The Adjective Refer to page 9 in your Holt Handbook
Definition: An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun Modify: To describe or to make more definite the meaning of the word. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns by telling what kind, which one, how many, or how much It is important to understand the term “modify.” We will be using this term throughout the year.
16
Articles A, An, and The Three of the most common words.
Our Holt Handbook refers to articles as Adjectives – other grammarians do not. I tend the believe they are their own part of speech. Three of the most common words. A and an are Indefinite articles The is a definite article

Whaaatt!?! Some words can be both adjectives or pronouns or both adjectives and nouns. It is important to read the complete sentence and work in context. Examples on page 10 and 11

Proper Adjectives An adjective formed from a proper noun
A lecture of Mr. Kellian proportions. See page 12 for more examples

21
The Verb Definition: A verb expresses action or a state of being
Refer to page 13 in your Holt Handbook Definition: A verb expresses action or a state of being Examples: run, sit, think, dance, wallop. In my opinion: Verbs are the key to sentences.
22
Action verbs and Linking Verbs
Action verbs: Expresses either physical or mental activity (see chart, page 13) Linking verbs: connects the subject to a word or work group in the predicate. If this is mumbo-jumbo to you now, spend time memorizing the charts on page 14.

Transitive Verbs and Intransitive Verbs

The Adverb Works much like and adjective
An Adverb modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb Reminder: To modify means to describe or make more definite the meaning of a word. Adverbs tell how, when, where, or to what extent (how much or how long) Refer to page 18 for examples.
29
Prepositions, Conjunctions, Interjections
30
Preposition Shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition, to another word.
31
Examples The puppy ran beside me. The puppy ran toward me.
The puppy ran around me. The puppy ran past me. The puppy ran after me. The puppy ran behind me. The puppy ran in front of me.
32
Preposition or Adverb? Preposition: We drove around the parking lot.
(The compound noun parking lot is the object of around.) Adverb: We drove around for a while. (Around modifies the verb drove.)
33
Compound Prepositions
A preposition that consists of two or more words. Examples: The young sculptor made a scale model of Mount Rushmore out of clay. She placed a photograph of Mount Rushmore next to her clay model.
34
Homework Exercise 5, pg. 22, #1-10
Write the complete sentences with the prepositions that you used.
35
Joins words or word groups
The Conjunction Joins words or word groups
36
Coordinating Conjunctions
Joins word or word groups that are used in the same way. Example: We found a bat and a glove. They may be hiding in the attic or the basement.
37
Correlative Conjunctions
Pairs of conjunctions that join words or word groups that are used in the same way. Examples: Both athletes and singers must train for long hours. We searched not only behind the garage but also under the pecan tree.
38
Subordinating Conjunctions
Begins a subordinate clause (not a complete thought) and connects it to an independent clause. Example: We arrived late because our train was delayed. While Sherlock Holmes explained his theory, Dr. Watson listened quietly.
39
The Interjection Expresses emotion and has no grammatical relation to the rest of the sentence.
40
Examples Well, I think you should apologize to her. Ouch! That hurts!
