A. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.

1. What is a noun?
Nouns make up the largest class of words in most languages, including English. A noun is a
word that refers to a thing (book), a person (Betty Crocker), an animal (cat), a place
(Omaha), a quality (softness), an idea (justice), or an action (yodeling). It's usually a single
word, but not always: cake, shoes, school bus, and time and a half are all nouns.

2. What is a pronoun?
A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun or noun phrase. Pronouns refer to either
a noun that has already been mentioned or to a noun that does not need to be named
specifically.

The most common pronouns are the personal pronouns, which refer to the person or
people speaking or writing (first person), the person or people being spoken to (second
person), or other people or things (third person). Like nouns, personal pronouns can
function as either the subject of a verb or the object of a verb or preposition: "She likes him,
but he loves her." Most of the personal pronouns have different subject and object forms.

3. What is a sentence?
A word, clause, or phrase or a group of clauses or phrases forming a syntactic unit which
expresses an assertion, a question, a command, a wish, an exclamation, or the performance
of an action, that in writing usually begins with a capital letter and concludes with
appropriate end punctuation, and that in speaking is distinguished by characteristic
patterns of stress, pitch, and pauses.

4. What is a subject?
The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being
something. You can find the subject of a sentence if you can find the verb. Ask the question,
"Who or what 'verbs' or 'verbed'?" and the answer to that question is the subject.
5. What is a predicate?
The part of a sentence or clause that expresses what is said of the subject and that usually
consists of a verb with or without objects, complements, or adverbial modifiers.

6. What is an adjective?
A word belonging to one of the major form classes in any of numerous languages and
typically serving as a modifier of a noun to denote a quality of the thing named, to indicate
its quantity or extent, or to specify a thing as distinct from something else.
The word red in "the red car" is an adjective.

7. What is an adverb?
A word belonging to one of the major form classes in any of numerous languages, typically
serving as a modifier of a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a preposition, a phrase, a
clause, or a sentence, expressing some relation of manner or quality, place, time, degree,
number, cause, opposition, affirmation, or denial, and in English also serving to connect and
to express comment on clause content.
In "arrived early" the word "early" is an adverb.

8. What is an article?
An article is a word that is used with a noun to specify grammatical definiteness of the noun,
and in some languages extending to volume or numerical scope.

The articles in English grammar are the and a/an, and in certain contexts some. "An" and
"a" are modern forms of the Old English "an".

9. What is a preposition?
A function word that typically combines with a noun phrase to form a phrase which usually
expresses a modification or predication.
10. What is a verb?
A word that characteristically is the grammatical center of a predicate and expresses an act,
occurrence, or mode of being, that in various languages is inflected for agreement with the
subject, for tense, for voice, for mood, or for aspect, and that typically has rather full
descriptive meaning and characterizing quality but is sometimes nearly devoid of these
especially when used as an auxiliary or linking verb.

B. WRITE A SHORT ESSAY ABOUT A BOOK YOU READ, OR A MOVIE YOU WATCHED.

Aza Holmes is 16 years old, has everything to be loved and have a good future, but she
grew up with a psychic pathology. Who is she, where is she, when will the dizzying spiral
of her obsessive thoughts takes hold of her? Aza tells her own story, I loved her best
friend Daisy, and I also loved Davis, son of a mysteriously disappeared billionaire.
An improbable trio who will lead the investigation, and find other mysteries and other
truths along the way…

I really liked this book. It’s called Turtles All The Way Down, written by John Green.
In this penetrating tale, Aza Holmes struggles to solve the mystery of the vanished
billionaire father of her friend Davis, while also trying to manage her obsessive-compulsive
disorder.
John Green delves deeper into the dark reaches of the teenage brain than ever before,
creating a remarkable if occasionally hard-to-read story about a girl living with anxiety and
OCD.
This book shines light on the deep, dark thoughts of a teenage girl who struggles with her
own mind while also trying to help her friends and family. And although John Green
always writes more light hearted books such as The Fault In Our Stars, Paper Towns and
An Abundance Of Katherines, I think this genre really suits him.
