Taking a test on Wednesday will be no fun.

GRAMMAR JEOPARDY
ReplyDeleteNOUNAGE
100 Concerning the definition, a noun is considered to be a person, place, thing, or what?
200 If a noun becomes the “completer” of a sentence, it is called this.
300 If a noun follows a linking verb, it cannot be a direct object. Instead, it is called, “this.”
400 Nouns that are used to represent months and days of the week actually don’t function like nouns
at all. Instead, they are considered these.
500 A noun that follows a preposition or a preposition plus an article is called this.
VERBAGE
100 In function, almost all verbs should be considered this, the penultimate function in a sentence.
200 When a verb is placed behind the preposition “to”, it is called “this.”
300 A verb that manages to change the tense of another verb is called a helping verb or less common name that Mr. Bair couldn’t seem to spell no matter how hard he tried.
400 A verb form that ends in –ing that is used as a noun is called this, and a verb form ending in –ing that works like an adjective, is called this.
500 Thinking carefully, a verb, when formed with other words too, can have this exact number of functions.
MODIFIERS
100 This part of speech is actually not considered a modifier. It merely introduces a noun, so it is diagrammed the same way as a modifier.
200 An adjective must modify this part of speech.
300 An adverb can modify these three parts of speech.
400 While a prepositional phrases can modify almost anything, at least 75% are placed under this function in a diagram.
500 The preposition “of” always modifies a noun or pronoun. Therefore, we call it this type of phrase.
CONJUNCTION JUNCTION
100 These types of conjunctions always use rockets or stairs to connect information.
200 This type of conjunction connects information that is considered a fragment without an independent sentence connected to it.
300 Words like “therefore”, “however”, and “furthermore” are actually adverbs because they tell when, where, why, how, and to what extent. When used as conjunctions, they are diagrammed exactly the same as this type of conjunction.
400 If a sentence uses a dashed line and a set of stairs, we know that it contains at least this many clauses.
500 While there is a separate part of speech called a conjunction, these two parts of speech, somehow, are used as conjunctions more frequently than not.
GRAMMATICAL VOMIT
100 This part of speech is always placed on a line above a sentence because it has no “true” function in the sentence.
200 When a sentence is stated as a command, this is ALWAYS the subject.
300 Stilts are used in diagrams whenever a sentence contains these two types of verbals.
400 The receiver of the direct object who can always be removed from a sentence is called this.
500 A sentence that contains the subject after the predicate, is called “this”, and it is considered a grammatical “no-no.”
