1. Case - a form of noun, pronoun, or adjective

Grammatical case is the way a noun, pronoun, adjective, participle or numeral is modified to perform a certain function in a clause or sentence. Linguistic term for this form of modification, which reveals the function of the word, is inflection. The English language has a limited case system, which is why some people whose native language is English may find learning languages such as Slavic or Baltic languages, which all have a developed case system, difficult. Cases in English are used in pronouns. For example, I is the nominative case, me is the accusative case, and my is possessive (often referred to as genitive).

2. Mood - a form of the verb in the English language

Verb moods indicate the attitude of the speaker. In English, there are three moods: indicative, imperative, and subjunctive.

Indicative mood is used in most statements and questions. For example: She loves cats. What does he do in his free time?

We use imperative when making requests and demands. For example: Close the door. Please take a seat.

Subjunctive mood is used in hypothetical or contrary-to-fact statements. For example: If she studied, she would pass the exam. As demonstrated by the example, these statements consist of two clauses: the if-clause and a clause containing the consequence of the action described in the if-clause.

3. Number - singular or plural forms of words

Verbs in English, like nouns, have two numbers: singular and plural. When the verb is in the singular form, it describes an action performed by one person or thing. If it is in the plural form, it refers to actions performed by more than one person or thing. A verb must agree with its subject in number. In linguistics, this is called subject-verb agreement.

4. Person - changes in pronouns or verbs to show the speaker

Besides the number, the verb has to agree with its subject in the person, as well. To reveal who the speaker is, we must use an appropriate pronoun and verb form (person). In English, there are six different persons:

I - first-person singular:You - second-person singular; He/she/it - third-person singular;We - first-person plural;You - second-person plural;They - third-person plural.

5. Tense - a form of the verb which shows time

Verbs tenses give us information about when the action represented by the verb is taking place: in the past, present, or future. To describe the things that have already happened we use the past tense. The present tense describes things that are happening right now or continuous actions. We use the future tense while talking about things that have not happened yet, but will at some point. English has a very complex system of tenses, and it's considered that there are 12 major tenses that every English speaker should know.

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.

What type of writing is demonstrated in this excerpt by general philip henry sheridan? at once i set about preparing for the examination which precedes admission to the military academy, studying zealously under the direction of mr. william clark; my old teachers, mcnanly and thorn, having disappeared from somerset and sought new fields of usefulness. the intervening months passed rapidly away, and i fear that i did not make much progress, yet i thought i should be able to pass the preliminary examination. that which was to follow worried me more and gave me many sleepless nights; but these would have been less in number, i fully believe, had it not been for one specification of my, outfit which the circular that accompanied my appointment demanded. this requirement was a pair of "monroe shoes." now, out in ohio, what "monroe shoes" were was a mystery—not a shoemaker in my section having so much as an inkling of the construction of the perplexing things, until finally my eldest brother brought an idea of them from baltimore, when it was found that they were a familiar pattern under another name. a. research essay b. persuasive essay c. biography d. memoir
