Defenition of Adjectives
Adjective is a words which modifies/modify noun. Here adjective is also classified of noun. The modifier
may come before or after the noun.
Example : black board, flower garden, the books on the table, some pens, hotels to stay , etc.
Kind of adjectives
Remember that adjectives can modify as well as describe other words, and you’ll find it much easier to
identify different types of adjectives when you see them.
Articles
There are only three articles, and all of them are adjectives: a, an, and the. Because they are used to discuss
non-specific things and people, a and an are called indefinite articles. For example:
• I’d like a
• Let’s go on an
Neither one of these sentences names a specific banana or a certain adventure. Without more clarification,
any banana or adventure will do.
The word the is called the definite article. It’s the only definite article, and it is used to indicate very specific
people or things:
• Please give me a banana. I’d like the one with the green stem.
• Let’s go on an adventure. The Grand Canyon mule ride sounds perfect!
Possessive Adjectives
As the name indicates, possessive adjectives are used to indicate possession. They are:
• My
• Your
• His
• Her
• Its
• Our
• Their
Possessive adjectives also function as possessive pronouns
Demonstrative Adjectives
Like the article the, demonstrative adjectives are used to indicate or demonstrate specific people, animals, or
things. These, those, this and that are demonstrative adjectives.
• These books belong on that
• This movie is my favorite.
• Please put those cookies on the blue plate.
Coordinate Adjectives
• Coordinate adjectives are separated with commas or the word and, and appear one after another to
modify the same noun. The adjectives in the phrase bright, sunny day and long and dark night are
coordinate adjectives. In phrases with more than two coordinate adjectives, the word and always
appears before the last one; for example: The sign had big, bold, and bright letters.
• Be careful, because some adjectives that appear in a series are not coordinate. In the phrase green
delivery truck, the words green and delivery are not separated by a comma because green modifies
the phrase delivery truck. To eliminate confusion when determining whether a pair or group of
adjectives is coordinate, just insert the word and between them. If and works, then the adjectives are
coordinate and need to be separated with a comma
Numbers Adjectives
• When they’re used in sentences, numbers are almost always adjectives. You can tell that a number is
an adjective when it answers the question “How many?”
• The stagecoach was pulled by a team of six
• He ate 23 hotdogs during the contest, and was sick afterwards.
Interrogative Adjectives
There are three interrogative adjectives: which, what, and whose. Like all other types of adjectives,
interrogative adjectives modify nouns. As you probably know, all three of these words are used to
ask questions.
• Which option sounds best to you?
• What time should we go?
Whose socks are those?
Indefinite Adjectives
Like the articles a and an, indefinite adjectives are used to discuss non-specific things. You might recognize
them, since they’re formed from indefinite pronouns. The most common indefinite adjectives are any, many,
no, several, and few.
• Do we have any peanut butter?
• Grandfather has been retired for many
• There are no bananas in the fruit bowl.
• I usually read the first few pages of a book before I buy it.
• We looked at several cars before deciding on the best one for our family.
Attributive Adjectives
• Attributive adjectives talk about specific traits, qualities, or features – in other words, they are used
to discuss attributes. There are different kinds of attributive adjectives:
• Observation adjectives such as real, perfect, best, interesting, beautiful or cheapest can indicate
value or talk about subjective measures.
• Size and shape adjectives talk about measurable, objective qualities including specific physical
properties. Some examples include small, large, square, round, poor, wealthy, slow and
• Age adjectives denote specific ages in numbers, as well as general ages. Examples are old, young,
new, five-year-old, and
• Color adjectives are exactly what they sound like – they’re adjectives that indicate color. Examples
include pink, yellow, blue, and
• Origin adjectives indicate the source of the noun, whether it’s a person, place, animal or thing.
Examples include American, Canadian, Mexican, French.
• Material adjectives denote what something is made of. Some examples include cotton, gold,
wool, and
• Qualifier adjectives are often regarded as part of a noun. They make nouns more specific; examples
include log cabin, luxury car, and pillow cover.
EXAMPLES
• John is a tall man.
• This film is long.

