The document discusses the appositive and provides three examples:
1. An appositive is a noun that renames a previous noun for more detail or emotion.
2. It provides the example sentence "The car, a new Porsche, ran out of gas" where Porsche is the appositive.

It provides definitions and examples of discourse, text, and their key properties. It also explains different types of morphemes, affixes, compound words, and common context clues used to determine the meaning of unknown words.
This document provides examples and instructions for varying sentence structure through different techniques:
- Beginning sentences with prepositional phrases to add variety. Short prepositional phrases may not need commas.
- Using compound predicates containing more than one verb to combine two simple sentences with the same subject.
- Joining ideas with "-ing" modifiers by converting the first verb to "-ing" and dropping the subject to indicate simultaneous actions.
- Combining sentences with past participial modifiers by changing the first sentence into a past participle that introduces the second sentence.

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.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
Dreamin in Color '24 - (Workshop) Design an API Specification with MuleSoft's...Alexandra N. Martinez
This workshop was presented in New Orleans for the Dreamin' in Color conference on June 21, 2024.
Presented by Alex Martinez, MuleSoft developer advocate at Salesforce.
1. The basics of sentences
Thinking about complex punctuation
Colons – semicolons – parenthesis (commas, brackets or dashes), hyphens, bullet points and ellipsis
2. Colons
Use colons to introduce information as a list.
What you will need: a spade, some water and a seed.
The little hobbit packed: a bed, plenty of food and a fire-stone.
Also, to formally introduce an explanation or example.
Badgers have thick fur: this keeps them warm in winter.
3. Semicolons
Use semicolons to link two main clauses that relate.
Bob was sad; Sue was happy.
The blue whale is the largest mammal on the planet; it weighs
as much as the equivalent of 33 elephants.
The blue whale is the largest mammal; the Etruscan shrew is
the smallest.
4. Semicolons
They can also be used instead of commas within complex lists.
Bob ate vast salads smothered in olive oil; bananas, which
came from Kenya, grilled with butter; slices of papaya with
lime juice; and a glass of orange juice.
5. a. Parenthesis - commas
Drop in extra information or explanation with commas.
You can use commas with relative clauses:
Brian, who was angry, stamped his three feet!
You can also drop in ‘ed-ing-ly’:
Brian, hoping he was safe, jumped across the bridge.
You can also drop in other subordinate clauses:
Brian, after eating the donut, slept all afternoon.
6. b. Parenthesis - brackets
Drop in extra information or explanation with brackets.
Brian (the oldest son) laughed aloud.
7. c. Parenthesis - dashes
You can use dashes – which often sound less formal:
She saw a cat – just like her own Timmy – curled fast asleep.
Dashes can be used to tag on an afterthought or comment:
The car pulled up – the doctor had arrived.
8. Hyphens – join
Use hyphens to link 2 words to act as a single noun.
They can be nouns such as kennings:
He gripped the skull-basher.
The night-flyer perched.
A storm-catcher pulled out his net.
9. Hyphens – join
Use hyphens to link 2 words to act as a single adjective.
The Etruscan shrew is penny-sized.
The fire dragon is copper-coloured, snub-snouted and
furnace-hot.
They are sometimes used to connect a prefix and root word:
We need to re-cover the chairs.
10. Ellipsis
Ellipsis shows that a word or phrase has been missed out.
The door slammed…
The dragon opened its mouth and…
After he sneezed, they gasped…
We often use ellipsis to build tension.
11. Bullet points
Use bullet points to organize a list for the reader.
They are often used in instructions.
• Open your dragon’s jaws.
• Drop in the medicine.
• Close the jaws.
• Hide at some distance and wait.
