LESSON 2: SENTENCES
There are mainly three kinds of sentences in English: simple, complex and compound.
Simple sentence
A simple sentence consists of just one clause. Examples are given below.
 The dog barks.

 The kettle boils.
 Birds live in nests.
 The boys are singing.
In its simplest form, a simple sentence consists of a subject and a verb.
We can add more meaning to the sentence by including qualifiers, objects, complements
etc.
 Sitting on a branch, the monkey gibbered.

 The little girl was carrying a basket on her head.
Compound sentence
7|Page
A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses. Two independent
clauses need to be connected with a coordinating conjunction or separated with a full
stop or a semicolon. Examples are given below.
This compound sentence consists of two simple clauses connected by the coordinating
conjunction and.
 The boys sang and the girls danced.
This compound sentence consists of three independent clauses.
 Men may come and men may go, but I go on forever.
More examples of compound sentences are given below.
 You may watch TV or you can go out to play.

 You should either sit quietly or go out.
 The old man could neither see nor hear.
 He took the test several times but he couldn’t pass.
 He is famous, yet he is very humble.
 She was angry, still she kept her cool.
 The thieves not only robbed the man of his possessions, but also inflicted
injuries on him.
Coordinate conjunctions: and, but, or, either… or, neither … nor, yet, still, so.
Note: The words however, therefore and nevertheless are not conjunctions. They

cannot be used to connect two independent clauses.
 My car broke down on the way; therefore, I hired a taxi. (NOT My car broke
down on the way, therefore I hired a taxi.)
 He lost all his money; nevertheless, he is cheerful.
Complex Sentences
A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or
more dependent clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an
independent clause, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that
would make it a complete sentence.
Examples of dependent clauses include the following:
 because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon
8|Page
 while he waited at the train station
 after they left on the bus
Dependent clauses such as those above cannot stand alone as a sentence, but

they can be added to an independent clause to form a complex sentence.
Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions. Below are some

of the most common subordinating conjunctions:
 after
 although
 as
 because
 before
 even though
 if
 since
 though
 unless
 until
 when
 whenever
 whereas
 wherever
 while
The dependent clauses can go first in the sentence, followed by the

independent clause, as in the following:
 When the dependent clause comes first, a comma should be used to

separate the two clauses.
1. Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, I
did not see them at the station.
2. While he waited at the train station, Joe realized that the train was late.
3. After they left on the bus, Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was
waiting at the train station.
Conversely, the independent clauses can go first in the sentence, followed by

the dependent clause, as in the following:
 When the independent clause comes first, a comma should not be used to
separate the two clauses.
1. I did not see them at the station because Mary and Samantha arrived at
the bus station before noon.
2. Joe realized that the train was late while he waited at the train station.
9|Page
3. Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at the train station
after they left on the bus.
Complex sentences are often more effective than compound sentences

because a complex sentence indicates clearer and more specific relationships
between the main parts of the sentence. The word "before," for instance, tells
readers that one thing occurs before another. A word such as "although"
conveys a more complex relationship than a word such as "and" conveys.
Periodic sentence:
The term periodic sentence is used to refer to a complex sentence beginning with a
dependent clause and ending with an independent clause, as in "While he waited
at the train station, Joe realized that the train was late."
Periodic sentences can be especially effective because the completed thought

occurs at the end of it, so the first part of the sentence can build up to the meaning
that comes at the end.
ACTIVITY 1:
Determine if each sentence is simple, compound or complex. Write S, C or

CX
1. The children wore their dirty boots.

Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch. Alice
would have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off his dusty
overalls and threw them into a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the
porch railing for him every morning. On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag
off at the washing machine and went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was
instructed. He would eat dinner with her after he was “presentable,” as Alice had often
said.

Crack! Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to
contain his emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping
the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sobs. His mother comforted him, “There,
there, Max. We’ll just find something else to do.” She began to unpack the picnic basket
that was on the counter and offered him a sandwich. Max snapped, “I don’t wanna sand-
mich!” A flash from the sky lit up the living room. Boom! Mom sighed.

