases and Clauses
- Phrase: A group of words that adds detail but cannot stand alone as a sentence.
- Example: "Under the bright moon"
- Clause: Contains both a subject and a verb; may or may not stand alone.
- Example: "When the sun rises" (dependent), "She runs" (independent).
- Key difference: Phrases cannot constitute a sentence while some clauses can.
Components of a Sentence
- A complete sentence requires at least a subject and a predicate.
- Predicate: Includes the verb and all other details describing the action.
- Components of a sentence: Subject, verb, object, complement, and adjunct.
- Example of a simple subject: "The child kept crying."
Verbs
- Types of Verbs:
- Action verbs: Express actions (e.g., "writing," "smiled").
- Linking verbs: Connect the subject to additional information (e.g., "is," "was").
- Auxiliary (Helping) verbs: Assist main verbs in constructing tenses or moods (e.g., "are," "have").
- Verbs indicate physical and mental actions as well as states of being.
Subject-Verb Agreement
- Essential for grammatical correctness that subjects and verbs in a sentence agree in number (singular/plural).
Listening and Note-Taking
- Active Listening: Involves attention, understanding, and critical thinking about the speaker's message.
- Note-taking: Helps clarify understanding and organize thoughts, enhances memory retention, and assesses comprehension.
- Strategies include using symbols, abbreviations, and concept maps.
Moods of Verb
- Indicative Mood: States facts or opinions.
- Imperative Mood: Issues commands or requests.
- Subjunctive Mood: Expresses wishes, hypotheticals, or recommendations, often using the base form of verbs (e.g., "have" instead of "has").
Present Subjunctive Form
- Formed with the base verb and typically used with noun clauses starting with “that.”
- Example request: "I ask that he have the report ready by tomorrow," demonstrating the usage of the subjunctive mood.
