Figure of Speech A Figure of Speech is where a word or words are used to create an effect, often where they do not have their original or literal meaning. If someone says that they are 'starving', they do not mean that they are in fact dying of hunger, but that they are very hungry. This is a simple example of a figure of speech, where the word is used to heighten or increase the state that the
I recently found a article on a friends website that I have been a daily reader for some time now and thought I would share it.White people love rules.

Discourse Discourse Analysis Discourse Analysis is the area of linguistics that is concerned with how we build up meaning in the larger communicative rather than grammatical units; meaning in a text, paragraph, conversation, etc, rather than in a single sentence. Discourse Marker A discourse marker is a word or phrase used in a conversation to signal the speaker's intention to mark a boundary:
Direct & Indirect Speech Direct Speech Direct speech is used to give the exact words used by another speaker. The words are given between quotation marks (" ") in writing: EG: "I'm coming now," he said. Indirect Speech Indirect Speech (also called Reported Speech) is used to communicate what someone else said, but without using the exact words. The tenses of the verbs are often changed.
First, they came for the spelling. I had spell check so I said nothing. Then, they came for the semicolons...

Adverbs are the words that give us more information about verbs. The adverbs add information to the verb. An example of a verb is a doing word or a being word – feel, walk. When you use adverbs in sentences it makes them much more interesting. Every verb you use in a sentence can have an adverb added to it. The boy smiled nervously The girl grinned sheepishly We usually use adverbs to de
Ever wondered what an adverbial is and how they are used in sentences? Read on to find out! An adverbial is an adverbial phrase, adverb or an adverbial clause which give us extra information about places, times or a manner of the action being described. We have been living here in this house for over thirty years We were sleeping peacefully in our beds when the lightning struck You can see f
Let’s look at words that can and can’t be used together in a sentence because of their negativity or positivity. Utter - Utterly The words utter and utterly are considered to be negative words therefore they shouldn’t be combined with a positive word. So the following examples would be incorrect: She was utterly excited She was utterly happy The words utter and utterly should only be
These two verbs, raise and rise, are almost the same – to move up from a low position to a higher one. The difference between the two verbs is actually grammatical. The verb raise needs an object, the verb rise cannot be used with an object. So, for example, you can write the following:“I think the company should raise their wages.” – The word wages is the object of the verb. Anoth
Where to place adverbs There are usually three places where adverbs can be positioned in a sentence. Adverbs can be placed at the beginning: Suddenly I had stomach ache I recently had a headache Adverbs can also be placed at the end: I had severe stomach ache suddenly I had a headache recently The majority of adverbs can be placed mid sentence which would be before the verb: I’m usuall
How to spot an adverb Adverbs can be quite complicated. This is because you cannot tell an adverb by looking at it. You can tell an adverb by what it does in a sentence. The play went well – The word ‘well’ describes the verb ‘went’, so ‘well’ is the adverb. The well had to be drained by noon – The word well in this sentence names something, therefore it is a noun The well wa

One reason I'm really looking forward to Hillary Clinton's (likely) concession, whenever it comes, is that one of the most annoying grammar mistakes I've ever seen will recede somewhat in the public discourse. People, including major bloggers, will simply not stop talking about "the Clinton's."
Look: one Clinton + one Clinton = two Clintons. No apostrophe. Even if your document editor puts a red underline underneath the word (as mine is doing right now), ignore it. It's "the Clintons."
This crops up with other names too, but people really seem to love to do it with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
I'd like to congratulate my fellow Seminal contributors on their mastery of this grammatical concept.

Conjunctions A conjunction is a word like AND, BUT, OR, SO, WHEN, etc., which connects words, phrases or clauses. Conjuncts A conjunct relates what is said in a sentence to another sentence. As such, it is not part of the structure of the sentence in which it is used. EG: However, things turned out much worse than expected. ('However' relates what is said to contrast it with previous information about the speaker's expectations.) All told, we did very well. ('All told' connects information that has already been given to produce a final conclusion that connects everything. In both examples it is possible to remove the conjunct without making the sentence ungrammatical.) Coordinating Conjunctions Coordinating conjunctions join two items of equal importance. For, and, nor, but, or,

