The content of this ebook was written by Maeve Maddox and Daniel Scocco. 2 Introduction This ebook does not attempt to include every aspect of English grammar found in a traditional school textbook. Its purpose is to present a brief review of grammar terms necessary to an understanding of the most common errors that occur in ordinary, nonacademic writing. Because written language is an arrangement of words, understanding how words work individually and in groups is essential to correct written expression. The sports fan must understand terms like shortstop, quarterback and center in order to follow the description of a game. Similarly, those who wish to speak and write standard English must master the concepts that we will cover ahead. 3 Section 1: The Sentence The basic unit of speech and writing is the sentence. A sentence is a series of words that form a complete thought, for example: Birds fly. Samuel Johnson's father ran a bookstore. My two black cats enjoy lazing in the sun. A complete sentence has two main parts: subject and predicate. 1.1 The Subject When we speak or write, we speak or write about something. The subject is what is being spoken about. For example: Birds fly. (the subject is "birds") 4 Samuel Johnson's...

If one action in the past precedes another, and need to clarify or emphasize the time sequence, then use the Past Perfect tense. In a more subtle example, you can use the Past Progressive to describe a background event , while you use Simple Past to describe a more important event in the foreground .(语 义不在一个层级) PRESENT PROGRESSIVE PAST PROGRESSIVE FUTURE PROGRESSIVE Still In Effect… PRESENT PERFECT= HAVE/HAS + Past Participle the Present Perfect indicates either continued action or continued effect of a completed action. only to clarify or emphasize a sequence of past events. BUT if the sequence is already obvious, we often do not need Past Perfect. The Earlier A sequence of verbs with the same subject does not require Past Perfect. Rather, use Action(also indicate the Simple Past for all the verbs. continued effect ) PAST Clauses linked by and or but do not require the Past Perfect as a general rule. ...

...together too many clauses with “and” or “but,” you dilute the meaning of your text. However, an occasional compound or compound-complex sentences is acceptable, just for variety. Guideline 3: Vary Sentences Length but Seek an Average Length of 15-20 Words Of course, do not think your writing process by counting words while you write. Instead, analyze one of your previous reports to see how you fare. If your sentences are too long, make an effort to shorten them, such as by making two sentences out of one compound sentences connected by “and” or a “but.” a.b. Being Concise: Guideline 1: Replace Abstract Nouns with Verbs Concise writing depends more on verbs that it does on nouns. Sentences that contain abstract nouns, specially ones with more than two syllables, can be shortened by focusing on strong verbs instead. By converting abstract nouns to action verbs, you can eliminate wordiness, as the following sentences illustrate : Wordy:” The acquisition of the...

...FUTURE TENSE In Dutch, the future tense is expressed by using the construction gaan (to go) + infinitive for actions which will take place in the near (or immediate) future, and zullen (to shall, will) + infinitive for actions which will take place in the not so near future or when the time of the future action is unknown. In such constructions, the verbs gaan and zullen are used in the simple present tense. The conjugations for the two irregular verbs are shown below. | gaan (to go) | zullen (shall, will) | | | Dutch | | English | Ik ga. | | I am going. | Jij/U gaat. | | You are going. | Hij/Zij/Het gaat. | | He/She/It is going. | Wij gaan. | | We are going. | Jullie gaan. | | You are going. | Zij gaan. | | They are going. | | Dutch | | English | Ik zal. | | I will. | Jij/U zult/zal. | | You will | Hij/Zij/Het zal. | | He/She/It will. | Wij zullen. | | We will. | Jullie zullen. | | You will. | Zij zullen. | | They will. | | In the second person singular of the verb zullen, there are two alternatives which might be used. There is no specific rule as to which form should be used. It largely depends on personal preference. Some examples of the future tense: Future tense with 'gaan': Ik ga koken. = I am going to cook. Hij gaat een beetje lezen. = He is going to read a littlebit. Wij gaan studeren. = We are going to study. Jullie gaan sluiten. = You are going to close.
