Write a part of speech for each word in the sentence.

1. He likes pizza

2. Eww! Worms are gross!​

Answers

Did this come with any other instructions

Answer:

1. He - pronoun

likes - verb

pizza - noun

2. Eww! - interjection

worms - noun

are - verb

gross - adjective

Explanation:

1. He is a pronoun. Pronouns are words used to substitute nouns. Examples are : 'Sarah' could be substituted for 'she'; and 'the dog' could be substituted for 'it'. In the above examples, 'Sarah' and 'the dog' are both nouns because 'Sarah' is a name of a person and 'the dog' is a name of a thing(according to the definition of a noun as the name of a person, animal, place or thing).

- 'Likes' is a verb because it describes a state of being. A verb is a word used to describe an action or a state of being.

- Pizza is a noun. Like explained earlier, a noun is a name of a person, animal place or thing. Food also falls into this definition.

2. Eww! - This is an interjection. An interjection is a word that usually carries strong emotions or conveys reactions. An interjection is the only part of speech that does not need to be included in a sentence. It can stand as a sentence on its own.

- 'worms' is a noun.

- 'are' is a verb. It is a type of verb called a linking verb. 'Is' and 'was' are also verbs. These verbs also describe actions or they link the other words to the action words in the sentence.

- 'gross' is an adjective. Adjectives are used to describe nouns and pronouns. 'Gross' has been used to describe how the reader sees the worms.

Give the possible interpretations of the following ambiguous sentence:
“I could not sleep because of the cricket”

Answers

Sort Answer: The word "cricket" might refer to an insect or to a sport.

Explanation

An ambiguous sentence is a series of words that can express two different ideas based on the context that is applied to it. According to the above, the sentence "I could not sleep because of the cricket" is an ambiguous sentence because it can have two interpretations depending on the context. One interpretation is that it refers to the fact the speaker could not sleep because of the sound of the animal "cricket" and another interpretation is that he could not sleep because he was watching a cricket game (sport).

What are the meanings of below given sentences

1.I have my car fixed
2.I had my car fixed..​

Answers

Answer:

1. I have my car fixed.

- This is not the correct way to write this. It would make sense if it was "I am going to have my car fixed." However, the word "have" is present tense. That means you are currently having your car being fixed.

2. I had my car fixed.

- This is the correct way to write this. The word "had" is past tense. That means you already fixed your car.

Explanation:

Remember that "have" is a helping verb, and "had" is the past participle. "Have" is a present form while "had" is the past form.

With officers in night, he would march to the canteen like a guardsman. (Annotate)

Answers

With officers in the (a) night, he (b) would march to the canteen (c) like a guardsman. (d)

(a) The article "the" is missing before the word night.

(b) "he" is the subject of this sentence. The subject is rather undefined, vague, and needs to be investigated for one to have a clearer understanding of what this snippet is all about.

(c) "the canteen": This is another mystery noun in the above sentence. It begs the question of location. It also raises the question of why the "he" would match off to a canteen in the night.

(d) "like a guardsman": This is a simile that electrocutes the imagination. In this sentence, the three words above, besides acting as a simile and imagery (both of which are literary tools), functions as an Adverbial Clause which serves to qualify the verb march.

The only instruction given in the question is to Annotate.

To annotate means to give more meaning to, to explain, to interpret, or to make more meaningful.

Please note that an adverbial clause is a dependent clause that while functioning as an adverb, qualifies another adverb, a verb, or even an adjective.

By way of further annotation, it suffices to say (with respect to the Grammatical Person) that the sentence above is reported in the third person singular.

In two or three paragraphs, analyze the structure of The Way to Rainy Mountain and show how the structure affects the impact of that book. How did the same structure affect your project's impact?

Answers

Answer:

    In Navarre Scott Momaday's The Way to Rainy Mountain, he attempts to reconnect with his American Indian (Kiowa) history by traveling to Rainy Mountain, Oklahoma, to visit his late grandmother's grave. Momaday is a professor of English at the University of Arizona and holds degrees from both the University of New Mexico and Stanford University.

    Despite the fact that Momaday is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, critic, and academician, this critic believes that his flow of writing has disappointed the reader and that he has possibly lost his ability to connect with his readers because he fails to describe his feelings in detail, especially in nostalgic writing.


What is the subject of the following sentence? “Jay skied all day."
A. skied
B. all
C. The subject is implied
D. Jay

Answers

Answer:

A) Jay is the answer definitely

The correct option is D. Jay is the subject of the following sentence.

A sentence's subject is the person, place, or thing that is doing the activity described in the sentence. The topic indicates what or who is being discussed in the statement. In addition to a noun or pronoun, the simple subject may also contain modifying words, phrases, or clauses.

How do you identify a subject and a verb in a sentence?

Typically, the topic is a noun, such as a person, place, or thing. Typically, the predicate is a sentence that contains a verb, or a term that designates an action or state of being. For instance, "ran" and "is" are both verbs. Placing the pronouns "he" or "she" before the word makes it simple to tell subjects from verbs.

The subject of a sentence or clause is also known as the naming portion. The subject typically comes before the predicate to indicate (a) the subject of the phrase or (b) the person or thing that conducts the action.

The noun or pronoun that is either carrying out the activity of the phrase or experiencing a state of being is the subject of the sentence.
