Grammar
Need assistance in prepering for the test! (descriptive grammar)
Hello everyone,
I have a big problem with the descriptive grammar. I had an accident and I wasn't able to attend school for weeks. I have a notes from lectures, but i don't understand it. Tomorrow i need to pass it and i need your help! I've studied a lot recently, but i don't know how to make few examples. I've made over 100 recently, but i don't understand everything....yet.
So, let's start.
give an example of:
1 sentence adverb
2 possesive pronaun - mine is ok?
3 ordinal number - first is ok?
4 demonstrative determiner
5 participal adjective
6 complex preposition
7 reduced relative clauses
8 imperative sentence
fill the gaps
9 Verbs that cannot be followed by noun phrase are caled ....... verbs
10 Shortened form of a verb as in: i've red is called ............. form
11 The type of coordination in the sentence Please try and come early. is called .......... coordination
Identify two types of it:
12 it is dark at night
13 it was Mark who came so late
Identify semantic types of underlined clauses:
14 John will come although i haven't invited him
15 He phoned me becouse she didin't know my adress
fill the gaps
16 Words like: oh, eh, hmm belong to ............
17 Adjectives that do not have comparative or superlative degrees are called .......
18 Verbs that require Noun phrase as a post-head string are called ........... verbs
19 The verb do in the sentence do not come in, please is called ........... do
Name the following phrases, underline their heads.
20 a very young long-distance runner .......... ( runner is head?) (adjective phrase?)
over that high mountain ............. (mountain is the head of phrase) ( adverb phrase?)
Underline the head and indentify two strings of this phrase
21 never opened that secred door in the room ( in my opinion, door is the head of the phrase, " in the room" is post-head and "never opened that secred" is pre-head ? )
underline all determiners (consider their ordering)
all his other very important achievements
i know that all is determiners (pre determiner)
