22.01.2022 Save a puppy today...

22.01.2022 How many Nouns can you find in the following paragraph: Francis Macomber had, half an hour before, been carried to his tent from the edge of the camp in triumph on the arms and shoulders of the cook, the personal boys, the skinner and the porters. The gun-bearers had taken no part in the demonstration. When the native boys put him down at the door of his tent, he had shaken all their hands, received their congratulations, and then gone into the tent and sat on the bed until his wife came in. She did not speak to him when she came in and he left the tent at once to wash his face and hands in the portable wash basin outside and go over to the dining tent to sit in a comfortable canvas chair in the breeze and the shade. (Paragraph is taken from Ernest Hemingways short story "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber.")

21.01.2022 Active Voice Versus Passive Voice Below are a few examples to help understand the difference between active and passive voice. Many people believe they should avoid the passive voice, but fewer people can define it or recognize it. What Is Active Voice?... In an active sentence, the subject is doing the action. An example is the sentence "John loves Amy." John is the subject, and he is doing the action: he loves Amy, the object of the sentence. Another example is the title of the Marvin Gaye song I Heard It Through The Grapevine. "I" is the subject, the one who is doing the action. "I" is hearing "it," the object of the sentence. What Is Passive Voice? In passive voice, the target of the action gets promoted to the subject position. Instead of saying, "John loves Amy," it would be, "Amy is loved by John." The subject of the sentence becomes Amy, but she isnt doing anything. Rather, she is just the recipient of Johns love. The focus of the sentence has changed from John to Amy. To make the title of the Marvin Gaye song passive, it would be It was heard by me through the grapevine, not such a catchy title anymore.

10.01.2022 About Nouns Nouns can be in the subjective, possessive, and objective case. The word case defines the role of the noun in the sentence. Is it a subject, an object, or does it show possession? The English professor [subject] is tall.... He chose the English professor [object]. The English professors [possessive] car is green. Nouns in the subject and object role are identical in form; nouns that show the possessive, however, take a different form. Usually an apostrophe is added followed by the letter s (except for plurals, which take the plural "-s" ending first, and then add the apostrophe).

09.01.2022 "Affect" Versus "Effect" The majority of the time you use affect as a verb and effect as a noun. When Should You Use Affect?... Affect with an a means "to influence," as in, "The arrow affected the Aardvark," or "The rain affected Marys hairdo." Affect can also mean, roughly, "to act in a way that you dont feel," as in, "She affected an air of superiority." When Should You Use Effect? Effect with an e has a lot of subtle meanings as a noun, but the meaning "a result" is at the core of all the definitions. For example, you can say, "The effect was eye-popping," or "The rain had no effect on Marys hairdo."
