We look at each word to see what kind of word it is, we look at the two sides of the idea in the sentence, we look for little word groups called phrases, and we look to see if the sentence has one clause or more than one clause. This book will give you practice thinking this way. The method for doing this is called four-level analysis, after the four levels just mentioned. Their names are parts of speech (the eight kinds of words), parts of the sentence, phrases, and clauses. There are one hundred sentences in this book. Each sentence is on its own page. You can either print the sentence pages, use the downloadable blank four-level analysis page that comes with this book and make copies of it, or simply write each sentence on a piece of paper. There is a complete list of all one hundred sentences at the end of the book. Then, beneath each sentence, write the abbreviations for the parts of speech below each word in the first line, the parts of sentence in the second, phrases in the third, and clauses in the fourth. For phrases and clauses, make little lines to show where the phrase or clause begins and ends. At the bottom of the page, there is a place to write a comment about anything you think is interesting or fun about the sentence. 6 5  Copyright © Royal Fireworks www.rfwp.com Licensed to Evelyn Darius on 2024-08-28 12:30:40 The abbreviations used here are: Parts of Speech n. noun pron. pronoun adj. adjective v. verb adv. adverb prep. preposition conj. conjunction interj. interjection Parts of Sentence subj. subject AVP action verb predicate LVP linking verb predicate BVP being verb predicate D.O. direct object I.O. indirect object S.C. subject complement Phrases prep. prepositional (phrase) app. appositive (phrase) ger. gerund (phrase) par. participial (phrase) inf. infinitive (phrase) Clauses indep. independent (clause) dep. dependent (clause) 7 6  Example Sentence We walked away, but two birds sang songs about us. pron. v. adv. conj. adj. n. v. n. prep. pron. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ subj.

Each clause has an action verb, but only the second action verb passes the action to a direct object.  Copyright © Royal Fireworks www.rfwp.com Licensed to Evelyn Darius on 2024-08-28 12:30:40 Parts of Speech: There are only eight kinds of words, and they are called the parts of speech. The two main words are the noun and verb, and the other six support them. Every word in every sentence is one of these eight kinds. In a sentence, the verb is about the noun; it says something about the noun. These are the two main kinds of words in our thinking. 9 8  Copyright © Royal Fireworks www.rfwp.com Licensed to Evelyn Darius on 2024-08-28 12:30:40 Parts of Sentence: Every sentence has two sides: the subject side and the predicate side. A noun or pronoun will be the main subject word, and the verb will be the main predicate word. If the verb is an action verb, then it may pass the action on to a direct and indirect object (The duck ate the flower), but if the verb is a linking verb, then it may make an equation between the subject and the subject complement (The bird is a duck). These elements are explained in detail in Grammar Voyage and Essay Voyage. 10 9  Copyright © Royal Fireworks www.rfwp.com Licensed to Evelyn Darius on 2024-08-28 12:30:40 Phrases: A phrase is a little group of words that go together and act like a single part of speech. There are several kinds of phrases, including prepositional, appositive, and verbal phrases. Prepositional phrases begin with prepositions and act as modifiers: The old ship was at the dock. Appositive phrases are interrupting definitions that act like adjectives: The Belle, a wooden sailing ship, pointed toward the horizon. The verbal phrases are based on verb forms that are not used as verbs but as something else. There are three kinds: gerunds, participles, and infinitives. 11 10  Copyright © Royal Fireworks www.rfwp.com Licensed to Evelyn Darius on 2024-08-28 12:30:40 Clauses: A clause is a group of words that has a subject and predicate as its nucleus (in its center). A clause might have only two words, the subject and its predicate, or it might have many other words. A clause that makes sense all by itself is called independent, and a clause that does not make sense unless it is attached to another clause is called dependent. In the following sentence, there are two clauses, and the subject and predicate in each one are in bold type: The captain barked orders, and the crew sprang to action. ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- 12 11  Sentence 1 Yes, the combination of wind and waves damaged the ship badly.
