English 1 Study Guide: Grammar You must be able to identify the subject of a sentence. Concrete and abstract nouns Count and non-count nouns. Know when to use “few” v. “less” and “some” v. “any” Nominative and objective case pronouns Indefinite pronouns: singular, plural, and those that can be both Possessive pronouns: my, ours, theirs, yours, his, hers, its, everyone’s Direct objects: verb + what? or whom? Indirect objects: verb + to whom or for whom? Prepositional phrases. Just be able to recognize one. You don’t have to know at this point whether a prepositional phrase works as an adjective or adverb. Transitive and intransitive verbs: trans takes a do and intrans doesn’t Irregular verbs (you have a list—it’s a handout) Linking verbs. Memorize them. It’s the only way to learn them. You also have to know the term “subject complement.” There are two types of subject complements: predicate nominative and predicate adjective. Adjectives. They modify nouns and only nouns. They don’t modify anything else. Only nouns. Adverbs. They modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You have notes on most of this. The exception may be concrete and abstract nouns. That’s pretty simple. The best way to review is to use your notes and go to the Purdue University Online Writing Lab. Everything we have covered is covered there. You will find clear explanations and practice exercises. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/ For example, if you go to the OWL home page and type in “count nouns,” you will get a link to a thorough explanation of the difference between “count” and “non-count” nouns.
