Download or read book Meet the Parts of Speech The Complete Series written by Coert Voorhees and published by Grammaropolis. This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a book for every part of speech, the complete Meet the Parts of Speech series includes story-based adventures combined with traditional instruction and usage examples for nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections. In Grammaropolis, adverbs don't just modify verbs; adverbs are bossy. They tell the verbs where to go, when to leave, and how to get there. A pronoun doesn't just replace a noun; Roger the pronoun is a shady character who's always trying to trick Nelson the noun into giving up his spot. The Meet the Parts of Speech series uses the mechanics of character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter. Our story-based approach combines traditional instruction with original narrative content, which appeals to different learning styles, increases both engagement and retention, and encourages students to make a deeper connection with the parts of speech and punctuation marks. The complete series includes: Nelson the Noun Nelson takes a break from his stressful day job, leaving the Noun Office in the hands of Roger the pronoun. After discovering that vacation isn't what he'd hoped it would be, Nelson returns just in time to fix the confusion Roger has caused in his absence. Vinny the Action Verb & Lucy the Linking Verb Vinny and Lucy approach life differently. He's all action, while she's content to sit back and be. With their friend Jake the adjective in trouble, however, the two verbs must put aside their differences and work together to save the day. Jake the Adjective When Jake's nemesis pulls a prank and turns Grammaropolis into a grey, misshapen, tasteless town, Jake is forced to run around restoring everything--the colors, shapes, sizes, tastes, and more--to the way it was all meant to be. Benny the Adverb When his prized rock collection is stolen from the bank, Benny opens an investigation into how and when the theft took place and where the thief might have gone. Roger the Pronoun Feeling that he's destined for more than just renaming nouns, Roger opens up his own store next to Nelson's Nouns. But when Nelson goes missing, Roger realizes that for life to mean anything at all, every pronoun has to have an antecedent. Connie the Conjunction Nobody in all of Grammaropolis has more style than Connie; she simply knows how to put things together. After a bump on the head makes her give bad advice, she uses all the conjunctions at her disposal to set everything right again. Lil' Pete the Preposition When launching his model rocket in the park, Lil' Pete gets excited and forgets to add objects to his prepositional phrases. Without objects, the prepositions become adverbs, and chaos ensues as the rockets fly up, by, and around with no direction at all. Izzy the Interjection No matter whether the emotion is strong or mild, positive, negative, or somewhere in between, Izzy lives to express it. Loneliness can be a problem sometimes because she's not grammatically connected to the other words in the sentence, but when the time comes, she leaps at the chance to express her strongest emotion yet.

After a bump on the head makes her give bad advice, she uses all the conjunctions at her disposal to set everything right again. Connie the Conjunction is part of the nine-book Meet the Parts of Speech series starring the eight parts of speech, who are personified based on the roles they play in the sentence. From the shady pronoun always trying to take the noun's place to the motherly conjunction who just wants everyone to get along, the Meet the Parts of Speech series uses the mechanics of character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter.

Download or read book Conjunctions written by Anthony Anamgba and published by Anthony Anamgba. This book was released on 2017-03-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conjunction is a word or group of words used to connect other words or groups of words. Conjunction can be used to join words like pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and prepositions. Conjunction is a word whose primary function is to connect words, phrases, clauses or sentences. It is in this lucid manner that this book will teach you conjunctions. Conjunction is of different types. They are coordinating conjunction, correlative conjunction, subordinating conjunction and conjunctive adverbs. It clearly explains the coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunction joins sentence elements which are of equal rank. There are three major coordinating conjunctions. They are and, but, or. It analyzes the correlative conjunction. Correlative conjunction joins sentence elements of equal rank but comes in pairs. They include both…and, just as… as, not only…but also, either …or, neither…nor, whether…or, and sooner. It appraises the subordinating conjunction. Subordinating conjunction is used to join sentence elements of unequal rank. Subordinating conjunction connects a dependent clause to an independent clause. It evaluates the conjunctive adverb. Conjunctive adverb joins not only sentence elements of unequal rank but also serves as a transition marker. It discusses the correct ways to use conjunctions. Use them to express an additional idea or notion, to indicate an alternative, to make a concession, to present a contrast, to indicate a continuing action, to indicate a requirement to be met, to show an unalterable condition, and to connect another view in a subsequent clause. It points out the common mistakes in the use of conjunctions. It throws light on the correct use of conjunctions. And it contains many crucial questions designed to enable you master how to use conjunctions correctly.
