The document discusses the different types of verbs in English including action verbs, transitive verbs, intransitive verbs, finite verbs, non-finite verbs, dynamic verbs, stative verbs, regular verbs, irregular verbs, and auxiliary verbs. Examples are provided for each type of verb to illustrate their meaning and usage in sentences. Key types are action verbs that show an action, transitive verbs that take a direct object, and irregular verbs that do not follow standard conjugation patterns.
The document discusses different types of pronouns including personal pronouns like subject and object pronouns, possessive pronouns, indefinite pronouns, reflexive pronouns, and intensive pronouns. It provides examples of how to use each type correctly and activities for the reader to practice identifying and using pronouns.
This document discusses transitive and intransitive verbs. A transitive verb denotes an action that passes from the subject to an object, and can be converted to passive voice. Examples include "She made pizza" and "The boy cut his hand." An intransitive verb denotes an action without an object and cannot be converted to passive voice. Examples include "The sun shines" and "The train stopped." To identify verb types, check if the sentence has an object or can be made passive. This helps determine if the verb is transitive or intransitive.
An adjective clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a noun or pronoun. It is introduced by a relative pronoun such as who, whom, whose, which, or that, or by a relative adverb such as when, where, why, or how. An adjective clause can modify the subject, a noun in the predicate, a direct object, an indirect object, or an object of a preposition. The relative pronoun or adverb can sometimes be omitted in spoken English.
The document discusses the use of articles (a/an, the) in English. It explains that articles are either definite or indefinite and combine with nouns to indicate the type of reference. The indefinite article (a/an) is used the first time something is mentioned or with plural nouns like jobs. The definite article (the) is used the next time something is mentioned, when the subject is unique, with superlatives, countries with plural names, rivers/seas/oceans/deserts, and to describe locations within a country or city. In some cases, no article is needed with plural or uncountable nouns when making generalizations.
This document defines and provides examples of the eight parts of speech in English grammar: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. For each part of speech, it explains the basic definition and function in a sentence, provides examples of words that fall into that category, and gives one or two sample sentences using words of that part of speech.
all about preposition
A preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, or spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Some examples of prepositions are words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to." Prepositions in English are highly idiomatic.
There are five types of prepositions. They are simple, double, compound, participle, and phrase prepositions. A preposition is used to show a relationship between the noun, pronoun, or phrase in a sentence.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of pronouns in English. It discusses personal pronouns, interrogative pronouns, indefinite pronouns, relative pronouns, possessive pronouns, reflexive pronouns, intensive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, reciprocal pronouns, and distributive pronouns.

For each type of pronoun, it identifies what category they fall into and provides examples to illustrate proper usage. The document is intended to serve as a comprehensive reference for understanding English pronouns.
This document defines and provides examples of determiners, articles, and quantifiers. It discusses how these words modify nouns and indicate specifics, generalities, amounts, and quantities. The main types covered are determiners, articles (definite and indefinite), possessive determiners, demonstratives, and quantifiers. Key uses and rules are outlined for each type, such as how "a" and "an" are used before nouns and the positions of different words.
The document discusses indefinite pronouns, which are pronouns that do not refer to a specific person, place, or thing. It provides examples of singular and plural indefinite pronouns and explains that some pronouns like "any", "most", "none" can be either singular or plural depending on the context. The document also discusses pronoun agreement, noting that verbs and possessive pronouns must agree in number with the indefinite pronouns they refer to. Examples are provided to illustrate these rules.
articles are the determiners. they are the very basic part of english language and even many others too.this presentation highlighting articles is mainly for students of standard 4 and 5
This document defines and provides examples of different types of pronouns in English. It discusses personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, reflexive pronouns, emphatic pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, indefinite pronouns, interrogative pronouns, and relative pronouns. Examples are provided for each type of pronoun. The document also includes exercises for the reader to practice identifying and using different pronouns.
This document defines and categorizes different types of adverbs. It explains that adverbs modify verbs by providing information about how, where, how many times, or when an action occurs. The document then lists and provides examples for four main categories of adverbs: (1) adverbs of manner that indicate how an action is performed, (2) adverbs of place that specify location, (3) adverbs of time that indicate when an action occurs, and (4) adverbs of frequency that specify how often an action occurs.
Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same person or thing. The document lists reflexive pronouns for each person and number and provides examples such as "I saw myself in the mirror" where myself reflects the subject I. Reflexive pronouns can also be used for emphasis, as in "I myself faxed the report to him." While reflexive pronouns reflect nouns, intensive pronouns like myself intensify nouns. A reflexive pronoun alone, such as herself, can mean "alone."
The document discusses collocations, or words that frequently occur together. It provides examples of verbs that collocate with certain nouns, such as "perform an operation" but not "perform a discussion". Adjectives are also discussed, such as "high probability" but not "high chance". Finally, it discusses adverb and adjective combinations like "terribly sorry" and "highly unlikely".