INTERJECTION
1.1 DEFINITION
Interjection are use to express emotion or feeling of a speaker in situation.
Example :
Ouch! That hurts.
Well, I need a break!
Wow! What a beautiful dress!
Emotion an affective state of conscious in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate or the like is experienced, as distinguished
from cognitive and volitional states of conscientiousness.
Example:
He was crying!
He was very angry!
Feeling a state within the individual as a result of what he experienced or perceived.
Example:
In general, interjection is more often used when speaking than in writing, especially in scientific writing or
writing that is officially very rare.
The use of interjection also does not necessarily coalesce with a sentence, because an interjection can stand
on its own, and when it is united with any sentence, an interjection can be said to have no grammatical
relationship with the sentence.
There are several ways of using interjection that we can use. Here are the explanations:
At the beginning of the sentence
The use of interjection at the beginning of a sentence is the most common way performed by english users
both in Indonesia and in their home. Many also connect the use of interjection with the use of exclamation
point or in the Indonesian exclamation mark.
Example:
Ahh! It feels great.
Congrats! You have graduated .
In the middle and end of the sentence
Although in general the interjection is placed at the beginning of the sentence, but actually we can also used
in the middle, and end or in any part in a sentence that wants to be suppressed feelings by us as a speaker or
author.
Example:
That is absolutely! The biggest fish I’ve ever seen in my life.
This riddle is do confusing, argh!
Stand-alone sentence
An interjection can stand on its own and is called a stand-alone sentence.
Example:
Bah!
Oh dear!

Example :

Example :
• Box = Boxes

But words of foreign origin or abbreviated words ending in "o" adds "s" only :
Example :
• Piano = Pianos

3. Singular - O y (i + es)
Nouns ending in y followed by a consonant form their plural by dropping the y then ending "i es"

• 5. Gender of Nouns
Many common nouns, like "engineer" or "teacher," can refer to men or women. Once, many English
nouns would change form depending on their gender
o Gender noun can also be distinguished based on gender or sex as shown below
Masculine : Men, boys and male animals use the pronoun he/they
Feminine : nine, girls and female animal use the pronoun she/they
Neuter : inanimate things or animals whose sex we dont know, like baby, use the pronoun it they
Example :
• David Garrick was a very prominent eighteenth-century actor. (Masculine)
• Sarah Siddons was at the height of her career as an actress in the 1780s.(Feminine)
• The manager was trying to write a want ad, but he couldn't decide whether he was advertising for a
"waiter" or a "waitress" (Neutral)
6. Possesive of Nouns
In the possesive , a noun or pronoun changes its form to show that it owns or is closely related to
something else. Usually, nouns become possessive by adding a combination of an apostrophe and
the letter "s."
You can form the possessive case of a singular noun that does not end in "s" by adding an
apostrophe and "s," as in the following sentences:
Possesive Nouns Example :
• The red suitcase is Cassandra's.
• The only luggage that was lost was the prime minister's.
• The exhausted recruits were woken before dawn by the drill sergeant's screams.
• The miner's face was covered in coal dust.
Possesive Case Singular
You can form the possessive case of a singular noun that ends in "s" by adding an apostrophe alone
or by adding an apostrophe and "s," as in the following
Examples:
• The bus's seats are very uncomfortable.
• The film crew accidentally crushed the platypus' eggs.
D. NOUN PHRASES
A noun phrase is a phrase based on a noun, pronoun, or other noun-like word (nominal)
optionally accompanied by modifiers such as determiners and adjectives. A noun phrase functions
within a clause or sentence in a role such as that of subject, object, or complement of a verb or
preposition. For example, in the sentence "The black cat sat on a dear friend of mine", the noun
phrase the black cat serves as the subject, and the noun phrase a dear friend of mine serves as the
complement of the preposition on.

