35
Using Verbs Agreement Transitive vs. intransitive Tense Voice Mood Verbals

Agreement Singular: A tadpole was rinsed in fresh water. Plural: The tasters were asked to rate the palatability of each tadpole's skin.
37
Transitive vs. Intransitive Verbs Intransitive: The palatability of the tadpoles falls as the temperature of the water rises. Transitive: The palatability of the tadpoles falls as we raise the temperature of the water.
38
Verb Tense Present: The tasters place the tadpoles into their mouths. Past: The tasters placed... Future: The tasters will place … Perfect: The tasters have placed... Past perfect: The tasters had placed... Future perfect: The tasters will have placed...

Verb Voice Active: We directed the participants not to swallow the tadpoles. Passive: The participants were directed not to swallow the tadpoles.
40
Verb Mood Indicative: The tasters bit firmly and fully into the body of the tadpole. Imperative: Bite firmly and fully into the body of the tadpole. Conditional: The tasters would not experience the full flavor if they did not bite firmly and fully into the body of the tadpole.

Infinitive: Participants were directed to rinse their mouths out at least twice with fresh water before proceeding to the next tadpole.
42
Using Adjectives and Adverbs Adjectives vs. adverbs Positive, comparative, superlative
43
Adjectives: The most distasteful tadpole was clearly Bufo marinus. Adverbs: The body cavity of tadpoles is almost entirely occupied by gut in which tadpoles process large volumes of detritus. Adjectives and adverbs
44
Positive: Standing water is likely to be stagnant. Comparative: Standing water is more likely to be stagnant. Superlative: Standing water is most likely to be stagnant. Degrees of Adjectives and Adverbs
45
Using Conjunctions Coordinating (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) Subordinating (if, because, although, etc.) Independent vs. dependent clauses
46
Coordinating Conjunction The most palatable organisms are those least vulnerable to predator attack, and the most distasteful are those most susceptible to such an attack.
47