Today was a special day in Ms. Smith’s class. Some of the children were walking around
the room, some of them were standing in small groups, and some of them were at their
desks, putting finishing touches on cardboard mailboxes. After coloring a cool flame on
the side of his racecar mailbox, Johnny hopped off his chair, strutted over to Veronica’s
desk, and dropped a small white envelope into her princess castle mailbox. Veronica
blushed and played with her hair. While this was happening, Bartleby was frantically
trying to put a small white envelope into everyone’s mailbox. After giving one to Ms.
Smith, Bartleby pulled out a medium-sized red envelope from his pocket. He blushed and
tried to put it in Veronica’s mailbox, but it wouldn’t quite fit. Bartleby struggled with it for
a few seconds and then ran off with the envelope. Veronica rolled her eyes and popped her
gum.

Kyle ran into his house, slamming the door behind him. He threw his book bag on the floor
and plopped onto the couch. After six hours of playing Grand Larceny VII, he ate some
13 | P a g e
pizza and fell asleep with a slice on his stomach and his feet on his book bag. When Kyle
came home from school the next day, he was noticeably distraught. He balled up his report
card and placed it inside a soup can in the garbage. He then flipped the soup can upside
down in the garbage can and arranged loose pieces of trash over it. As he plopped down on
the couch, he let out a sigh and picked up his controller.

the back of her neck when she slowly realized that it was a Thursday, and she felt a little
too good for a Thursday. Struggling to open her eyes, she looked up at the clock. “9:48,”
she shouted, “Holy cow!” Cassie jumped out of bed, threw on the first outfit that she
grabbed, brushed her teeth in two swipes, threw her books into her backpack, and then ran
out the door.

Kelvin was waiting in front of the corner store at 3:56. His muscles were tense and he was

much more relaxed, even playful. They joked back and forth lightly to each other but for
Kelvin, time slowed. 3:57. “Don’t worry, Kelvin. He ain’t even gonna show up.” Kelvin
hoped that he wouldn’t. A black four-door Camry with tinted windows pulled up and
parked across the street. Kelvin gulped. 3:58. A group of teenagers piled out of the car.

Ryan was looking forward to sleeping over at his friend Robert's house. Though they had
been classmates for a while, the two had only recently become good friends. Ryan packed
up his sleeping bag, a pillow, and a few of his favorite toys and games, and then his mom
dropped him off at Robert's. Robert met Ryan on the porch and the two did their secret
handshake and started playing right away. First they played pirates in Robert's tree fort.
Next they played ninjas in the driveway. Then it started getting dark and they went inside
of Robert's house. As soon as they walked in the house, Ryan's eyes starting getting red and
itchy. He saw a big orange cat sitting on the couch. Then he started sneezing
uncontrollably. "I'm sorry, Robert. It's been a lot of fun, but I have to call my mom."

"William, don't forget your towel!" Mom shouted as she applied sunblock on the baby.
William threw the folding chairs in the back of the minivan and shouted through the garage
door, "OK Mom!" He then ran up and grabbed his towel. "Georgie!" William shouted.
16 | P a g e
There was no response. Mom packed the baby up into the car seat. "William, can you help
me with his umbrella?" William ran down the stairs, almost tripping over a chew toy, and
then he helped his mother load the large umbrella in the minivan. "Mom, I can't find
Georgie," William said. His mother shrugged and replied, "That's OK, William. He
probably shouldn't come with us anyway."

As the teacher brought the class back from the washroom, he noticed that Alvin and Elijah were
nowhere to be seen. He asked the class, "Has anyone seen Alvin or Elijah?" Most of the
students confirmed that they had not seen them, except for Rodney, who remained silent while
tapping his foot on the floor anxiously. The teacher noticed this. "Rodney, do you happen to
know where your best buddies Alvin and Elijah went?" Rodney looked away and said, "Nah, I
haven't seen them." The teacher notified the office of the missing students. An announcement
was made over the PA system and a few minutes later, Alvin and Elijah returned to class. Both
of them were
very sweaty and Elijah was carrying a basketball. "Sorry we took so long. We had to use the
bathroom," said Elijah. "Yeah," chimed in Alvin, "it took longer than we thought."