Conditionals Apodosis Apodosis is a term for the main clause in a conditional sentence: If you tried it, you'd probably love it. The apodosis is you'd probably love it and if you tried it is the protasis (if clause). Protasis Protasis is a term for the if clause in a conditional sentence: If you go there, you'll enjoy it. If you go there is the protasis and you'll enjoy it is the apodosis. Conditionals The conditionals are used to talk about possible or imaginary situations. Follow the links below for further information: 1/ 1st Conditional 2/ 2nd Conditional 3/ 3rd Conditional 4/ Zero Conditional 5/ Mixed Conditionals 6/ Other Conditionals First Conditional The first conditional (or 1st Conditional) is for future actions dependent on the re
Articles Articles A, AN, and THE are called articles. THE is the Definite Article A and AN are both used for the Indefinite Article "The boy" refers to a definite, particular boy, but "A boy" refers to no particular boy; it could be any boy. When no article is used, it is sometimes referred to as the Zero Article. Articles belong to a group of words which are known as Determiners; they restrict or specify a noun in some way. Definite Article 'The' is the definite article is English. It is used to restrict the meaning of a noun to make it refer to something that is known by both the speaker or writer and the listener or reader: He's gone to the shops. (Here the listener knows which shops I mean) It can also be used to refer back to something that has already been
Sources from: Adjectives and Adverbs Adjectival Noun An Adjective can sometimes function as a Noun; the young, the rich, etc. These are Adjectival Nouns, meaning the people who are young, the people who are rich, etc. Adjective An adjective modifies a noun. It describes the quality, state or action that a noun refers to. ADJECTIVE RULES: i) Adjectives can come before nouns: a new car ii) Adjectives can come after verbs such as be, become, seem, look, etc.: that car looks fast iii) They can be modified by adverbs: a very expensive car iv) They can be used as complements to a noun: the extras make the car expensive Adjuncts An adjunct is part of a Sentence and modifies the Verb to show time, manner, place, frequency and degree.

I'm with this thing concerning the improvement of the grammars of your peers. Even if they don't, it's your choice to take responsibility of informing them of trivial nitty grits such as the one below. This BTW is taken from here. 10. A run-on sentence is a really long sentence. Wrong! They can actually be quite short. In a run-on sentence, independent clauses are squished together without the help of punctuation or a conjunction. If you write I am happy I am glad as one sentence without a semicolon, colon, or dash between the two independent clauses, it's a run-on sentence even though it only has six words. (See episode 49 for more details.) 9. You shouldn't start a sentence with the word however. Wrong! It's fine to start a sentence with however so long as you use a comma after it when

As Doug Fisher says on his blog, Common Sense Journalism:"So on this day to celebrate 'good' grammar, let's simply stop and take stock of what it is, or should be -- and what it isn't --and ask a simple question: Am I making myself as clear as I can to those with whom I am communicating? And we might ask what some of the conventions are and why they do or don't help us communicate."Here's the official National Grammar Day site, and here's the day's sponsor, the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar, aka SPOGG.And don't miss this article in the Chicago Tribune about not getting carried away on National Grammar Day.

Recently I received an email solicitation from a company that I know to be a successful, profitable organization. The email went on and on about why I should employ their services. It touted their past success rates, excellent promotions, etc. But I could only focus on one thing: The name of the company was misspelled in several places throughout the email. I couldn’t believe that an error this grievous had slipped through, but there it was. And because of it, I lost a lot of respect for this organization, despite all the impressive facts and figures they threw at me.If the most intelligent, accomplished physician in the world can’t present a well-written CV and cover letter, none of the accolades will mean much to prospective employers.

Hello to all. Hope you all remember about the survey on IM Language that I had told you about. I know that I’m a bit late in posting this; but as you know it’s better late then never!What Is IM Language? Now, what do you mean by IM Language, some of you might ask! According to me, IM language is Instant Messaging or texting language used primarily by kids using internet/mobile phones for IMing, sending e-mails and SMS etc. I am of the view that excessive usage of texting/instant messaging by children influences their grammar, spelling, etc., but I’m not opposed to it when I'm on the net. I don't always write everything out completely and use phrases like "brb", LOL etc. The FindingsI had earlier published a post 'IM Language Improves Grammar & Vocabulary!' and put a survey to know the view of my readers on this subject.

I feel a great pleasure in reading it and doing its exercises mainly because of one very important caracteristic that every didatic book should embody: the abundance of visual elements, especially the little comic strips and the numerous strong sayings uttered by various famous people, which are spread profusely throughout the book.

For my last grammar series entry, I present you with my pet peeve: the its/it's error. "Its" is a possessive pronoun. "It's" is a contraction for "it is."Don't confuse it's with its. It's is a contraction for it is. Its is the possessive. If you're having problems, replace the form of its you're using with it is. If it doesn't fit, use the other form of it's.It's a smart cat that tolerates its humans.