VERB
defenition
What is a verb?
-A verb is one of the main parts of a sentence or question in English.
In fact, you can’t have a sentence or a question without a verb! That’s how important these “action” parts of
speech are.
-The verb signals an action, an occurrence, or a state of being. Whether mental, physical, or mechanical,
verbs always express activity.
-A verb is the central unit of any sentence of clause, and all the other words in a sentence take grammatical
form based on how they relate to it. A verb can express action (run, live, change), or states of being (is, are)
or occurrences (happen, become). Sentences can have more than one verb. A clause is a sub-unit of a
sentence that has one verb.
-A verb is a word that characteristically is the grammatical center of a predicate and expresses an act,
occurrence, or mode of being, that in various languages is inflected for agreement with the subject, for
tense, for voice, for mood, or for aspect, and that typically has rather full descriptive meaning and
characterizing quality but is sometimes nearly devoid of these especially when used as an auxiliary or
linking verb.
-A definition which works is one based on structure and function rather than meaning. Some structural and
functional properties of verbs are:
1)If tense is marked anywhere in the clause it is marked on a verb, the first verb in the verb phrase.
2)If aspect is marked anywhere in the clause, it is marked on (and with) a verb.
3)In the present tense in a finite clause, the first verb in the verb phrase marks agreement with the subject in
person and in number.
DIFFERENCE IN DEFENITION
Some definitions stress meaning.
These definitions often leave people confused.
What are the actions in these sentences?
His reaction is wonderful.
Her understanding seemed clear.
Some definitions stress structure and function. These definitions provide ways to test words to see if they
are verbs. They require evidence to prove that words are verbs. These tests can be challenging to learn, but
produce consistently reliable results.
INFLECTION AND BASE FORM
-One property of verbs is that they inflect. Inflection means they change form. So let’s start by looking at
what we mean by the “forms” of the verb
-All English verbs start with a “base” form. This is the form you look up to learn about the verb in the
dictionary. If you look up one of the other forms, you will be referred back to the base form. The base form
is always uninflected, because it hasn’t been changed.
If you aren’t around a dictionary, you can always figure out the base form by filling in a verb in sentences
like ONE of these:
EXAMPLE:
I really like to ______ (other words).
I really like to swim.
I really like to be (silly).
I really like to stab (the wet ground with a pitch fork). OR
That _________frequently.
That happens frequently.
That occurs frequently.
The infinitive form of the verb is formed is formed by adding “to” in front of the base form. The infinitive
form is not an inflected form of the verb, since no change happens to the actual form of the verb.
EXAMPLES:
to have; to be; to do; to imply; to run
This is the form of the verb used to form the third person singular in the present tense. In English, this is
most commonly formed by simply adding “s” or “es”, but there are spelling exceptions:
EXAMPLES:
have >>has; do>>does; imply>>implies
Most dictionaries, including online ones, will mark exceptions to form rules.Whenever a verb form is
slightly different than the general pattern (in other words there is an exception to the form rule), the verb or
the form is called irregular.
The -ing participle form
This form is produced by adding -ing to the base. Again, there are sometimes spelling changes in the base
(usually dropped final “e” or doubling of the final consonant).
EXAMPLES:
do> doing; have > having; go>going; be> being; write>writing; cut> cutting
The past tense form
This is the form used to create the past tense of the verb. In English many, but not all, verbs are formed by
adding “d” or “ed” to the base form. There are numerous exceptions. And some verbs have two past tense
forms!
EXAMPLES:
walk> walked; go> went; have> had; see> saw; cut> cut; reject> rejected.
Run > ran (past tense form)> run (past participle form).
Some important differences
The past tense form is used by itself to express the past tense.
I walked a mile yesterday.
The past participle form is used with other verbs (called auxiliaries) to form perfect aspect or passive.
I have walked ten miles. The dog was walked by his owner.
Figuring out the past participle
You can always figure out the past participle of the verb by moving the base form through a sentence with a
form of the auxiliary verb “have.”
EXAMPLE:
The man has ___________ (other words).
(buy) The man has bought (a gift).
(die) The man has died.
The accident has __________.
(happen) The accident has happened.
Type of verb
Regular verb is that they form their different tenses according to an estabilishedpattern .
