Part Two Grammar Exercises
1. concrete nouns & abstract nouns
Concrete nouns are words we use for people, places, or things that we can observe with at least one of our five senses. The abstract class is the opposite — we can never experience these nouns according to our senses.
While this distinction is sometimes useful, the boundary between concrete and abstract is not always clear. Some nouns can be used as uncountable nouns when they refer to a thing in general and countable nouns when they refer to a particular instance of it, consider, for example, the noun art, which usually refers to a concept:
e. g. Art is an important element of human culture.
But it can refer to a specific artwork in certain contexts:
e.g. I put my daughter’s art up on the fridge.
This is the problem of context within sentences.
I. Complete the following sentences with the appropriate forms of the nouns given.
1. agony.
2. agonies.
3. experience.
4. experiences.
5. youth.
6. a youth.
7. My children are __a great help__ to me. (great, help)
8. The boy had __a good knowledge__ of mathematics. (good, knowledge)
9. a gray hair
10. He is looking for __work__. (work)
II. 1 A; 2 B; 3 D; 4 C; 5 A; 6 B; 7 B; 8 C.
III. a lot of; a little; some; a
few; A; some; some; a lot of; X.
many; X; a lot of.
2. quantifiers & determiners (every, each, everyone, every one, all)
Each and every have similar but not always identical meanings.
each = every one separately
every = each, all
Sometimes, each and every have the same meaning:
e. g. Prices go up each year.
Prices go up every year.
But often they are not exactly the same.
Each expresses the idea of “one by one”. It emphasizes individuality.
e. g. Each artist sees things differently.
Every is half-way between each and all. It sees things or people as singular, but in a group or in general.
e. g. Every soldier saluted as the President arrived.
Each can be used in front of the verb:
e. g. The soldiers each received a medal.
Each can be followed by “of”:
e. g. The President spoke to each of the soldiers.
Every cannot be used for two things while each can:
e. g. He was carrying a suitcase in each hand.
Every is used to say how often something happens:
e. g. There is a plane to Bangkok every day.
Everyone means “everybody” a nd is used when you want to refer to all the people in a group:
e. g. Everyone in my family likes spaghetti.
But if you’re referring to the individuals who make up a group, then the phrase is every one. “Each and every one” you should never substitute everyone, for everyone as singular or plural:
e.g. We wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas.
All is more often used with plural verb forms, though sometimes it is used with singular verbs. However, if we wish to specify the things or people under discussion, we can use all or all of with nouns and pronouns and the correspondingly correct singular or plural verb forms.
e. g. Has all (of) the cake been eaten?
Have all (of) the presents been distributed?
All of us are going to Sam’s party next week. We’re all going.
IV. Complete the following with every, each, everyone, every one or all.
1. all; Every one; Every.
A: He had eaten _______ the biscuits.
B: What? _____________?
A: __________ single one.
2. The pavement on ________ side was crowded with neat smiling people. each;
3. Every;
4. each;
5. Everyone. The girl is very popular. ____________ likes her.
6. Each;
7. everyone; everyone; 8. Each.
3. dangling participles
Dangling participles is a participle that is not grammatically
linked to the word it is intended to modify. In “Driving down the street, the house came into view,” “driving” is a dangling participle. Though they are not rare in speech, dangling participles are avoided in formal writing because of the possibility of misunderstanding.
e. g. The burglar was about 30 years old, white, 5′10″, with wavy hair weighing about 150 pounds.
If properly installed, you shouldn’t be able to open the door without first pressing the safety button.
V. Correct errors in the following sentences.
1. When planting these flowers, care must be taken not to damage
the roots.
you must take care
2. Though received late at night, he started to work on the document immediately.
Though he received the document … work on it….
3. Falling … we thought…. ------ When he fell
4. Reading the letter a second time, the meaning becomes clearer.

5. what he meant became clear to me ------- I became clear about what he meant

7. The teacher walked behind the kids eating their lunches.

VI Writing Practice
Paragraph development — the topic sentence
A topic sentence is a statement of the controlling idea that the rest of the paragraph clarifies, exemplifies, or supports. It is usually the most general statement of the paragraph but meanwhile specific
enough so that it can be fully developed in a single paragraph. A good topic sentence promises what is to come.
A good topic sentence has three characteristics: it includes a
topic and a controlling idea; it is limited; and it lends itself to development.
Exercise 1. Write a topic sentence to sum up the following details.
Set A
1. Denver, Colorado, is named for James Denver, a soldier and administrator of the Western frontier.
2. Mississippi’s capital Jackson is named after the seventh President of the United States.
3. Cleveland, Ohio’s largest city, gets its name from Moses Cleveland, a man who invested a lot of money in the area.
Topic sentence: Many American cities are named after important people who are or were locally or nationally famous.
Set B
Topic sentence: Happiness means different things to different people.
Exercise 2. For each of the following two paragraphs, the topic sentence has been taken out. Read them carefully and work out for each
paragraph a topic sentence that you think can hold all the following details together.
A. The problem isn’t that there’s no interest in teaching. I constantly meet young people who’ve graduated from colleges and have signed up for teaching in some of the country’s toughest urban public schools. They are strongly interested in helping those so-called
difficult kids. They find the work extraordinarily rewarding; the kids they teach benefit from their creativity and enthusiasm. But by the end of two years, most have either changed careers or moved to suburban schools — a consequence of low pay, a lack of support from the educational bureaucracy, and an overwhelming feeling of isolation, but never because of the lack of interest in teaching.
B. It means paying teachers what they’re worth. There’s no reason why an experienced, highly qualified, and effective teacher sho uldn’t earn $100,000 annually at the peak of his or her career. Highly skilled teachers in such critical fields as math and science — as well as those willing to teach in the toughest urban schools — should be paid even more.

Part two Grammar Exercises
1. Negation and inversion
Inversion involves putting an auxiliary verb before the subject of
a clause. In formal English, it is quite common to use inversion after negative adverbial expressions and restrictive words such as only, never, hardly, little and seldom.
e. g. At no time did he get permission for what he was doing.
Not until the next morning did she realize how serious it was.
Only later did they learn his terrible secret.
Hardly had we walked in the door when the phone started ringing.
In some negative sentences, “not” is to negate the predicates in form, but actually it is used to negate other elements of those negative sentences. Therefore, while translating, we should transfer the negation in some cases.
e. g. Every man cannot be a scientist.
A high executive does not have a large vocabulary merely because of the opportunities of his position.
A negative may be transferred from a certain part of the sentence to another in translation.
e. g. We don’t believe that our mother tongue is inferior to any other language in the world.
I don’t think Father will fancy living an idle life like that.
I.
Change each sentence into a negative with the given word.
1. I hope it will rain. (not)
