This unit discussed the various components of a sentence, and their purpose and placement within the sentence. I learned that each sentence should contain at the least a subject and a verb. Some verbs require an object to make the sentence complete. A noun is a person, place or thing, but there are different types of nouns such as pronouns, countable and uncountable nouns. A sentence can include words that describe nouns called adjectives, and adjectives can be comparative or superlative. Verbs also have different forms – a base form, past simple, past participle and present participle. Verbs can be transitive or intransitive. Verbs can even act as a noun by adding -ing to the end of the word, called a gerund. Adverbs are words used to describe a verb. Adverbs usually end in an -ly. For example, “Scott ran slowly.” I learned that articles are definite (the) and indefinite (a, an), and are used to determine if the noun is any member of a group, or if it is a specific member of a group. For example, “Kevin gave Sara a bouquet of flowers. The yellow flowers are the prettiest.” In the first sentence, the noun or object “flowers” is general because there is no specificity about the flowers and “f” is a consonant, so indefinite article “a” is used. The second sentence references flowers of a specific color, so definite article “the” is used. This unit also discussed the uses of prepositions and conjunctions.