Tony walked out of the shopping mall with his arms full of bags and the sun shining on him. As
he approached his car, he started awkwardly feeling around his pockets with his arm full of
bags. He did not find what he was looking for so he transferred the bags on one arm to the other
arm, which already had bags. Tony had a lot of bags on one arm. He still couldn't find what he
was looking for. Now he dropped the bags and plunged both hands desperately into all of the
pockets on his jeans. With a look of despair, Tony ran to his car. He tried to open the door, but
it was locked. Then he saw something on the passenger seat of the car. He stopped looking and
pulled his phone out of his pocket.

LESSON 3: NOUNS AND DETERMINERS

18 | P a g e
THE NOUN
A noun is a word used to name, person, place or idea. Your own name is a noun; things that
you can or can’t teach are nouns: house, love, table, imagination, etc.
PROPER NOUN COMMON NOUNS

Barranquilla, America, Lake Michigan city, continent, lake
Emily Dickson, Gabriel García M. poet, writer, woman, men
Bronx Zoo, Pumarejo Bridge zoo, bridge
The Spirit of Seventy-six painting
10. The students like to bother a lot.
COUNT NOUNS AND NON-COUNT NOUNS

A count noun is one that can be counted: Book: one book, two books,… Student : one
student, two students, …Person: one person, two people, three people
A non count noun is one that can not be counted. It can never be plural. Milk: you can not
say: one mi/k, two milks, …
Don’t forget the plural of some irregular count nouns like:
person-people child - children foot - feet

mouse- mice tooth - teeth
The following list contains some confusing non-count nouns that you should know:
Sand food information air mathematics money
news soap economics meat politics housework
Some non count nouns, such as food, meat, money, and sand may be used as count nouns in
order to indicate different types. E.g.:
Wheat is one of the foods that my doctor has forbidden me to eat.

(indicates a particular type of food)
He studies meats. (for example, beef, pork, lamb, etc.)
The word time can be either countable or non-countable. When it means an occasion, it is
countable. When it means a number of hours, days, years, etc., it is non-countable. E.g.
We have spent too much time on this homework. (non-count)
She has been late for class six times this semester (count)
19 | P a g e
Activity 1:
HOW MANY NOUNS CAN YOU SPOT IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES:
1. Susan B. Anthony, a leader in the American movement for suffrage for women, was born
on a farm in Massachusetts in 1820.
2. My best friend is always helpful with problems.
3. The new student in the class is very talkative and friendly
4. The whales headed south for the winter.
5. At meetings both men and women spoke and held seats of honor.
6. Many teen-age girls in this country play soccer.
7. Driving cars at high speeds, Montoya races for the checkered flag.
8. Love and friendship day is celebrated in September.
9. I stayed at the airport for more than three hours.
Activity 2:
IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING NOUNS AS COUNT NOUNS OR NON-COUNT

NOUNS ACCORDING TO THEIR USUAL MEANING.
television ( ) atmosphere ( ) food ( ) cup ( )
car ( ) person ( ) tooth ( ) money ( )
news( ) water ( ) soup ( ) hydrogen ( )
geography ( ) pencil ( ) soap ( ) minute ( )
DETERMINERS
Some can be used only with count or non count nouns, while others can be
used with either.
With COUNT NOUNS With NON COUNTS

A/an , the, some The, some
This, that, these, those This, that
None, one, two, three, … None
Many Much (usually in negative sentences or questions)
20 | P a g e
A lot of A lot of
A large / great number of A large amount
A few A little
Fewer... than Less… than
More... than More... than
Activity 1:
LOOK AT THE ITALICIZED NOUNS IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES. TELL

WHETHER THEY ARE COUNT NOUNS OR NON COUNT NOUNS.
1. I bought some chairs, tables, and desks. In other words, I bought some furniture.
2. Ann likes to wear jewelry. Today she is wearing four rings, six bracelets, and a
necklace.
3. We saw beautiful mountains, fields, and lakes on our trip.
4. Would you like some food? How about a sandwich and an apple?
5. We had meat, rice, bread, butter, cheese, fruit, vegetables, and tea for dinner.
Activity 2:
CHOOSE THE CORRECT DETERMINERS IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES
1. He doesn’t have (many / much) money.

