ReplyDelete------------------------------------------------
A noun is a word that names a person, place, or thing. Nouns come in these varieties: common nouns, proper nouns, compound nouns, and collective nouns.
------------------------------------------------
Adjectives are words that describe nouns and pronouns. Adjectives answer the questions: What kind? How much? Which one? How many? For example:
What kind? red nose gold ring
How much? more sugar little effort
Which one? second chance those chocolates
How many? several chances six books
------------------------------------------------
Verbs name an action or describe a state of being.
------------------------------------------------
Prepositions link a noun or a pronoun following it to another word in the sentence
------------------------------------------------
A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun or another pronoun. Pronouns help you avoid unnecessary repetition in your writing and speech. A pronoun gets its meaning from the noun it stands for. The noun is called the antecedent.
Although Seattle is damp, it is my favorite city.
There are different kinds of pronouns. Most of them have antecedents, but a few do not.
Personal pronouns refer to a specific person, place, object, or thing
------------------------------------------------
Determiners are words like the, an, some. They are grammatically similar. They all come at the beginning of noun phrases, and usually we cannot use more than one determiner in the same noun phrase
------------------------------------------------
Adverbs are words that describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverbs answer the questions: When? Where? How? or To what extent?
Most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective.
Here are some of the most common non-ly adverbs:
afterward almost already also
back even far fast
hard here how late
long low more near
never next now often
quick rather slow soon
still then today tomorrow
too when where yesterday
------------------------------------------------
Auxiliary verbs
Auxiliary verbs are used with main verbs to construct the verb phrase. They fall into two groups:
Primary auxiliaries
Modal auxiliaries
Primary auxiliaries
The primary auxiliaries are: be, have, and do. They are used in clauses such as:
I am eating bread.
They have eaten bread.
You do eat bread.
Primary auxiliaries can also work as main verbs. For example:
I am happy to see these names included.
I have a new life now and new friends.
We do things that are controversial.
Modal auxiliaries
These are used in clauses such as:
I shall eat bread.
I might eat bread.
I could eat bread.
Modal auxiliaries cannot work as main verbs and normally appear with a main verb. The full list is:
will
shall
would
should
may
might
can
could
must
ought (to)

1. Lexical categories, explain its function and give examples of each category.
Lexical category is a linguistic category of words or lexical items generally defined by their morphological behaviours.
a. Sentence (S)
In every language, every sentence is made up of a sequence of words BUT not every sequence of words is a sentence. In order to be recognized as a sentence, words must conform to the syntactic rules of the language and have complete thought/ idea. An example of a sentence is Sonia cried when James laughed at her.
There are four types of sentence which are simple sentence (1 independent clause), compound sentence (2 independent clauses), complex sentence (1 independent clause + 2 or more dependent clauses) and complex-compound sentence (2 or more independent clause + 1 or more dependent clause).
b. Noun (N)
Nouns are words used to refer to people, objects, creatures, places, qualities, phenomena and abstract ideas as if they were all “things”. Examples of noun are Aminah, she (people), drum, kompang (objects), dog, canine (creatures), Ampang, bank (places), expensive, Dior (qualities), Aurora Borealis, monsoon (phenomenon), and freedom, Atheism (abstract ideas).
c. Adjective (Adj)
Adjectives are words used, typically with nouns, to provide more information about nouns. Examples are “happy people, large object, brilliant idea”.
d. Verb (V)
A verb is a word that shows action or that indicating a condition or a state of being. An example of a verb is “Sonia is playing by the swing”.
e. Preposition (P)
A preposition is a word that is used to show a relationship between a noun or a pronoun and some other word in sentence. It is often used to show direction (e.g.: there, downstairs), location (Sabah, playground), or time (noon, 9.00 p.m.).
f. Pronoun (Pro)
A pronoun is a word used to replace a person, place, thing, or idea. It can act as a subject (nominative cases acting as subjects: I, you, he, she) or object (objective cases acting as object: me, you, him, her), and some can show possession (possessive cases showing possession: mine, my, hers, yours).
g. Determiner (Det)
A determiner is a structure class (or form class) word that precedes and modifies a noun. There are six subgroups of determiners: articles (e.g.: a/an[indefinite article], the[definite article]), demonstratives (e.g.: this, those), possessives (e.g.: my, your, his), indefinites (e.g.: some, any, enough, less), cardinal numbers (e.g.: one, two, three,…), and ordinal numbers (e.g.: first, second,…, last).
h. Adverb (Adv)
An adverb can be used to modify verbs (e.g.: He writes well), adjectives (Bill’s car is mechanically sound), other adverbs (e.g.: Andre drove incredibly fast), and even whole sentence (e.g.: Obviously, he assumed that you are my sister). It indicates manner (e.g.: She moved slowly and spoke quietly), time (e.g.: She tries to get back before dark), place (e.g.: She still lives there now), cause/purpose (e.g.: He drove his boat slowly to avoid hitting the rocks) or degree (e.g.: She often goes to the cemetery with her husband).
i. Auxiliary Verb (Aux)
An auxiliary verb is a verb that is used to give further semantic or syntactic information about the main verb following it. Auxiliary verbs are the verbs be, do, have, will when they are followed by another verb in order to form a question (e.g.: I am fine. Is she sick?), a negative sentence (e.g.: He does not play football. He does not mean to be rude, did he?) , a compound sentence (e.g.: Rani is clever but she do not like studying), or a passive sentence (e.g.: The design was done by Sonia).

