Topic sentence

Topic sentence

 The topic sentence is a primarily prescriptive grammatical term to describe the sentence in an expository paragraph which summarizes the main idea of that paragraph


 



  It is usually, but not always, the first sentence in a paragraph. The topic sentence acts as a kind of summary, and offers the reader an insightful view of the writer’s main ideas for the following paragraph

 More than just being a mere summary, however, a topic sentence often provides a claim or an insight directly or indirectly related to the thesis

  It adds cohesion to a paper and helps organize ideas both within the paragraph and the whole body of work at large.

 


A topic sentence (also known as a focus sentence) encapsulates or organizes an entire paragraph. Although topic sentences may appear anywhere in a paragraph, in academic essays they often appear at the beginning.

Performative Verbs or Declaratives

Performative Verbs

 

I Speak, Therefore I Act

Performatives sound a bit mystical at first, like a spell or incantation. But in fact such verbs are quite commonplace. If you’ve ever said, “I promise” or “I apologize,” you have performed those actions by the simple act of saying them. You’re not talking about doing these things or stating that you’re doing them; you’re actually doing them. The same is true when you say, “I bet,” “I invite,” “I request,” or “I protest,” for example. There are countless other examples, such as:
  • I now pronounce you husband and wife.
  • I’m warning you, don’t go in there.
  • I thank you for your kind attention.
  • You’re fired!
  • I must ask you to leave now.
  • I christen this ship The Daydream.
  • I claim this land in the name of the king of England.

 more info: http://itotd.com/articles/419/performative-verbs/

Verbs of Perception

Verbs of Perception refer to those verbs which talk about sensing:
  • see/look/watch/notice/observe
  • hear/listen to
  • taste
  • smell
  • touch/feel
  • sense


These verbs can be used in different ways.


Progressive

Used in the progressive, these verbs indicate the subject is focussing on a particular object:
He is watching television
She's listening to music
He was smelling different perfumes
I am feeling ill.




Object + Infinitive

Some verbs of perception can be used with an object and then the infinitive (without to):
{verb of perception} + {object} + {infinitive}
I watched it explode.
I heard them shout.
Note that we don't use this construction for taste, smell or touch. However, we can use it with feel:
I felt him shudder.
She felt him relax.
 

Verbs of Perception


Verbs of Perception

Set 1 (action)
listen to
look at
touch
smell
taste

Set 2 (non-action)
hear
see*
feel*
smell
taste

Set 3 (non-action)
sound
look
feel
smell
taste



Set 1 verbs indicate that the perceiver is "focusing" on a specific object. They can be used in the progressive.
    He is listening to the radio.
    They are looking at the picture.
    She is smelling the flowers.



Set 2 verbs indicate general perception and are non-progressive.
    He hears a noise.
    They see flames.
    She smells smoke.

    (Not: He is hearing…)
    (Not: They are seeing...)
 

Set 3 verbs indicate appearance. (It "seems"…) They are non-progressive.
    That sounds like thunder.
    This looks terrible.
    It smells fishy.

    (describes the object, not the perceiver)
*When feel is used to describe emotions, the progressive is sometimes used.
    I feel great today.
    I feel cold today.
    .

    I am feeling great today.
    (physical feeling is usually non-progressive)
*See can sometimes be used in expressions in the progressive.
    She is seeing the doctor.
    He is seeing another woman.

Special Usage of Certain Verbs of Perception

Some verbs of perception see, look at, hear, listen to, and feel, along with watch and sense can be used with objects followed by other verbs (base form or gerunds, but not infinitives).


Note the examples below:

We heard you leave. (Okay. Emphasis on our hearing.)
We heard you leaving. (Okay. Emphasis on your leaving.)
We heard you to leave. (Incorrect!)

Other examples:

I saw her go.
Look at that man run!
Sylvesterlistened to the canary sing.
We watched them play basketball.
We watched them playing basketball.
Trudy can feel the wind blowing against her skin.
Mr. Todd sensed the lion approaching.

