Conjunction and


Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses. Look at the examples that follow:

The bowl of squid eyeball stew is hot and delicious.

A coordinating conjunction can join two main clauses that a writer wants to emphasize equally. The pattern for coordination looks like this:

main Clause + , + coordinating conjunction + main Clause.

Subordination, however, emphasizes the idea in the main clause more than the one in the subordinate clause. Generally, the patterns look like these:

main clause + Ø + subordinate clause.

subordinate Clause + , + main Clause.

Read the pairs of sentences that follow. The first version coordinates the two ideas. The second version subordinates one idea to emphasize the other.

To survive the fetal pig dissection, Rinalda agreed to make all of the incisions, and Frances promised to remove and label the organs.

Pattern 1 — Connecting two main clauses

When you connect two main clauses with a coordinating conjunction, use a comma. The pattern looks like this:

main clause + , + coordinating conjunction + main clause.

Here is an example:

While I am at work, my dog Floyd sleeps on the bed , and my cat Buster naps in the bathtub.

Pattern 2 — Connecting two items

You can also use a coordinating conjunction to connect any two items. These items can be any grammatical unit except main clauses. The pattern looks like this:

item + Ø + coordinating conjunction + item

Here are some examples:

My dog Floyd has too many fleas and too much hair.

Pattern 3 — Connecting three or more items in a series

When you have three or more items in a series, you generally use a comma before the coordinating conjunction. Some handbooks and style guides will tell you that this comma is optional, but my advice is to put it in. The pattern looks like this:

item + , + item + , + coordinating conjunction + item

Here is an example:

Swatting olives off the kitchen counter, dragging toilet paper streamers through the house, and terrorizing Jacques Cousteau, the parakeet, has consumed another of Buster's days.

Yes, you can begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction!

Some teachers warn that beginning a sentence with a coordinating conjunction is wrong. Teachers will typically tell you this because they are trying to help you avoid writing fragments. Other times teachers give this advice because their preference is that a sentence not begin with a coordinating conjunction.

What you should remember is that you break no grammar rule if you begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction. Because you might be breaking your instructors' rules, however, you should ask what their preferences are.

If you decide to begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction, keep these three things in mind:

  • Be sure that a main clause follows the coordinating conjunction.
  • Do not use a coordinating conjunction to begin every sentence. Use this option only when it makes the flow of your ideas more effective.
  • Do not use a comma after the coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are not transitional expressions like for example or first of all. You will rarely use punctuation after them.

A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, idea, or quality.

Examples: John, Mary, boy, girl, children; Pasadena, CEC; classrooms, notebooks; freedom, intelligence; hope, anger, joy

2. PRONOUN

A pronoun is usually a substitute for a noun. The noun is called the "antecedent" (but an indefinite pronoun has no antecedent).

Examples:

a. Personal pronouns: I, mine, me; you, yours; he, his, him; she, hers, her; it, its; we, ours, us; they, theirs, them.

b. Interrogative pronouns: who, whose, whom, which, what

3. VERB

A verb expresses an action or a condition (a state of being).

Examples: Robert will eat the hamburger. (action) Sara is happy. (condition or state of being)

Robert won’t eat the hamburger. Sara isn’t happy.

Will Robert eat the hamburger? Is Sara happy?

4. ADVERB

An adverb describes a verb, adjective, or other adverb. Adverbs usually tell how (for example: slowly), when (e.g., lately), where (e.g., there), how much (e.g., very), or why (e.g., therefore).

Example: He always chews his gum loudly.

5. ADJECTIVE

An adjective describes or limits a noun.

Examples: tall, young, pretty, light, blue, new, white (The tall, young, pretty girl is wearing a light blue dress with her new white shoes.) (NOT: ...a light dress blue with her new shoes white.)

Adjectives and adverbs have three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, superlative. Examples:

Mary has a smart child. Sara has a smarter child. Nancy has the smartest child.

Robert is an intelligent student. William is more intelligent than Robert. Kim is the most intelligent student.

The red car is expensive. The white car is less expensive. The blue car is the least expensive.

I’m a bad singer. She’s a worse singer. He’s the worst singer.

6. PREPOSITION

A preposition usually shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another part of a sentence.

There are many prepositions, including: about, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, as, at, before, behind, below, beneath, between, beyond, beside, besides, by, down, during, except, from, for, in, inside, into, like, near, next, of, off, on, out, out of, outside, over, past, round, since, than, through, till, to, toward, towards, under, underneath, unless, until, upon, up, with, within, without.

7. CONJUNCTION

A conjunction connects words, phrases, and clauses.

Coordinate conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal value: and, or, nor, but (and sometimes for). e.g., The dog and the cat are hungry.

Correlative conjunctions occur in pairs: both-and, either-or, neither-nor, not only-but also. e.g., Both the fish and the snake are thirsty.

