Transcript
G.L. 4 - Action Verbs • • • • Action verbs tell what the subject is or does. A sentence can contain more than one action verb. Action verbs make writing more vivid and more precise. Diagramming simple subjects and simple predicates. See notes on board. G.L. 5 - Capitalizing Proper Nouns • • • • • A common noun doesn’t name a specific person, place, or thing. A proper noun names a specific person, place, or thing. Proper nouns require a capital letter. Common nouns that are part of a proper noun are capitalized. Small words that are part of a proper noun are not capitalized unless they are the first or last word. G.L. 6 - Verb Tense • • • • Tense means time. Verbs tell us what action is occurring and when it is happening. Verb tense, or form, changes to show when the action takes place. Three verb tenses: • Present • Past • Future Present Tense • • • • • Present tense is action that is happening now. Add an s to the verb when it is singular. Do not add s to singular verbs when the pronoun is I or you. When verbs end in s, x, z, ch, or sh, add es when the subject is singular. When a verb ends in a consonant and a y, change the y to i and add es for a singular form. Past Tense • Past tense shows action that has already happened. • Add ed to form the past tense of regular verbs. • When one-syllable verbs end in a consonant, double the consonant and add ed. • When a verb ends in e, drop the e and add ed. Errors to Avoid • Don’t use present tense form for past tense verbs. • Do not use past and present tense in same phrase.