EXAMPLE :
-I think be He laugh with my answer
-She loves her boyfriend
-The only answer he got right were the ones he had copied .
TRANSITIVE VERB
Defenition :
A transitive verb is a verb that can take a direct object.
In other words, it is done to someone or some thing.
example :
- He read a book
( Read( from to read) is a transitive verb. In this example , the direct object is a book. To read is transitive
because you can read something )
INTRANSITIVE VERB
An Intransitive verb contrasts a transitive verb. An intransitive verb cannot have a direct object.
Example :
- He snores
( snores ( from to snore) is an intransitive verb .
It has no direct object . You cannot snore something .)
Some verbs can be transitive or intransitive, depending on how they are used in a sentence .
Example :
- They cheered
They cheered the band
- She sang
She sang a song
- Larry tripped
Larry tripped alex
LEXICAL VERB
Defenition :
Lexical verb is also called as main verb or full verb.
We can define it as “lexical verb is any verb that is not an auxiliary verb (helping verb) “ .
The verb phrase used is a sentence is headed by the lexical verb .
Example :
- He laughed - He googled my question
- They ran - She danced in public
Lexical verbs become main verbs in the phrase or sentence. Lexical verbs can be any verb which is not
auxiliary verb. It carries its own meaning that’s why can exist alone in the sentence and don’t necessarily
need the use of helping or auxiliary verb .
Example of lexical verbs :
- run - think - pull
- laugh - want - walk
- see - act - make
( in this sentence, ‘was’ is auxiliary verb where as ‘acting’ is lexical verb as it describes the main state or
action of the subject .)
Gerund or infinitife
A gerund is a verb in its ing (present participle) form that functions as a noun that names an activity rather
than a person or thing. Any action verb can be made into a gerund.
GERUND EXAMPLE
Gerunds can appear at the beginning of a sentence when used as a subject:
-Jogging is a hobby of mine.
Gerunds can act as an object following the verb:
-Daniel quit smoking a year ago.
Gerunds can serve as an object after a preposition:
-I look forward to helping you paint the house.
Note: The same spelling rules that apply to the progressive tenses also apply to gerunds.
An infinitive is a verb form that acts as other parts of speech in a sentence.
It is formed with to + base form of the verb. Ex: to buy, to work.
Infinitives can be used as:
1) an object following the verb:
-Jim always forgets to eat
2) a subject at the beginning of a sentence:
-To travel around the world requires a lot of time and money.
3) an adverb modifying a verb:
-You promised to buy me a diamond ring.
4) an adjective modifying a noun:
-Tara has the ability to succeed.
5) Some verbs are directly followed by an infinitive:
-Do you want to call your family now?
6) Some verbs are directly followed by a noun or pronoun and then by an infinitive:
-I convinced Catherine to become vegetarian.
LINKING VERB
Defenition :
A linking verb is connects the subject with a word that gives information about the subject, suc as a
condition or relationship.
They do not show any action; but they link the subject with the rest of the sentence.
The linking verb :
- is - went - acted
- appears - look - sound
- smell - might have been - am
EXAMPLE:
-William is excited about his promotion
-She appears upset about the announcement
-The eggs smell rotten
-He went red after tripping on the rug
-Your plans for the wedding sound nice
-You look exhausted after studying all night
-I am putty in his hands
-Maria might have been more forthcoming with the news
INCHOATIVE VERB
An inchoative verb, sometimes called an “inceptive” verb.
Show a process of beginning or becoming.
The inchoative verbs denote the beginning of an action, state, or occurrence.
They are formed with the suffix –sc- and are classivied into three groups :
1) The primitive inchoative verb
2) The verbal inchoative
3) The nominal inchoative verb
COVULATIVE VERB
Defenition :
A copulative verb is one that connects the subject of a sentence with noun (or noun phrase) that is
equivalent of the subject or an adjective that describe the subject .
Example :
1) we jumped for joy
2) rabbits burrow into the sides of hills
3 This mountain belongs to the appalachian range
FINITE VERB
Defenition :
a finite verb ( sometimes called main verbs) is a verb that has a subject, thismeans that it can be the main
verb in a sentence. It shows tense ( past / present, etc) or number ( singular/ plural )
Example :
I live in germany.
( is the subject – live describes what the subjects does – live is a finite verb)
NON-FINITE VERB
Defenition :
A non- finite verb has no subject, tense or number.
The only non-finite verb forms are the infinitive ( indicated by to) , the gerund or the participle .
Example :
I travelled to germany to improve my german. ( to improve is in the infinitive form )
