Class wakeup shock.
What It means
Prepositions: are words that show the relationship of a noun (or pronoun) to
another word. A prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun. They usually tell where or when, and the sentence still makes
sense if the phrase is removed from the sentence.
EX- The books in my new backpack are heavy.("In" is the preposition, "backpack" the noun.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transitional words: connect ideas, pointing out the relationships between
sentences. The answer is how, when, where, why, how long, how much-
and/ or comparison, contrast, degree, time, and/ or cause and effect.
EX-First, I will explain how to find the correct book. (Implies there are other things to explain.) I will paint until Mom comes home, (tells how long)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An adjective clause: modifies a noun or pronoun, an dusually starts with that,
which, who, whom, or whose. It is generally right after the word it is modifying. The sentence still makes sense if the clause is removed.
EX-The girls who had won the relay race thanked their coach.(describes which girls.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An infinitive: is a verb that is used as a noun or adjective and starts with "to". EX- She tried to win. or I hope to learn spanish.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A participial phrase: is a verb ending in "ing" or "ed", includes the modifiers and nouns, and used as an adjective.. The sentence will still make sense if the phrase is removed.EX-Reading the assignment, she took careful notes. ("reaad" is the verb + "ing", "assignment" the noun)
The Children found a note folded in a blue bottle. ("fold" is verb + "ed",
"bottle" the noun)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An idiom: is commonly used expression, often based on comparisons, that is not literally true.
EX- "She dumped me." Or"My heart is broken."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An analogy: is a comparison of one thing that is similar to another in at least one way.
EX-"A cobra spreads its hood by spreading its neck ribs, much like how you'd open an umbrella."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A metaphor: is a comparison between two unlike things.
EX-"my love is a red, red rose."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A simile: is a comparison between two unlike things using like or as.
EX- "raising tennagers is like nailing jello to a tree."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trigger events: are important parts of the story "trigger" the next event. Without the trigger events, the plod would not advance. When telling what a story is about, trigger events are the most important "what happened, and then what, and then what" ideas. Foreshadow is to give the reader a hint about what will happen later in the book.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took me an hour to write this in class, for an essay. When I was in class, and when everything was going on, it just happen, I felt like I had some kindve of spacing out, then I understood everything that was brought up.
This helped me alot, today. I guess I survived a massive essay. I hope you guys congrat me on an me getting an A+!
