LESSON 28: REVIEW & QUIZ It's time to pause and review what you've learned. Teachers, you’ll find quiz # 7 on pages 8-11 of this lesson. Give the quiz after going through the exercises.
• Subjects tell us whom or what a sentence is about. Subjects can be nouns or pronouns.
• Verbs express actions or states of being. You've learned about helping verbs and main verbs.
• Verb Types: Verbs can be intransitive complete, transitive active, transitive passive, or intransitive linking.
• Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns.
• Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
• Nouns can perform different jobs in sentences. (subject, direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition, predicate noun, nouns of direct address)
• Pronouns take the place of nouns.
• Interjections show excitement or emotion.
• Coordinating conjunctions link equal words, phrases, or clauses together.
• Subordinating conjunctions link dependent adverb clauses with independent clauses.
• Commands are also called imperative sentences. They always have the subject you understood.
• Phrases are groups of words, without both a subject and a verb, functioning as one part of speech.
• Clauses are groups of words with a subject and a verb. The two basic kinds of clauses are independent clauses and dependent clauses.
• Dependent clauses function as a single part of speech. You've learned about adverb clauses and noun clauses. (You'll learn about adjective clauses in lesson 29.)
