Inverted Sentences Swimming in the water was my dad and my dog.

Pronoun Usage Antecedent- the noun that the pronoun is replacing Every pronoun must have an antecedent Can not be a phrase or clause Ex: Although Glen is president of the student body, he has not yet passed his English exam, and because of it, he will not graduate. The pronoun and antecedent must agree Either both plural or both singular Ex: I have two cousins. Their names are Sarah and Laura.

Pronouns Con’t Antecedents must be clear The letter is on the desk that we received yesterday The letter that we received yesterday is on the desk Edward’s father died before he reached his 30th birthday. In the manual it says to make three copies.

Adjectives vs. Adverbs Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs Party invitation: where, when, why, how, to what extent? Usually (!) end in -ly Adjectives describe nouns Which one? How Many? How Much? What Kind?

Adj vs. Adv Use the right part of speech! He said that the medicine tasted terrible/terribly. The dog remained faithful/faithfully to its master until the end. I felt bad/badly about forgetting the appointment The professor presented an obvious/obviously important point in the class.

My dog had not barely been home two days when he ran away. My dog had barely been home two days when he ran away.

Nouns vs. Noun Clauses Noun clauses, especially those that serve as the subject of the sentence, must be properly introduced Use “that” instead of “why” or “because” Ex: Why/That American car manufactures did not reduce car sizes earlier than they did is a mystery. Ex: The reason the saxophone is popular is because/that its timbre can approximate the human voice.