2. I would like (a few / a little) money
3. She bought (that / those) cards last night.
4. There are (less / fewer) students in this room than in the next room.
5. I do not want (these / this) water.
6. A (few / little) people left early.
7. Would you like (less / fewer) coffee than this?
8. This jacket costs (too much / too many).
A / AN:
A or an can precede only singular count nouns; they mean one. They can be used in
a general statement or to introduce a subject which has not been previously mentioned.
E.g.
A baseball is round (general - means all baseballs)
I saw a boy in the street (we don’t know which boy)
An is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. A is used before words that
begin with a consonant sound.
a book an apple
21 | P a g e
Some words can be confusing because the spelling does not indicate the
pronunciation.
a house an hour a university
an uncle an umbrella an heir
The initial sound of the word that immediately follows the indefinite article will
determine whether it should be a or an.
an umbrella a white umbrella

an hour a whole hour
THE
The is used to indicate something that we already know about or something that is
common knowledge. E.g.
The boy in the corner is my friend. (the speaker and the listener know the boy)
The earth is round. (there is only one earth).
With non-count nouns, one uses the article the if speaking in specific terms, but
uses no article if speaking in general. E.g.
Sugar is sweet. (general- all sugar)
The sugar on the table is from Cuba. (specific)
Normally, plural count nouns, when they mean everything within a certain class, are
not preceded by the. E.g.
Oranges are green until they ripen.

Athletes should follow a well balanced diet.
Normally a proper noun is not preceded by an article unless there are several people
or things with the same name and the speaker is specifying one of them. E.g.
There are three Susan Parkers in the telephone directory.

The Susan Parker that I know lives on First Avenue.
Generally, words such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, school, church,, home, and
college do not use any article unless to restrict the meaning. E.g.
We ate breakfast at eight o’clock this morning

We went to school yesterday.

THE ADJECTIVE
THE ADJECTIVE
An adjective is a word used to modify a noun or a pronoun. It usually precedes a noun or
sometimes is separated from the words it modifies by other words. E.g.
I like your blue shirt. Your shirt is blue.
Adjectives answer the questions; What kind? Which one or ones? How many or How
much?
What kind? Pretty girl, tall men

Which one or ones? First person, This house, Those dogs
How many or how much? Full house, Ten rupees, No time
There are eight types of adjectives:
1. Proper adjective: derived from a proper noun. For example, “The English language”,
“The Indian Ocean”, “The Victorian attitude.
Descriptive, qualitative or attributive adjective: one that shows the kind and quality of a
person or thing. For example, “A brave person.”, “A beautiful child.”, “A careful mother.”
27 | P a g e
Some attributive adjectives are derived from nouns, e.g. a law college, a flower garden,
pay-day.
Quantitative adjective: one that shows how much (quantity) of a thing is meant. For
example, I did not eat any apple, he ate much bread, you drink little milk.
A quantitative adjective is always followed by a singular material or abstract noun.
Numeral adjective: one that shows the number or serial order of persons or things. They are
further divided into two main classes. Definite numerals show some exact number. They
are of three kinds: Cardinals (One, two, three, four), Ordinals (First, second, third, fourth),
Multiplicatives (Single, double, triple, quadruple). Indefinite numerals do not show an
exact number e.g. all, some, enough, none, many, few, several etc.
Demonstrative adjective: one that points out which person or thing is meant, e.g. this boy,
that person, those men.
Distributive adjective: one that refers to each one of a number. They are four in number;
each, every, either, neither.
Interrogative adjective: used to ask a question. For example, “Whose pen is this?”, “What
book is that?”, “Which flower do you like best?”
Possessive adjective: The words my, our, your, his, her, its, their, when used before a noun.
Order of adjectives
1. Quantity or number

neighbors were coming out of their houses and getting in their cars. Mr. Thomas sighed. His

said Mr. Rosencrantz. Mr. Thomas replied, "Yep." Mr. Rosencrantz chuckled and said, "Here,
Mr. Thomas, you can use my cell phone. I could even keep a key over here if you wanted."
Tom thankfully grabbed the cell phone and called his wife. "Honey, I did it again." Mr.
Rosencrantz heard Mrs. Thomas yelling at Mr. Thomas in a distorted high-pitched squeal.