Subordinate conjunctions connect unequal clauses (dependent clauses with independent clauses). They include: after, although, as, because, before, if, since, than, though, unless, until, when, where, while. e.g., After they ate, they had dessert.

8. INTERJECTION

An interjection is a word that expresses feeling or emotion; usually it is followed by an exclamation mark.

Examples: Oh! Ah! Wow! Darn! Gosh! Golly! Gee! Ow! Ouch! Yikes! Holy moly! Yippee! Hooray! Boo! Whew!

ADVERBS

  1. Adverbs tell how (“eagerly”), when (“lately,” “often”), where (“there,” “outside”), how much (“very,” “too”), and why (“therefore”).

  1. Adverbs usually modify verbs, other adverbs, or adjectives.

Bob drives carefully . (“Carefully” modifies the verb “drives.”)

Bob drives very carefully. (“Very” modifies the adverb “carefully.”)

Bob is quite tall. (“Quite” modifies the adjective “tall.”)

  1. Adverbs are often “adjective + -ly”:

patient--patiently

careless--carelessly

expensive--expensively

probable--probably

certain--certainly

happy--happily

honest--honestly

personal--personally

real--really

direct--directly

fair-fairly

serious--seriously

  1. But not all adverbs end in –ly:

again, ago, all, almost, also, always, any, anyhow, anymore, anyplace, anytime, anyway, anywhere, better, best, enough, far, farther, fast, further, furthest, here, how, inside, just, later, maybe, more, most, much, never, next, now, often, once, outside, quite, rather, slow (also slowly), so, some, somehow, sometime, sometimes, somewhat, still, straight, there, therefore, too, very, well, what, whatever, when, whence, whenever, where, whereby, wherein, wherever, yet.

  1. Not all words that end in -ly are automatically adverbs;

“friendly,” “likely,” “lonely,” and “lovely” are adjectives.

“Early” can be an adjective OR an adverb.

  1. “Fast,” “slow,” “quick,” “early,” and “straight” are examples of other words that can be adjectives AND adverbs, BUT have the same meaning:

Sara walks fast. (adverb) = Sara is a fast walker. (adjective).

The early bus (adjective) = the bus that arrives early (adverb).

  1. Most adverbs, like adjectives, can be compared using “more” and “most”: sharply--more sharply--most sharply. One- syllable adverbs are compared using “-er” and “-est”: straight--straighter--straightest.

Some adverbs are irregular:

well--better--best,

badly (ill)--worse--worst,

much--more--most,

little--less--least,

far--farther (further)--farthest (furthest).

An activity in the future that will end before another activity in the future.

e.g. They will have left Lab by the time I arrive.

Preposotion

A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the preposition.

A preposition usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence as in the following examples:

The book is on the table.
The book is beneath the table.
The book is leaning against the table.
The book is beside the table.
She held the book over the table.
She read the book during class.

In each of the preceding sentences, a preposition locates the noun "book" in space or in time.

A prepositional phrase is made up of the preposition, its object and any associated adjectives or adverbs. A prepositional phrase can function as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. The most common prepositions are "about," "above," "across," "after," "against," "along," "among," "around," "at," "before," "behind," "below," "beneath," "beside," "between," "beyond," "but," "by," "despite," "down," "during," "except," "for," "from," "in," "inside," "into," "like," "near," "of," "off," "on," "onto," "out," "outside," "over," "past," "since," "through," "throughout," "till," "to," "toward," "under," "underneath," "until," "up," "upon," "with," "within," and "without."

Each of the highlighted words in the following sentences is a preposition:

The children climbed the mountain without fear.

In this sentence, the preposition "without" introduces the noun "fear." The prepositional phrase "without fear" functions as an adverb describing how the children climbed.

There was rejoicing throughout the land when the government was defeated.

Here, the preposition "throughout" introduces the noun phrase "the land." The prepositional phrase acts as an adverb describing the location of the rejoicing.

The spider crawled slowly along the banister.

The preposition "along" introduces the noun phrase "the banister" and the prepositional phrase "along the banister" acts as an adverb, describing where the spider crawled.

The dog is hiding under the porch because it knows it will be punished for chewing up a new pair of shoes.

Here the preposition "under" introduces the prepositional phrase "under the porch," which acts as an adverb modifying the compound verb "is hiding."

The screenwriter searched for the manuscript he was certain was somewhere in his office.

Similarly in this sentence, the preposition "in" introduces a prepositional phrase "in his office," which acts as an adverb describing the location of the missing papers.

Recommendation

I have known him for two years. He is one of the best students in our school. He is smart and hardworking. He attends his lessons and activities seriously and he always does his work.

He is also energetic and very talented. For example: Bulgantamir participated in the Math and physics Olympiads successful last year, and he received gold, silver and bronze medals from them.

In addition he has a sense of humor, and he is friendly. He is also good at math and chess. I strongly recommend his as a student because he has many abilities and will study to attain a promising future.

