Seven Parts of noun - A noun is a person, thing or place. e.g. mother, apple, mountain… verb - A verb describes an action or a state of being. e.g. walk, run, jump, be, do, have, think. pronoun - A pronoun replaces a noun, so we don’t have to repeat it. e.g. I, me, she, hers, he,

him, it, you, they, them… adjective - An adjective describes something (a noun). e.g. big, cold, blue, silly… (One special

type of adjective is an article, a word that introduces a noun and also limits or clarifies it; in English, the indefinite articles are a and an, the definite article is the.)

adverb - An adverb says "how," "when," "where," or "how much". e.g. easily, warmly, quickly, mainly, freely, often, unfortunately…

preposition - A preposition shows how something is related to another word. It shows the time, space or logical relationship of an object to the rest of the sentence. e.g. above, near, at, by, after, with, from…

conjunction - A conjunction joins other words, phrases or sentences. e.g. and, as, because, but, or, since, so, until, and while.

interjection - An interjection is a word that expresses emotion. They often start a sentence but it can be contained within a sentence or can stand alone. e.g. oh, wow, ugh, hurray, eh, ah etc...

Family relationship names if they come before the name, e.g. Aunt Iris, Grandpa James.

Commas are used when there is a list of words in a sentence.e.g. *We will need hammers, nails and a saw.She stopped, cried and ran.*Mr Cherry was a warm, lovely man.*Sam frightened the cat, chased the dog and annoyed his mother.

Commas are used to break up longer sentences into smaller parts to make more sense.e.g. *When he saw Monster Island, the captain warned the other sailors on his ship.*She called as loudly as possible, but no-one could hear her.

Commas can separate any extra information that is added. The words between the commas could be left out without changing the general meaning of the sentence.e.g. *Paul, our star player, broke his leg at the football match on Saturday.(Paul broke his leg at the football match on Saturday.)*The man, who was wearing a blue hat, walked silently into the room.(The man walked silently into the room.)

Commas break up groups of numbers into thousands.e.g. *1,999,999

Commas are used when writing a date.e.g. *February 14th, 1999.

Commas are used inside speech marks.e.g. *“We are leaving tomorrow,” said Fred.

All students should now be able to spell all of these words.

Comma Rules

14

Adverbs are usually formed by adding –ly to an adjective, although there are sometimes some changes in spelling...

bad badlyslow slowly

quick quickly

“-le” changes to “-ly” gentle gently“-y” changes to “-ily” easy easily“-ic” changes to “-ically” automatic automatically“-ue” changes to “-uly” true truly“-ll” changes to “-lly” full fully

When an adjective ends in –ly you can´t form the adverb adding –ly. You have to use a prepositional phrase instead.He smiled at me in a friendly way

She did it in the right way.

*Some adverbs have the same from as the adjective:FAST - He is a fast runner He runs very fast

HARD - It was a hard day She worked very hard.LATE - He is always late The train arrived late.

*The adverb of the adjective “good” is “well”.She is a good singer She sings well.*“Hardly” and “lately” are not adverbs of manner. They have a different meaning from hard and late.e.g. She can hardly see the street… Has it rained lately?

With some verbs like “be”, “become”, “feel”, “get”, “look” and “seem” you must use an adjective instead of an adverb.e.g. She looked very happy... They felt really tired… She got very angry when she found out what had happened during her absence.

Forming

*Used to talk about a period:Four hours / a month / Two weeks/ three days / Two years / a long time / six minutes *We can leave out for, but not usually in negatives.*We don´t use for + all…(all day / night / my life etc.)

*Used to express the start of a time period (eleven o’clock, sunday, 2007…)e.g. He’s been waiting since 4 o’clock / It’s (a long time / two days / ages etc…) since I saw Mary. / How long is it since you saw Mary?

While + subject +verbe.g. She felt ill while she was doing an exam / They had an accident while they were driving to Shenhen / I saw Paul while I was waiting for the bus this morning.

Before (not ago) is used with the past perfect.e.g. I had finished the exam before the bell rang / Mum had made breakfast before I got up / They had bought the tickets before i arrived at the cinema.

*During + noun is used to say when something happens (not how long)e.g. I saw Paul during the concert / She went to the museum during the summer / Alan learnt to drive during his holidays / It’s been snowing during the whole week.

Ago is used to talk the past measured from the present. we put it after the expression of time. (‘Two months ago’ means two months before now.)e.g. I met sue three years ago / How long ago did you go to the dentist? / I went a month ago.
