adjective - answer-a word, phrase or clause that modifies a noun (the biology book) or
pronoun (he is nice). It answers the question what kind (a hard test), which one (an
english test) how many (three tests) or how much (many tests).

,verbs, prouns, and nouns can act as adjectives.



adjectives usually precede the noun or noun phrase that they modify.



adverb - answer-A word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.



Examples:



verb; the physician operates quickly :quickly:

adjective: the nurse wears very colorful uniforms :colorful:

another adverb: the student scored quite badly on the test :quite:



independent clause - answer-expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a
sentence.



the professor distributed the examinations as soon the students were seated.



"the professor distributed the examinations" expresses a complete thought and can
stand alone as a sentence



Independent clauses are used to write simple and compound sentences.



dependent clause - answer-beings with a subordinating conjunction and does not
express a complete thought and therefore cannot stand alone as a sentence.



"as soon as the students were seated" does not express a compete thought. it needs
the independent clause to complete the meaning and form the sentence.

, Dependent clauses are added to an independent clause. When a sentence begins with
a dependent clause, use a comma to set it apart from the independent clause. however
when the dependent clause is at the end of the sentence it should not be proceeded by
a coma



cliche - answer-



compound sentence - answer-is a sentence that has two or more independent clauses.
Each independent has a subject and a predicate and can stand alone as a sentence.
When two independent clauses are joined by a coordinating cojunction such as and,
but, or, or nor, place a comma before the conjunction.,



example: The professor thoughts the test was too easy, but the students thought it was
too hard.



direct object - answer-the person or thing that is directly affected by the action of the
verb. This term answers the question what or whom after a transitive verb.



The students watched the professor distribute the examinations.



the professor answers whom the students watched.



euphemism - answer-



indirect object - answer-is the person or thing that is indiretly affected by the action of
the verb. A sentence can have an indirect object only if it has a direct object. An indirect
object answers the questions to whom, for whom, to what for what after an action verb.



indirect objects come between the verb and the direct object.



the professor gave his class the test results.