I hope you will give Bulgantamir every consideration because he will be an excellent student.

Mongolian future

Mongolia is unique because of its integrity in nature, culture, history and hospitality. It is also called “the Land of Blue sky”. I am proud of Mongolian’s pristine nature, fresh air and grassland. Every day Mongolian life changed. The population is about 2.6 million people, but it is one of the least densely populated countries in the world. As the statistics suggest, the population of Mongolia will reach 4,4 million by 2050. I agree that if the population of the country increases, the economic would develop very rapidly.

First of all, we need to develop the Mongolian education system, which should reach international standards. As well as, Mongolians also need to discover many new scientific discoveries in the world.

Secondly, the urban concentration in Mongolia is found in Ulaanbaatar. So, we need to initiate a strategic city plan in order to regulate self development of Harhorin. I dream that the Harhorin city will be a modern city in the world.

Thirdly, Mongolia was very vast territory. So transportation needs to be developed. In my opinion tarmac road should rebuild along each aimag, sum, or bag in ten years time.

Fourthly, there are many cars and ger district’s smoke in Mongolia. So we need to build many big apartments for the public. I believe that the Mongolian people will be very rich, the rural community will be moved elsewhere by rich herders, business man, politicians and order urban citizens who still keep their ties with the original traditional institutions.

Next, the economic will increase to the developed countries level. Especially, it needs to increase export product such as copper, gold, cashmere wool, fur, leather and diary product.

Finally, I am proud of Mongolia it could be the best developed country in the world.

If I had million dollar

If I had million dollars, first I would keep it in the Golomt bank.

Of course the interest rate would increase the capital, so I would spent only the interest.

First, I would graduate from university and complete a master’s course. Then I would have a big library of foreign language books. I would buy a lot of books for my library. Then I would acquire a lot of knowledge. To have a good education, I would learn many foreign language such as English, Chinese, German, and Japanese and of course Russian.

I would study English especially. To speak each foreign language well, I would employ native speakers.

After that, in order to learn the history ad customs of many countries, I would travel to foreign countries. My first country of course would be America, I would especially visit the Hollywood district in Los-Angeles, because my hobby is studying about popular people’s lives. Next I would travel to other countries.

In short, I dream that I will one day, have a million dollars.

How to protect the enviroment

Our earth is our home. Do people pollute the enviroment? Of course one of the most serious problem is a ger district. The smoke is the main cause of bad air quility, which can make people feel ill and have difficulty breathing. So the goverment concentrate on this problem and it should build many apartments for the public.

Another of the biggest polluters today is cars. Ownerships is increasing every year.

In my opinion, the goverment should decrease the number of cars, people should go to work by bycicle and electric cars. Public transport is more environmentally friendlt because buses and trains can carry large numbers of people at the same time. On the other hand, wind, wave, and solar power don not pollute the environment. We have to control atmospheric and water polution, to study man’s influence on the climate. If we don’t use chemicals responsidy we will pollute our invironment. Litter is garbage like food, paper, nad cans on the ground or in the street in Mongolia. So, people should put their garbage in the garbage can. Moreover, they should work together in groups to clean up the city and Tuul river. Also, it is important that people should build a recycling centre in Mongolia. People all over the world should do everything to protect their environment and try to persuade the government to take more care of the environment , especially by organizing protests.

Unit 8

Hard time

A.

I moved to London with my family a month ago. I haven’t made any new friends yet and I miss my old friends. I’m going to start at my new school next week but I don’t want to. I’m afraid my new schoolmates will tease me because of my accent. I think I’ll be miserable there. I want to go back to my village. What can I do?

B.

I’m a working mother with a two-month-old son. My house is very far from my workplace. If I carry on working there, I’ll miss out on the pleasure of spending time with my song. I’m thinking of applying for a part-time job in a place which is much nearer, but if I get the job, I’ll earn a lot less money and I’ll have no chance of promotion. Could you please help me?

C.

I am 65 and I have always been kept busy with my shop, but I’ll be retiring in February, so I’m not going to have anything to do. I’m an active and it will be impossible for me to sit around the house. If I spend my time just going on pensioners trips or walk in the park, I’ll feel useless. Any ideas?

The best thing you can do is to stop worrying. There are so many things you can do to feel useful. How about taking up a hobby which you never had time for before? You could also do some work for charities and help others with your experience and abilities.

2.

You ought to think about what is best for your family. If you can afford to live on less money, then you should apply for a part-time job. This will be much better for you because you’ll have more time for your son. Alternatively, if your present work-place has got a child-minding centre for its employees’ children, I strongly advise you to stay. In this way you’ll be close to your son and you can also seek promotion. Hope this advice is of some help to you.

3.

I don’t think you should worry so much. Why don’t you join a gym? You’ll make lots of friends there. If I were you, I wouldn’t be afraid of starting at the new school. If you go there with a positive attitude, I’m sure that everything will be OK.