1. Lexical Categories and the function.
ReplyDelete*Sentence(S) is a group of words that are put together to mean something. A sentence is the basic unit of language which expresses a complete thought. It does this by following the grammatical rules of syntax.
Eg: The boy is holding the book.
*Noun (n) is a word used to refer to people, animals, objects, substances, states, events and feelings. Nouns can be a subject or an object of a verb, can be modified by an adjective and can take an article or determiner.
Eg: animal, place and so on
For example:
• Table
• Pencil
• The dog
• A white house
*Adjective (adj) is a name for a word that modifies (describes) a noun. Nouns are words that name a place, a person, a thing, or an idea. An adjective is a word that gives more information about the noun that goes with it (accompanies).
Eg: I like blue skies and fluffy clouds.
He is a nice man.
*Verb (v) a class of words used to show the performance of an action.
Eg: run, eat, write, and fight.
*Preposition (P) a class of words that indicate relationships between nouns, pronouns and other words in a sentence. Most often they come before a noun.
Eg: about, across, along, over and against.
*Pronoun (Pro) usually refers to something already mentioned in a sentence or piece of text. A pronoun is a word that substitutes a noun or noun phrase used to prevent repetition of the noun to which they refer.
Eg: they, she, he, and them.
*Determiner (Det) is used in front of nouns to indicate whether you are referring to something specific or something of a particular type.
Eg: this, the, that, these and those.
*Adverb (Adv) is a part of speech. It is any word that modifies any part of speech or other verbs other than a noun (modifiers of nouns are primarily adjectives and determiners). Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives (including numbers), clauses, sentences and other adverbs.
Eg: slowly, delightfully, extremely, and carefully.
*Auxiliary verb (Aux) is used together with a main verb to give grammatical information and therefore add extra meaning to a sentence, which is not given by the main verb.

1. Lexical Categories explain its function and give examples of each category.
a. Sentence is an expression in natural language, and often defined to indicate a grammatical unit consisting of one or more words that generally bear minimal syntactic relation to the words that precede or follow it. A sentence can include words grouped meaningfully to express a statement, question, exclamation, request, command or suggestion.
b. Noun is a member of a large, open lexical category whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition (or put more simply, a noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing or abstract idea)
c. Adjective is a word whose main syntactic role is to qualify a noun or noun phrase, giving more information about the object signified.
d. Verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence. A verb or compound verb asserts something about the subject of the sentence and express actions, events, or states of being. The verb or compound verb is the critical element of the predicate of a sentence.
e. Preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the preposition.
f. Pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive. Grammarians classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.
g. Determiner is a noun-modifier that expresses the reference of a noun or noun-phrase in the context, rather than attributes expressed by adjectives. This function is usually performed by articles, demonstratives, possessive determiners, or quantifiers.
h. Adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a clause. An adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause, or degree and answers questions such as "how," "when," "where," "how much".
i. Auxiliary verbs are "be," "do," and "have", and you may also use these verbs on their own. You use "Will" and "shall" to express future time.
