Document Summary
By dr. norman p. lewis, university of florida. A noun is a person, place, thing or idea. An article (a, an or the) marks a noun. When you see an article, you know a noun is near. The word to which a pronoun points is its antecedent. Be careful of pronouns with unclear antecedents and avoid those with none. An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun. An adverb modifies or quantifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb. Many words ending in ly are adverbs (though not all, such as family). If i were president, students would get free tickets. (i"m not the president. ) If i was rude, i apologize. (i may have been rude. ) 8 conjunction a conjunction joins two or more words, phrases or clauses. 9 preposition a preposition starts a modifying phrase. Words should be parallel, matching in style and ending. 11 linking verb a linking verb indicates a state of being.