Mr. Ericson was a manager at a small insurance company in Minnesota. One cold winter day,
April McKenzie, one of his employees, approached him about some time off from work. "This
job is very important to me, Mr. Ericson, but I've been called into jury duty. When my
government asks for my help, I have to answer the call." Mr. Ericson rubbed his forehead. "We
really need you here, April, but the government needs you more. Take the time. We'll be
alright." Mr. Ericson had thought that they needed her there at the office, but they managed fine
without her. When April returned a week later, Mr. Ericson noticed that most of her skin was
bright shade of red except for around her eyes. Pale white circles ran from the top of her
eyebrows to the bottom of her cheeks. These pale circles were surrounded by sunburned flesh.
That's when Mr. Ericson knew. "April, step into my office. There are some things we need to
discuss," Mr. Ericson said ominously.

Gloria was driving around the neighborhood in her pajamas. Every block or so she'd stop
the car, hold her head out of the door, whistle, and call out "Candy! Candy! Come here
girl!" Then she'd start the car again and slowly drive another block or two, looking around
from left to right. Curtis sat in the passenger seat. He was looking around too, but he held
his head low. "How many times have I told you to make sure that you shut and lock the
door after you come in?" Gloria reprimanded Curtis. Curtis sighed. He felt bad enough
without her finger-wagging.

kick off of the last step and shouted "Kiya!" He slipped on the floor and almost fell as he
landed, which didn't stop him from continuing to practice his ninja strikes on his way to the
bathroom. He brushed his teeth with his Tatakai Ninjas toothbrush and rinsed his mouth out
with water from a Tatakai Ninjas cup. "Moooooom, Daaaaad! It's time to open my
present!" After his parents came downstairs and poured themselves coffee, Justin began to
open his present. His fingers were tense with excitement. Then they were still. It was six

Jenna was shocked when she opened the door to her apartment. There were long rips in the couch,
as though someone had run knives down the front of it. A lamp was shattered on the floor. Some
picture frames were hanging crookedly, some of them had fallen off the wall and the door to her
cat's travel cage was open. Not only that, but the door to the birdcage was swinging back and forth
and there were feathers on the floor. She could have sworn that she had locked her cat in the travel
cage before she left for work. At first Jenna thought it might have been burglars. Oh no, she
thought. Someone broke into my apartment, trashed the place, and stole my cat! Then she heard the
cat meowing in her bedroom. She ran to the bedroom and saw the cat patting one of Jenna's favorite
shoes with its claws. "That's it!" Jenna yelled. "I'm done with this." She threw the cat back into its
travel cage and tried to shut the door, but the lock wouldn't catch. Jenna huffed and then grabbed
some duct tape.

"I'm home!" Earl shouted as he walked in the door. His wife Gail came bounding down the stairs.
She hadn't seen him since he had left to go on his silly fishing trip two weeks ago. "I missed you,
Husband. Did you catch anything?" Gail reluctantly asked, knowing that Earl was not a very good
fisherman. Earl scratched his head and responded, "You're not going to believe what I'm bringing
home." Earl unzipped a cooler and pulled out several perfectly filleted salmon steaks. "Wow, Earl, I
didn't know that you could fillet a fish like that." Earl looked around the room a little bit and
scratched his head, "Uh, yeah, Jeff taught me how." Gail looked at him suspiciously. "Well, let me
help you unpack." As Gail was helping Earl unpack his truck, she found a receipt from the grocery
store. It was dated from that morning. What she saw was both disappointing and unsurprising.

