    Study Notes

    English Language Usage - Key Concepts

    • Slang Identification: "Bucks" is an example of slang in the sentence about purchasing a beret.
    • Subject-Verb Agreement: Correct usage seen in the sentence, "The lead scientist is the one who writes the reports; however, every scientist in the group does the research."
    • Thesis Statement Construction: A strong thesis presents a clear argument, illustrated by: "President Perez is our greatest leader because her proposal of a universal income will eradicate inequity among citizens."
    • Noun to Verb Transformation: The word pair "Apology, Apologize" demonstrates a noun becoming a verb with the addition of the suffix.

    Language Mechanics

    • Abnormality of Movement: "Dyskinesia" refers to an abnormality of movement.
    • Compound Sentence Punctuation: Correctly punctuated example: "The moonlight glowed white on the roof next door, and the sky was a gentle summer blue."
    • Quotation Punctuation: Proper citation format is shown in: "You should have never invited Shane to that party," said Jessica, "if you didn't want him to run into Blayne."
    • Sentence Completion with Lists: "I need an assistant who can do the following: input data, edit reports, and maintain the website," demonstrates proper colon usage.

    Writing Structure and Coherence

    • Topic Sentences: "Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease, in which bacteria causes inflammation of the gums," serves as a clear topic sentence.
    • Transition Sentences: The transition example "However, there were many other important trade items..." effectively leads into new information.
    • Organization of Paragraphs: The correct sequence to organize sentences is essential for clarity—III, IV, I, II respectively detailing McKinley’s assassination.
    • Direct and Indirect Objects: Example of an indirect object: "Jorge assigned the class some math problems," indicates a direct recipient of the action.

    Vocabulary and Word Parts

    • Correct Spellings Examples: "Millennium" is correctly spelled; "questionnaire" is the proper spelling of health history form.
    • Prefixes Meaning: "Supra-" denotes "above," as in "suprarenal" referring to above the kidneys.
    • Word Meanings: "Graceless" means lacking elegance, while "intraocular" refers to something within the eyes.
    • Synonyms: The word "superlative" is synonymous with "excellent."

    Writing Process and Citations

    • Writing Stages: Prewriting involves brainstorming and organizing ideas, not finalizing drafts or works cited pages.
    • Plagiarism Types: Examples of deliberate plagiarism include intentionally submitting another's work as your own.
    • Citations Requirement: Quoting another author's opinion necessitates proper citation to avoid plagiarism.

    Grammar and Usage

    • Subject-Pronoun Agreement: Correct usage in "Each of the cats has its own special hiding place" reflects proper agreement.
    • Homophones Identification: Errors may arise from confusing words like "peak" with "peek."
    • Common Spelling Rule Exceptions: Words like "neither" may not follow expected spelling patterns.
    • Pluralization Rules: The correct plural form of "chief" is "chiefs," while "monarchys" is incorrect.

    Contextual Understanding

    • Writing Styles and Settings: The medium for scientific discussion likely presented in a "Scientific journal article."
    • Conclusions from Passages: Understanding context can help deduce that "the writer is a professional in a business environment" based on analytical language.

    Sentence Construction

    • Combining Sentences: Properly blending sentences can improve clarity, e.g., "Because Min Jin roamed around the house, some days were just like that, and she could not get settled."
    • Punctuation Errors: Identifying correct vs. incorrect punctuation enhances sentence structure and readability.

    Utilize these key points for review, ensuring a strong grasp on English language usage concepts and writing mechanics.### Homographs and Quotations

    • Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings or sounds.
    • Example sentences include tear (to rip) and tear (a drop of liquid from the eye).

    Punctuation and Grammar

    • Compound sentences contain at least two independent clauses joined by a comma and conjunction.
    • Correct punctuation for quotations includes appropriate placement of commas and quotation marks.
    • Commas in lists should separate items clearly, and unnecessary commas can disrupt sentence flow.

    Sentence Types

    • Compound sentences consist of multiple independent clauses, while complex sentences include at least one dependent clause.
    • Simple sentences contain a subject and a verb, expressing a complete thought.

    Transitions and Language Styles

    • Transition words help clarify relationships between ideas; use “although” to contrast fears with expectations.
    • Colloquial language may be informal or conversational and may not be suitable for academic writing.

    Subject-Verb Agreement

    • Subject-verb agreement requires the subject and verb to match in number (singular/plural).
    • Misagreements can occur if the subject is part of a phrase that complicates its apparent number.

    Writing Process

    • The writing process includes brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and citing sources.
    • Each step is crucial for developing clear and effective communication.

    Sources and Citations

    • Primary sources provide direct evidence, while secondary sources interpret or analyze primary sources.
    • Proper citation is necessary to give credit and avoid plagiarism.

    Effective Communication

    • Choose language and tone appropriate for the audience and context (formal for academic or professional settings).
    • Prepare adequately for communications like interviews by practicing responses and dressing appropriately.

    Key Sentence Characteristics

    • Identifying topic sentences and transitions improves paragraph structure.
    • Irrelevant sentences disrupt flow, so ensure every sentence relates to the main idea.

    Revision and Clarity

    • Revising involves refining ideas and clarifying connections between thoughts.
    • Proofreading ensures grammatical correctness and clarity of expression.### Academic Writing and Citation
    • Citations maintain consistency in academic papers based on the author's established style.
    • A bibliography lists sources used, typically found in research papers, such as those on significant historical events like the Great Migration.

    Plurals and Correct Forms

    • The correct plural form of words is crucial for grammatical accuracy.
    • Examples of incorrectly spelled plurals include "chieves," "prooves," and "razores." The correct plural is "halves."

    Word Parts and Their Meanings

    • Understanding word components helps define complex terms; "suprarenal" means "above the kidney."

    Suffixes and Word Modification

    • The suffix transforms root words into adjectives; "childlike" is an example where the root "child" becomes descriptive.

    Vocabulary Definitions

    • "Omnipotent" is defined as "all-powerful," highlighting the breadth of its meaning in contexts such as theology or literature.

    Punctuation in Possessive Nouns

    • Proper punctuation for possessive nouns is essential for clarity:
      • "The baby's bibs" indicates possession correctly.
      • "Clients' complaints" reflects multiple clients possessing complaints.

    Synonyms and Vocabulary Strength

    • A synonym for "reiterate" is "repeat," showing the importance of word variety in communication.