The document discusses adjective clauses, which modify nouns and pronouns. Adjective clauses are introduced by relative pronouns like who, whom, whose, that, which or relative adverbs like when or where. Commas are used with nonessential adjective clauses but not with essential clauses. The document provides examples of correctly and incorrectly used adjective clauses.
The document discusses reflexive pronouns, which are used as the direct or indirect object of a verb when the object is the same as the subject. It provides a list of singular and plural reflexive pronouns like myself, yourself, and ourselves. Examples are given to illustrate how reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing, such as "John taught himself" or "Ann poured herself a drink."
The document discusses adverb clauses, which are dependent clauses that function as adverbs to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs in a main clause. It defines five types of adverb clauses: time, place, reason, condition, and contrast. Each type is introduced by specific subordinating conjunctions like when, where, because, if, although. Examples are provided for each type. Rules for reducing adverb clauses and using commas are also covered. In under 3 sentences, the document defines adverb clauses, identifies the 5 types with their introducing conjunctions, and provides examples for each type.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of verbs: action verbs that show action, linking verbs that connect subjects to predicates, and helping verbs that assist main verbs. It explains that action verbs tell what a subject does, linking verbs link subjects to predicates without showing action, and helping verbs come before and help main verbs. Examples of each verb type are given and readers are asked to identify verbs in sample sentences.
This document discusses adverbs and adverb phrases. It defines adverbs as words that describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Adverb phrases consist of an adverb plus any modifying adverbs or phrases. The document outlines five main grammatical functions of adverb phrases: adjective phrase modifier, adverb phrase modifier, verb phrase modifier, adverbial, and adjunct. It provides examples for each function and discusses the syntax of adverb phrases, including degree words, comparison, and coordination.
Different words have different grammatical functions in sentences. These functions are called word classes or parts of speech, which include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, determiners, pronouns, conjunctions, and complementizers. Words that denote objects and ideas are called content words, while function words that do not denote objects aid the structure of sentences. Verbs inflect based on tense, person, number and voice to indicate grammatical relationships between subjects and objects.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of pronouns: personal pronouns like I, you, he; relative pronouns like who, that; interrogative pronouns like who, what; indefinite pronouns like anyone, someone; demonstrative pronouns like this, that; reflexive pronouns like myself; intensive pronouns like himself. It also discusses the cases that pronouns can take (nominative, possessive, objective), and rules for pronoun-antecedent agreement regarding number, gender, collective nouns.
The document discusses the usage of articles (a, an, the) in English. It explains that "the" is used to refer to something that has already been mentioned or is specific. "A/an" is used the first time something is mentioned or when it is unspecific. The zero article is used with plural nouns, uncountable nouns, proper nouns, languages, most place names, and abstract nouns.
An infinitive is a verb form that typically begins with "to" and functions as a noun, adjective, or adverb. An infinitive phrase includes the infinitive plus any modifiers and complements, and can also function as a noun, adjective, or adverb. Bare or zero infinitives omit the "to" and are used with modal auxiliary verbs or verbs like "come" and "give". Infinitives and infinitive phrases can act as subjects, direct objects, predicate nominatives, and in other grammatical roles within sentences.
The English language is filled with words that sound the same (homophones), but have different spellings and meanings. This powerpoint has a guessing game, writing activity, and speaking activity.
The document discusses four main types of adverbs: manner, place, time, and frequency. Adverbs of manner describe how an action occurs, such as "loudly". Adverbs of place indicate a location, like "here" or "outside". Adverbs of time specify when an action takes place, such as "tomorrow" or "yesterday". Finally, adverbs of frequency show how often an action happens, like "daily", "often", or "rarely". Examples are provided for each type of adverb.
Pronouns can replace nouns and include personal, relative, indefinite, demonstrative, interrogative, and reflexive types. Personal pronouns represent people or things and vary by number, person, gender, and case. Relative pronouns relate subordinate clauses. Indefinite pronouns do not refer to specific things and include all, another, any. Demonstrative pronouns identify nouns like this and that. Interrogative pronouns ask questions like what and who. Reflexive pronouns end in -self and refer back to the subject.
This document defines and provides examples of direct objects and indirect objects in sentences. A direct object receives the action of a transitive verb and answers who or what is being acted upon. An indirect object precedes the direct object and identifies to whom or for whom the direct object is being given or done. Examples are provided to identify the subject, verb, direct object, and indirect object in sentences.
This document discusses different types of nouns including:
1) Common nouns which refer to any person, place, thing or idea. Abstract nouns refer to ideas and qualities while concrete nouns refer to tangible things.
2) Proper nouns which refer to specific people, places, things or ideas.
3) Plural nouns which refer to more than one person, place, thing or idea while singular nouns refer to a single entity. Some compound words take a special plural form.

Technical English 2 (May 2015) - Reading MaterialSalina Saharudin
This text discusses the principle that individuals should only be compelled or controlled by society through force or social pressure to prevent harm to others, not for their own benefit. It asserts that an individual's liberty can only rightfully be interfered with for self-protection purposes. The only justification for exercising power over someone against their will is to prevent harm to others, as their own good is not a sufficient reason to compel them to act in a certain way or restrain them.

