ACC Eng 2 Grammar

New concept: Subject-Verb Agreement

Indefinite pronouns - Singular

anybody, anyone, anything each, either, everybody, everyone, everything, neither, either, nobody, no one, nothing, one, somebody, someone, something

Anything left in the gym goes in the lost and found box.

Somebody deflates all the volleyballs at the end of the season.

Indefinite pronouns - Plural

both, few, many, several

Many children celebrate Halloween this week.

Don't forget my "They/He" test! Ex: "They celebrate Halloween this week."

Tricky -- Some indefinite pronouns can be either singular or plural!

For these, look at the object of the preposition to determine the verb.

all, any, more, most, none, some

Some [of the eggs] was/were rotten, so I threw them away. eggs = plural (were)

More [of the carpet] is/are damaged in the bedroom than in the hallway. carpet = singular (is)

If you have two subjects - one singular, one plural...

Choose the verb based on the subject that is the closest in the sentence.

joined by "either, or / neither, nor"

Ex: Either the bus or the cars [are] causing the traffic jam.

Ex: Neither strawberries nor milk [makes] him sick.

Review: apostrophes

common, proper, possessive

apostrophes

In Kentucky, apostrophes are taught in 2nd grade!

This skill is not considered progressive; in other words it should be mastered in 2nd grade. And yet...it's one of the most frequently missed skills on the ACT.

apostrophes

First, let's define a few words:

1. Singular 1 object or person 2. Plural 2 or more 3. Possessive 3 a word that indicates ownership

Rule 1: Use an apostrophe to indicate omitted letters when words are contracted.

Ex: They are not going to the game. They aren't going to the game. ARE + NOT = Aren't

Ex: We will probably ... We'll probably....have time to stop at the park. WE + WILL = We'll

Common contractions: I'm don't you're doesn't they're here's it's didn't you've isn't

Rule 2: Apostrophes are added to nouns to show possession

Singular noun ending in "s" - Add an apostrophe

Singular noun - Add an apostrophe and an "s"

Mr. Sears' truck is parked on Maple Street.

The baby's toy is lying on the sidewalk.

Rule 2: Apostrophes are added to nouns to show possession

Plural noun NOT ending in "s" - Add an apostrophe and an "s"

Plural noun ending in "s" - Add only an apostrophe

Our neighbors' trees were struck by lightning.

The children's coins spilled all over the floor.