PRONUNCIATION OF ( S ) IN NOUNS

PRONUNCIATION OF ( S ) IN NOUNS - GRANOLLERS .wmv

The plural form of most nouns

The plural form of most nouns is created simply by adding the letter s.
  • more than one snake = snakes
  • more than one ski = skis
  • more than one Barrymore = Barrymores
  •  
  •  


Words that end in -ch, x, s or s-like sounds, however, will require an -es for the plural:
  • more than one witch = witches
  • more than one box = boxes
  • more than one gas = gases
  • more than one bus = buses
  • more than one kiss = kisses
  • more than one Jones = Joneses



Note that some dictionaries list "busses" as an acceptable plural for "bus." Presumably, this is because the plural "buses" looks like it ought to rhyme with the plural of "fuse," which is "fuses." "Buses" is still listed as the preferable plural form. "Busses" is the plural, of course, for "buss," a seldom used word for "kiss."
There are several nouns that have irregular plural forms. Plurals formed in this way are sometimes called mutated (or mutating) plurals.
  • more than one child = children
  • more than one woman = women
  • more than one man = men
  • more than one person = people
  • more than one goose = geese
  • more than one mouse = mice
  • more than one barracks = barracks
  • more than one deer = deer


And, finally, there are nouns that maintain their Latin or Greek form in the plural. (See media and data and alumni, below.)
  • more than one nucleus = nuclei
  • more than one syllabus = syllabi
  • more than one focus = foci
  • more than one fungus = fungi
  • more than one cactus = cacti (cactuses is acceptable)
  • more than one thesis = theses
  • more than one crisis = crises*
  • more than one phenomenon = phenomena
  • more than one index = indices (indexes is acceptable)
  • more than one appendix = appendices (appendixes is acceptable)

. Lay and Lie, Raise and Rise, and Set and Sit


2. Lay and Lie, Raise and Rise, and Set and Sit
Verbs which take an object are usually called transitive verbs. Verbs which do not take an object are usually called intransitive verbs.


Many English verbs can be used either intransitively or transitively. For instance, in the sentence Most birds can fly, the verb to flyis intransitive, since it is used without an object. But in the sentence This pilot will fly the plane, the verb to fly is transitive, since it takes the object plane.


However, some English verbs can be used only intransitively. A few pairs of verbs should be noted. The two verbs of each pair have similar meanings, but one of the verbs can take an object, and the other cannot. In the following table, the verbs labeled intransitive are those which cannot take an object.

Either and Neither

Either and Neither
The English words either and neither can cause some problems for native and non-native speakers of English. Sometimes you can use either one and sometimes you have to choose either one or the other, but neither one is very difficult.
 

Either... Or
Either... or is used to offer a choice between two possibilities:
Either Mike or Lisa will be there.
Either you leave me alone or I will call the police.
We should bring either coffee or tea.
You can either help us or go to your room.
Either can also be followed by (one) of + group of two:
Either of us could do it
Either one of us could do it

Either of you should know
Either one of you should know

Not... either... or denies both possibilities:
I don't think either Mike or Lisa will be there.
He doesn't speak either English or French.
Not... either is used after a negative statement.
I don't speak French.
You don't either.

He isn't ready to go.
We aren't either.

  Neither... nor
Neither... nor is equivalent to not... either... or.
Neither Mike nor Lisa will be there.
He speaks neither English nor French.
We brought neither coffee nor tea.
I will neither help you nor go to my room.
Neither can also be followed by (one) of + group of two:
Neither of them is ready.
Neither one of them is ready.

Neither of us has any money.
Neither one of us has any money.

Neither is used like not... either.
I don't speak French.
Neither do I.
(informal): Me neither.

He isn't ready to go.
Neither are we.

  The Bottom Line
Either means one, neither means none, and not either equals neither. Or goes with either and nor goes with neither.
