Verbs

  • Active and passive voice In the active voice the subject does the action: Priya checked the thermometer. In the passive voice the subject receives it: the thermometer was checked by Priya.
  • Shifts in verb voice and mood When two parts of a sentence do the same job, keep them in the same voice and mood. Do not start a set of steps as commands and finish them as a statement.
  • Subject-verb agreement The verb has to match the subject: one dog barks, two dogs bark.
  • Verb moods Mood is the job a sentence does. Indicative tells, imperative orders, interrogative asks, conditional says what would happen, and subjunctive imagines or insists.
  • Verb tense consistency A sentence picks a time and sticks to it. If the first verb is past, its teammates ride past too: she set the table and poured the water, not pours.
  • Verbals A verbal is a verb doing another job. A gerund acts like a noun, a participle acts like an adjective, and an infinitive carries to in front of it.

Pronouns

  • Pronoun-antecedent agreement A pronoun has to match the noun it stands for: Maya packed her bag, and the twins packed their bags. In school writing, a team acting as one takes its, and each of the girls takes her.
  • Subject and object pronouns Subject pronouns do the action: I, he, she, we, they. Object pronouns receive it: me, him, her, us, them. Drop the other person and your ear solves it: 'The coach chose me.'

Conjunctions

  • Conjunctive adverbs A conjunctive adverb joins two sentences into one and names the link: however for a contrast, therefore for a result, furthermore for one more point. Put a semicolon before it and a comma after it.
  • Correlative conjunctions Correlative conjunctions work in fixed pairs: either/or, neither/nor, both/and, not only/but also, whether/or. Spot the first half, and the second half is already decided.
  • Subordinating conjunctions Subordinating conjunctions join a helper idea to a main idea and name the link: because (why), although (surprise), until (time), if (condition).

Mixed parts of speech

  • Commonly confused words Some words sound alike but mean different things: their, there, and they're are three different words.
  • Formal or informal? English wears different clothes for different rooms. Formal: Good afternoon; I would appreciate your help. Informal: Hey! Wanna play? Both are correct, in their place.
