For other parts of speech, it discusses their types and functions in sentences.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of verbs and adverbs. It explains that verbs express actions, mental states or states of being. Examples are given of action verbs, linking verbs, and verbs in different tenses. Adverbs are defined as words that modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. The document then categorizes and provides examples of different types of adverbs including manner, place, frequency, time and purpose.
The document discusses syntax and its key aspects:
1. Syntax refers to the arrangement of words in sentences and the rules governing their combinations to form grammatically correct sentences.
2. It involves analyzing the hierarchical structure of sentences by breaking them down into constituent parts such as noun phrases and verb phrases.
3. Phrase structure rules are used to represent sentences as trees to show the constituent structure and linear order of words.
This document provides an overview of subjects, verbs, and other parts of speech in sentences. It defines the subject as the person, place, thing or idea that the sentence is about. Verbs express action and tell what the subject is doing. There are also linking verbs that connect the subject to something said about it, and helping verbs that combine with the main verb. The chapter discusses identifying subjects and verbs, and provides examples of sentences with prepositional phrases crossed out and subjects and verbs highlighted.
1. Verbs can be classified into several categories including action verbs, stative verbs, transitive verbs, intransitive verbs, linking verbs, helping/auxiliary verbs, modal verbs, regular verbs, irregular verbs, and phrasal verbs.
2. Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern of adding "-ed" in the past tense, while irregular verbs do not follow a predictable pattern.
3. Verbs have different forms including simple, perfect, and progressive that can be combined together.
The document discusses helping verbs. It explains that verb phrases can contain multiple verbs, with the last verb being the main verb and any others being helping verbs. It provides examples of sentences with helping verbs and lists common helping verbs such as may, might, must, be, do, have, and shall. The document cautions that some verbs on the list can be main verbs depending on their position in the verb phrase.
This document discusses finite and non-finite verbs. A finite verb shows tense and has a subject, while a non-finite verb does not show tense or have a subject. The document provides examples of infinitives, gerunds, and participles as types of non-finite verbs. It also discusses clauses, types of sentences including simple, compound, complex and compound-complex, and includes exercises to identify verbs and sentence structures.
The document discusses different types of sentence fragments, including dependent-word fragments, -ing and to fragments, added-details fragments, and missing-subject fragments. It provides examples of each type of fragment and explains how to correct fragments by making the word group into a complete sentence with a subject and verb. The types of fragments are the most common ones to watch out for and the document offers guidance on how to check for fragments in one's writing.
An adverb is a word that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. There are several types of adverbs including adverbs of manner, time, place, frequency, and degree. Adverbs can appear in different positions within a sentence, most commonly in the mid, front, or end position depending on the specific adverb. Conjunctive adverbs are used to connect clauses and show relationships such as sequence, contrast, and cause and effect.
The document provides information on various grammar concepts related to verbs. It discusses action verbs and direct objects, helping verbs and linking verbs. It also covers forming verbs in the present, past and future tense, subject-verb agreement, irregular verbs, verb phrases using "have", and distinguishing between similar verb pairs like teach/learn and sit/set. The document aims to teach grammar rules for identifying and using different types of verbs.
The document discusses the formation of adverbs of manner from adjectives. It notes that adverbs of manner are usually formed by adding -ly to the adjective. However, for adjectives ending in -ic, -al is added before -ly, and for adjectives ending in -le preceded by a consonant, the -e is changed to -y before adding -ly. It provides examples to illustrate these patterns of adverb formation from adjectives.
This document discusses the differences between active and passive voice in English sentences. It explains that in active voice, the subject performs the action, while in passive voice, the subject receives the action. The document provides instructions for changing active sentences to passive, including changing the subject and object positions and adding a form of "be" plus the past participle verb. It discusses when to use passive voice, such as when the action is more important than the actor, and common mistakes to avoid, like using passive forms with verbs that cannot be passive.
Verbs are the most important words in a sentence and every sentence must contain at least one verb. Verbs can change form depending on tense, person, number, and whether they are used in the active or passive voice. In the active voice, the subject performs the action, while in the passive voice the subject has the action done to it. Sentences can be changed between the active and passive voice by making the recipient of the action the subject and using "by" to indicate who is performing the action.

This document discusses the three types of verbals: gerunds, participles, and infinitives. It provides examples and explanations of each type of verbal phrase, how they function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs, and how to identify them in sentences. Key points include that gerunds end in "-ing" and function as nouns, participles can end in "-ing", "-ed", or "-en" and act as adjectives, and infinitives use "to + verb" and can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs.
This document discusses finite and non-finite verbs, different types of clauses, and types of sentences. It provides examples of finite verbs, which have subjects and show tense, and non-finite verbs like infinitives, gerunds, and participles.

It also discusses compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences formed using coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.
A phrase is a group of words that does not contain a subject and verb but acts as a part of speech. The most common type is a prepositional phrase, which can function as an adjective or adverb. Prepositional phrases describe or modify nouns and verbs. Other types of phrases include verbal phrases such as infinitives, gerunds, and participles, which act as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs rather than verbs. Participial phrases contain a participle and act as adjectives by modifying nouns. Gerund phrases contain a gerund and can function as subjects, direct objects, or objects of prepositions.

The document discusses active and passive sentences, as well as root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Active sentences follow the subject-verb pattern and show what the subject is doing, while passive sentences focus on what happened and can omit or reveal who did the action using "by". Prefixes are added to the beginning of words to change their meaning, and you can determine a prefix's meaning by analyzing words that share it. Suffixes are added to the end of words to change grammar, such as indicating an action or adding an "er" or "est" for comparisons.

This document discusses formal and informal language and how it depends on audience and purpose. It explains that formal language is used in school and when writing to unknown people, avoiding contractions and using proper vocabulary and grammar. Standard English should be used in most school writing and unknown audiences to communicate formally. The audience is who is listening or reading, and the purpose is the reason for communicating - to entertain, inform, instruct, persuade or explain - which determines whether language is formal or informal.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
ย
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).
