Transcript
Adverbs - Adverbs are words that modify action words, e.g., he ran again. They
tell us when, where, how, in what manner, or to what extent an action is
performed.
By selecting the brown ADVERBS key, the user opens a selection of adverbs.
After the selection of the desired word, the page closes automatically.
Adjectives/Describing - a word that describes or clarifies a noun (e.g., she is
cold). Adjectives describe nouns by giving some information about an object’s
size, shape, age, colour, origin or material.
By pressing the blue ADJECTIVES button, a user will open a selection of
describing. After the desired word is selected, the page closes automatically.
Pronouns - (I, me, he, she, herself, you, it, etc.) are words that takes the place
of a noun. In the sentence Josh saw Sarah, and he waved at her, the pronouns
he and her take the place of Josh and Sarah, respectively.
Many pronouns are available right from the home screen. By pressing the
yellow PRONOUNS button, the user can access other subject, object,
possessive and reflexive pronouns. Like all other easyCore pages, the pronoun
page closes automatically after a selection is made.
Prepositions - a word or phrase that connects a noun or pronoun to a verb or
an adjective in a sentence.
Several common prepositions (i.e., with, in, on, for, of) are available right from
the easyCore page. An example of a preposition is the word "with" in the
following; "I'm going with her."More high frequency prepositions are available
by selecting the pink PREPOSITIONS button. After a selection is made, the page
closes automatically.
Wh-Question Words - These are called question words or WH words because
they include the letters WH.
To form wh-questions (e.g., who is that? where are you?), the user simply
makes the appropriate selection right from the home page. Any wh-question
word selection brings up more options like contractions (e.g., who's, where's)
and additional wh-question words (i.e., which, whose) that can be used or
ignored.
Indefinite pronouns - Indefinite pronouns take the place of a noun, but not
one particular noun. An example of this would be "Everyone had a great time
at the party.” The indefinite pronoun, “everyone” refers to those who went
rather than naming each person.
Pressing the yellow ANY/EVERY/NO/SOME button allows a user access to
common indefinite pronouns like "everywhere" and "somebody." Like all pages
within easyCore, this page closes out after a selection is made.
Conjunctions - The conjunction is the part of speech used as a “joiner” for
words, phrases, or clauses in a particular sentence. It links these words or
groups of words together (e.g., or, than, if, but).
The conjunction "and" is available right from the home screen for quick access.
All other conjunctions (i.e., because, but, if, than, or) can be accessed from the
white CONJUNCTION button. After the selection of one of these connector
words, the page closes automatically.
Determiners/Demonstratives - A determiner/demonstrative pronoun points
to a particular noun or to the noun it replaces. There are four demonstratives
in English: this, that, these and those.
The demonstrative pronouns (i.e., this, that, these, those) are available right
from the easyCore main page with just a single hit.
Verbs/action words - a verb is a word that expresses action or a state of being.
Many common verbs and helping verbs are available right from the easyCore
main page with even more verbs accessed by pressing the MORE ACTIONS
button. When a verb selection is made, easyGrammar tools appear in the top
row to allow a user to conjugate the verb (e.g., "eat" can become "ate,"
"eating," "eats" or "eaten."
Auxiliary verbs/action words - Auxiliary verbs are sometimes called helping
verbs because they are needed to form many of the tenses. Verbs connect the
subject (so a noun/name/pronoun) to the rest of the sentence
He is happy (connects subject to adjective)
He is a boy (connects subject to noun
He is running (connects subject to verb)
The auxiliary verbs(helping verbs) are available on the easyCore main page.
When you select an auxiliary verb the option to access another form is
immediately displayed (e.g., "is" can become "isn't," "were" can become
"weren't.")
Names
easyChat users will benefit from quick access to a fully-customisable page for
the important people in their lives (e.g., friends, family, teachers, co-workers)
by pressing the pink NAMES button. Buttons at the bottom of this page link to
easyPages for even more names.