This document is a textbook evaluation tool that consists of 6 parts for reviewing textbooks. It includes sections to rate the organization/format, content, teacher's edition/supplementary materials, inclusion/equity/diversity issues, and alignment with district curriculum and state standards of the textbook. Reviewers are asked to rate various criteria on a scale from 0 to 3 to evaluate different aspects of the textbook.
This document discusses evaluation criteria for English language teaching materials from several studies and sources:
- Rahimpour & Hashemi (2011) evaluate content, physical make-up, and practical concerns. Jayakaran & Nimechisalem (2011) consider compatibility with teaching principles and balance of language skills.
- Tsiplakides (2011) evaluate how tasks contribute to language acquisition and development and how activities progress and vary.
- Inal (2006) lists 11 criteria including relevance of subjects/contents and language, interest, variety, authenticity, and cultural sensitivities.
- Robinett (1978) cited in Yilmaz (2005) considers goals, students, approaches
This document discusses different types of textbook evaluation:
- Pre-use evaluation assesses potential without experience using the book. It examines potential performance.
- In-use evaluation occurs while materials are being used, to monitor newly introduced or aging books. It assesses suitability.
- Post-use evaluation retrospectively assesses performance of books already used, to decide whether to continue use. It also assesses suitability.
External evaluation examines claims on the cover and introduction, as well as the table of contents to understand intended audience, level, context, and presentation. Internal evaluation investigates skills presentation, grading, practice opportunities, authenticity, tests, and motivation factors. The overall evaluation considers usability, general
This document discusses different types of textbook evaluation:
- Pre-use evaluation occurs before a book is used and examines potential performance.
- In-use evaluation happens while a book is being used to monitor newly introduced or aging materials.
- Post-use evaluation provides a retrospective assessment of a book's performance after it has been used.
It also outlines factors to consider for external evaluation of a book's description and claims, and internal evaluation of how language skills, materials, and tests are presented. The overall evaluation examines a book's usability, general features, adaptability, and flexibility.
The document discusses the process and approaches for evaluating instructional materials. It describes the selection process as having 7 steps: 1) identifying program aims and objectives, 2) analyzing the teaching and learning situation, 3) finding or designing an evaluation checklist, 4) limiting criteria, 5) creating a shortlist, 6) in-depth evaluation using the checklist, and 7) making a selection decision. It also outlines two main evaluation approaches - impressionistic overview and in-depth evaluation, and notes that combining both forms a sound evaluation basis. Several evaluation methods are mentioned, including piloting materials, gathering teacher and student opinions, and detailed analysis.
This document discusses materials evaluation in language learning. It defines materials evaluation as the systematic appraisal of instructional materials to measure their impact on language learning quality. Materials evaluation examines the potential and practicality of materials, and helps teachers determine if materials should be adopted, maintained, or replaced based on their strengths, weaknesses, and how well they meet learner and teacher needs. The document also outlines the purposes of materials evaluation such as adopting new textbooks, identifying issues with current materials, comparing options, and informing teacher training. Both predictive evaluation of potential future materials and retrospective evaluation of past materials use are discussed.
The document discusses the roles and advantages of instructional materials, particularly textbooks. Textbooks can serve as resources for teaching materials and activities, references for language skills, and supports for less experienced teachers. While textbooks provide structure and standardized lessons, they also have disadvantages like being inflexible and containing inauthentic language. Ideal textbook use supplements them with other materials to give teachers and students more flexibility.
Materials refer to anything used in language teaching and learning, including textbooks, CD-ROMs, DVDs, handouts, charts, and websites. Materials can be informative, instructional, experiential, or exploratory. Commercially produced materials mostly focus on informing learners about language features and guiding practice. Material development involves evaluating, adapting, designing, producing, and researching materials for language learning.

This article describes the development of an English language textbook evaluation checklist. The researchers first reviewed existing textbook evaluation checklists and identified common criteria. They then developed a tentative checklist organized into two main categories: general attributes and learning-teaching content. The general attributes section includes subcategories like relation to syllabus, methodology, suitability to learners, and physical attributes. The learning-teaching content section includes criteria for areas like listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar. The researchers considered issues of validity, reliability and practicality in developing the checklist. They intend to further refine the checklist through additional research studies. The checklist is intended to help educators evaluate and select textbooks.
The document provides a list of 14 discussion topics across various categories including dating, fashion, food, movies, music, sports, travel, nightlife, news, language learning, and the internet. For each topic, there are 2-4 questions provided, and participants are asked to choose 3 topics to draft responses for each question in that topic. They are also asked to generate their own additional question for each of the 3 topics they choose.
Mosquitoes find humans using carbon dioxide, warmth, and movement. Female mosquitoes require blood meals to develop their eggs. There are four stages in a mosquito's lifecycle - egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in various standing waters, where the larvae live until becoming pupae and then emerging as adult mosquitoes. Their tiny wing scales help them fly efficiently and make swatting difficult.
