We are beginning the 3rd quarter focusing on grammar.We will introduce other topics as the quarter progresses

Grammar is the study of the way words are used to make sentences. Our class will focus on the eight parts of speech.

NOUN: A noun is a person,place,thing,or idea.We will be learning and dissecting ten different types of nouns.

The 10 noun types we will be interacting with include the following list:
1.Common nouns
2.Proper nouns
3.Material nouns
4.Compound nouns
5.Pronouns
6.Abstract nouns
7. Concrete nouns
8.Collective nouns
9.Uncountable nouns
10.Countable nouns 

Common nouns is non-specific people,place,thing,or even idea in any case.

Material Nouns 

Material Nouns Are nouns that are things that are made out of something.

Compound Nouns are nouns made out of two words.

Pronouns are words that actually replace nouns 
Example:I,Me,She,We,They,Who,That,Yours,His,Her,and Etc.

Collective nouns are nouns that mean a specific group.

1.Read the passage then answer the question 

Construction on Florence's grand cathedral began in 1296.Over a hundred years later,however,the structure remained unfinished,with an enormous hole in the roof.The designers had intended to top the cathedral with the world's largest dome,but this plan was stymied by architectural limitations.The main factor stalling progress was the fact that no one knew how to create such a massive cupola​ without large, cumbersome support systems.


What is the meaning of cupola as used in the passage?

1. Dome
2. Roof
3.Decoration
​4.Cathedral

Homographs are very easily confused with homophones that we studied last week.  homographs are words that have different sounds, different meanings, but are spelled the same.  For example, BASS could be a fish or BASS could be the sound from music or a deep voice.  It depends on how the word is used in a sentence.  

Another example is BOW could mean like you are going to tie a bow on a present, or it could mean that after a performance you take a BOW.

All these shoes are Air Jordan and They are from the man himself Michael Jordan.He's one of the Greatest basketball Players of all time and he wore alot of his own shoes.Like The Flu Game 12's there just like the ones on the top right but there Red and Black and there nice shoes because he wore them when he had the flu and he played in the game even with flu.

Inference means to use the clues in the text to discover what is NOT directly stated.  The example we use in class is Ana collected shells, then she went for a swim in the cool, salty water.  We can use inference to implicitly know that Ana is at the beach.  The short passage never says that she is at the beach, but we read between the lines and use context clues to figure it out.
