 WHAT IS
ADVERB?
 An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an
adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly. Adverbs often end in
-ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective
counterparts.

 Place adverbs as close as possible to the words they are supposed to modify.

 CONJUNCTI
ON

Conjunctions are used to join clauses, phrases, and words together for

constructing sentences. Conjunctions make a link between/among
words or groups of words to other parts of the sentence and show a
relationship between/among them.
Coordinating Conjunctions -
allow you to join words, phrases, and clauses
of equal grammatical rank in a sentence. The
most common coordinating conjunctions
are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so; you can
remember them by using the mnemonic
device FANBOYS.

I’d like pizza or a salad for lunch.

We needed a place to concentrate, so we packed up our things and went to the

library.

Jesse didn’t have much money, but she got by.

Correlative Conjunctions - are pairs of conjunctions that work
together. Some examples are either/or, neither/nor, and not only/but also.

Not only am I finished studying for English, but I’m also

finished writing my history essay.

I am finished with both my English essay and my history

essay.
Subordinating conjunctions -
join independent and dependent clauses.

A subordinating conjunction can signal a cause-

and-effect relationship, a contrast, or some other
kind of relationship between the clauses.
Common subordinating conjunctions
are because, since, as, although, though,
while, and whereas.
Turn your papers in as you leave to go to recess.

I guess I’ll never be the same since I fell for you

You have to clean your room right now because I said so.

Although she is a great swimmer, Katie still does not swim alone.

 INTERJECTION
Interjections are words used to express strong feeling or
sudden emotion. They are included in a sentence (usually at
the start) to express a sentiment such as surprise, disgust,
joy, excitement, or enthusiasm. 

Wow! Ouch!
Aha! Ooops!
Hoorah! Umm
Yeah! Aww!
Oh! Ew!