"Gus, I need to see you in my office," said Mr. Matthews. Gus nervously shut the door to Mr.
Matthews' office behind him and took a seat. Mr. Matthews' office was so high up that Gus had to
angle his chair awkwardly so that he couldn't see out of the window. Mr. Matthews pointed his
finger at Gus and began talking, "You have been fitting in great over here, and that's one of the
most important things you can do in this company." Gus let out a sigh of relief. Mr. Matthews
continued speaking. "Gus, I want to invite you on a company trip. We will be taking a private jet to
Colorado." Gus's eyes widened and his heart began thumping rapidly. "Wow, Mr. Matthews! I
don't know what to say," Gus replied honestly. Mr. Matthews continued, "Then we will be
climbing up a mountain to a private cabin." Gus loosened his tie a bit a gulped. He was hoping that
it would be over but Mr. Matthews continued, "After completing some team building activities, we
will take a hot air balloon ride over the mountains!" Gus's heart was now pounding so hard that he
was worried that Mr. Matthews might see it thumping through his shirt. He was sweating
excessively. Mr. Matthews slapped him on the shoulder, "So what do you say Gus?" Gus did not
know what to say.

Mike got out of the driver seat of the classic car. He looked at the mailbox and then at the bumper.
The mailbox was smashed and bent. The shiny chrome bumper had a dent about the size of a
football around the passenger side. Mike shook his head and got back in the driver seat. He knew
what he had to do. He didn't want to do it, but he had to. He drove back home and sat in the
driveway for a few minutes, holding his head in his hands. Mike's dad came out of the house
carrying a black garbage bag. He smiled and waved at Mike as he passed the driver side of the car.
Then he looked again as he walked past the passenger side of the vehicle. His mouth dropped
open and he let go of the garbage bag.

Miya came out of the bathroom with tears in her eyes. She ran down to the cafeteria and
asked the staff if they had any rice. Fortunately for Miya, Ms. Lucille did. Ms. Lucille filled
a red plastic cup about half way with white rice grains and handed it to Miya. Miya pulled a
damp phone from out of her back pocket and pushed it into the dry rice grains inside of the
plastic cup. She sincerely thanked Ms. Lucille and then went back to class. She felt
relieved, but she was still a little worried.

Otto stuffed another candy bar in his mouth. He lay sprawled on the floor with his back against his
bed. Candy wrappers surrounded him. His shirt was caught in the folds of his belly and he had
melted chocolate all over his face and hands. "Ugh…" he groaned weakly as he struggled to finish
chewing. Suddenly, the front door opened. "Otto, I'm home!" It was his mom. Otto rolled almost
gracefully from his sprawled position and began kicking the candy wrappers under his bed. As she
walked slowly up the stairs to his room, he managed to get all of the wrappers under the bed and
then he threw a blanket over them. She opened the door, took one look at his face, and knew.
4. Why does Otto act guiltily when his mom comes home? ________________________

Shawn sat in his seat as the morning bell rang and released a big yawn. He rubbed his eyes and
could feel how baggy they were. He stretched as the teacher went to the front of the class and
began talking, "Good morning, students! I'll take attendance while you start working on that test
that I promised you." The class let out a collective groan, but Shawn's eyes widened. He began
rummaging through his backpack and pulled out a crumpled notebook with part of the cover torn
off it. He frantically rifled through the pages, many of which were filled with just a few words or
doodles. The teacher looked directly at Shawn as he said, "OK, class, put your notes away and clear
off your desks. It's test time." Shawn began looking around the room frantically. He saw Cassie
sitting next to him. Shawn whispered, "Psst... Cassie." She turned to him with a scowl. His eyes
pleaded with hers. "Not gonna happen, Shawn," Cassie said loudly. This startled Shawn and he
jumped in his seat. The teacher looked at Shawn again, "No more talking class."

Michael was the star quarterback of the football team and he was dating Amanda Barnes, the
captain of the cheerleading squad. Everything was going perfectly for them until Michael was
seriously injured during one of the last games of the season. The doctors told him that he would
probably never play football again and that he would have to wear a large cast on his leg for
several months. Amanda stayed really close with Michael immediately after the injury, but then
she started to change. She would not visit him often. She would not wait by his locker or help him
carry his books to class anymore. Also, he noticed that she was talking more and more with Ken
Madsen, the new quarterback. This upset Michael greatly. Then one day Amanda told him that she
and Michael needed to have a talk after school. Michael did not like the sound of that.
9. What does Amanda want to talk about with Michael?
