GRAMMAR UNIT 2 REVIEW Passive/Active Voice Verbals and Their Function Verb Moods and Misplaced Modifiers APRIL 9, 2013 I can identify whether a sentence is an active voice or passive voice by noticing where the action is in the sentence. I can identify verbals in a sentence by determining their function in a sentence. I can identify the mood tense of a sentence and write my own examples. I can identify misplaced modifiers and correct the sentence so that the proper noun is modified. BELLRINGER– PRE-ASSESSMENT What is the interrogative mood of a sentence? Write an example of interrogative mood. What is the conditional mood of a sentence? Write an example of the conditional mood of a sentence. INTERROGATIVE MOOD Interrogative mood occurs when one is asking a question. Examples: Do you like to watch TV? How long have you been driving? Did you watch the game last night? How was your Spring Break? It is often consolidated with indicative mood. CONDITIONAL MOOD We use the conditional when we’re talking about something that hasn’t happened, or that can happen only if some condition is met. For example: You should study harder [if you want to pass the exam]. I could call my friend [if I want to learn something from him]. If we want to get home by 6:00, we should leave at 2:00. We could have gone to the movies [if we’d planned our day better]. If you had applied in time, you would have got the job. Note that we don’t have to include the “if” clause. It’s often understood. When you teacher says you should study harder, he doesn’t have to spell out the reasons! PASSIVE/ACTIVE VOICE REVIEW In active voice the subject does the action. In passive voice the subject is acted upon. http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/verbsvoice_quiz.htm VERBALS REVIEW Participles can be either past or present. They are verbals that function as an adjective. Past participles end in –ed or the irregular verb form -en. Present Participles end in –ing. Gerunds are verbals that function as a noun in a sentence. They end in –ing. They can be the subject, predicate nominative, direct object, or the object of the preposition in a sentence. Infinitives are verbals that function as either a noun, adjective, or adverb. They usually begin with the helping verb to. VERBALS REVIEW http://www.cliffsnotes.com/study_guide/QuizVerbals-Gerunds-Infinitives-andParticiples.topicArticleId-251279,articleId251226.html VERB MOOD Types of verb moods: Examples of each type of sentence VERB MOOD ANSWER Indicative– (facts) The Louisville Cardinals won the NCAA championship game. Imperative– (Commands) Sit in your seat. Interrogative– (Questions) Did you watch the game last night? Conditional– (Cause and Effect) If you study for this test, then you will do well. Subjunctive– (Hypothetical, non-reality) I wish you’d study for your test. MISPLACED MODIFIERS In order for a sentence to make sense, the modifiers must be placed as close as possible to the noun it modifies. MISPLACED MODIFIERS http://uwf.edu/writelab/test/dangling_and_mispla ced_modifiers_practice_test.htm ALSO KNOW….. Direct Object– noun, pronoun, or word group that tells who or what receives the action of the verb. Predicate Nominative– word or word group that is in the predicate and the identifies the subject or refers to it. Adverb—word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Subject—tells whom or what the sentence is about. ALSO KNOW….. Noun– word or word group that is used to name a person, a place, a thing, or an idea. Adjective– word used to modify a noun or a pronoun. Object of the Preposition– word that shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition, to another word. Prepositional Phrase– all together, the preposition, the object of the preposition, and any modifiers of the object are called a prepositional phrase.
