Study Guide: Mrs. Morrow-Big Test #4 Grammar Section: -Adjectives: You will need to know what an adjective is/what is does, and you will need to be able to pick adjectives out of a sentence. Adjectives describe/modify nouns, and remember the three questions to ask. An adjective will either answer: Which one? What kind? How many? Example: The enormous elephant loved peanuts. Elephant is your noun, and enormous is the adjective describing that noun. It also answers the question “what kind?” -Adverbs: You will need to know what an adverb is/does, and you will need to be able to pick adverbs out of a sentence. Adverbs describe/modify verbs, and remember the three questions. An adverb will either answer: When? Where? How? Example: Lilly and Ben played here. Played is the verb in the sentence. When picking out adverbs, it is easiest to pick out the verb first, and then pick out the adverb. In this sentence, our verb is played and here is the adverb that describes where they played. -Verbs: You will need to know what a verb is/does and how to pick a verb out in a sentence. Remember, verbs show action and state of being. You will also need to pick out helping and linking verbs. (Review notes-PPT is on the blog) Example: Helping verb: Jason will play video games tomorrow. Play is the main verb, and will is the helping verb. The verb phrase would be “will play.” Linking Verb: Remember the most common linking verbs: is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been. Beth’s clothes are muddy. Are would be considered the linking verb. This too is on the PPT on my blog. Reading/Literature: Theme-Remember theme is an underlying message or “big idea” in a fictional text. -Example: “Tim hated his old baseball glove. He wanted to play with a new glove, but he didn’t have any money, so he decided to steal it. But when Tim got caught stealing the glove, his parents said he couldn’t play baseball all summer. The “theme” would be if you want something, you should work for it. Main Idea: This tells what the selection/story or paragraph is about. Assertions: An assertion is a statement such as “The weather is cold today.” It is a confident statement of fact or belief, and in order for an assertion to be reasonable, it must be supported by facts or examples. You will need to be able to read a short passage and make an assertion backed up by examples. Author’s Perspective: The viewpoint from which the author writes. You will need to be able to read a short passage and determine the author’s perspective. Prefixes, suffixes, and roots: you will need to know the meaning of the following prefixes/suffixes/roots and be able to read a word and determine its meaning based of these definiitons. All of these are in your notes. –ation(suffix), -able (suffix), pre- (prefix), be(prefix), -ent(suffix), -ible (suffix), -volv-(root), -tort- (root)
