THE FIRST TRAIL OF ESSENTIALS:

LOADING THE GRAMMAR


Whenever you learn any subject, you begin by loading the grammar: inputting the vocabulary and facts related to that subject. In English grammar, there are a lot of terms to define, lists to memorize, and charts that show the relationships between the ideas. This is like looking at the individual pieces of a puzzle, then putting the pieces of the puzzle together. In order to help you to load the grammar of the English language, all the terms, lists, and charts have been put in a format that many Essentials students have used successfully. The first chart (called Sentence Classification, Chart A) is like the box of the puzzle: the whole picture of grammar. All the other charts are like individual pieces of that puzzle. Each chart that needs to be memorized is in this section of the guide. The completed chart is called a Master chart. Each master is followed by a Student chart which is blank. Put all the charts into page protectors, then use a dry erase marker to fill in the student chart. At first, you will look closely at the master chart in order to fill in the student chart, but if you concentrate and pay attention while filling in the charts, you will soon be able to fill in the student chart without looking at the master. You should spend about 20 minutes a day studying the charts this way. Keep practicing over time, and you will be able to write out all the master charts onto blank paper from memory. When you can do that, you will be a grammar master, and you will be well prepared to tackle any language. The charts are listed by the week that they are introduced by your Essentials tutor. Once a chart is introduced, practice it every day for at least a week, then, once a week, review all the charts either by reciting them aloud or filling in all the student charts that have been assigned thus far. Every day spend about 20 minutes on Grammar Mastery charts, then spend about 20 minutes on the second trail of Essentials: Dialectic Discussions.

VERBS

Introduced Week 2

A verb is a word that asserts an action, shows a state of being, links two words together, or helps another verb. (V) Ask, What is being said about the subject?

4 VERB TYPES
Intransitive An intransitive verb does not transfer the action from the subject to an object. Test: If there is no direct object, the verb is intransitive. A transitive verb transfers the action from the subject to an object. Test: The verb is followed by a noun which does not re-name the subject. A linking verb makes an assertion by joining two words. Test: The verb can be replaced with = without changing the meaning. feel, become, remain, taste, seem, appear, look, sound, stay, smell, grow, am, are, is, was, were, be, being, been A helping verb helps another verb assert action, being, or existence. Test: There will be another verb in the sentence. do, does, did, has, have, had, am, are, is, was, were, be, being, been, may, must, might, should, could, would, shall, will, can Jesus wept.

Transitive Linking

Jesus loves me. Jesus is God.

Helping

Jesus was weeping.

4 VERB ATTRIBUTES
Person Number Voice 1st (I or we) Singular or Plural Active (subject performs the action) Passive (subject receives the action) Indicative Mood Imperative Subjunctive Makes a statement or asks a question States a command Implies condition contrary to fact or expresses a wish I love. I am loved. Beds get messy while you sleep. Did you make your bed? Make up* your bed. If only your bed were made. I wish my bed were made. 2nd (you) 3rd (he, she, it, or they)

*In this sentence,make up is a compound verb. Consider up part of the verb rather than a preposition since there is no object of the preposition.

12 VERB TENSES: TIME (3) FORM (4)

NOUN USAGES
...the roles or jobs a noun can have in a sentence.
Parent Note: On the EEL Practice Sentence Sheets, possessive pronouns are labeled as adjectives as this is the job they play in the sentence. Quid et Quo drills out the details. Teaching Tip: The first letters of the first five jobs of a noun spell SPIDO. Pronounce it speedo to make it memorable.

COORDINATING conjunctions connect grammatically equal words or groups of words such as


compound subjects, compound verbs, or compound sentences. Remember: FANBOYS. for and nor but or yet so

SUBORDINATING conjunctions introduce adverbial subordinate clauses and relate them to the word
they modify. They are used in complex sentences. Remember: www.asia.wub. when while where . as since if although . whereas unless because

More subordinating conjunctions: after how as if in order that as long as lest as soon as so that as though than before that but that

though until whenever wherever why

Examples: We play when we are young. When we are young, we play. Since we are young, we play. We play because we are young. We play before we eat. Note: some of these words can also be used as prepositions.

CORRELATIVE
either/or Examples:

conjunctions always come in pairs and connect words of equal importance. both/and whether/or whether Tom or Sue not only Tom but also Sue not Tom but Sue not only/but also not/but

neither/nor

either Tom or Sue neither Tom nor Sue both Tom and Sue

RELATIVE PRONOUNS introduce adjectival


subordinate clauses and relate them to the word they modify. They are used in complex sentences. that who whose whom which

CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS

PREPOSITIONS

Introduced Week 8

A preposition relates a noun or pronoun to another word. (Pr)


Prepositions are always followed by a noun which is called the object of the preposition. The preposition, its object, and the modifiers between them create a prepositional phrase.

about above across after against along amid among around at atop before behind below beneath beside between beyond but by

concerning down during except for from in inside into like near of off on onto out outside over

past regarding since through throughout to toward under underneath until up upon with within without

Parent Tip: While studying this list, take a moment and teach your student about alphabetical order. Note: sometimes two or more words can act as a preposition: according to due to in addition to up to ahead of because of by way of in back of in case of in front of in spite of instead of out of with the exception of except for along with away from Note that some of these words can act as adverbs when they are not followed by a noun. For example: outside used as a preposition: I went outside the house. outside used as an adverb: I went outside.

INTERJECTIONS
An interjection is a word or phrase used as a strong expression of feeling or emotion. (I)

THE SECOND TRAIL OF ESSENTIALS:

DIALECTIC DISCUSSIONS

During dialectic discussions, students use the six analytical tasks as a guide to analyzing sentences. The sentences are listed by week. The Analytical Task Sheet is used as a tool to help students focus on the six tasks. Typically a student should copy the Grammar Mastery charts first as that information will be used on the practice sentences. They are found at the front of this section because they will be used every week. First-Tour Students: The first two sentences for each week are the easiest. First-tour students should concentrate on those sentences, going through the assigned tasks with a parent. Most students enjoy working on one sentence a day on the whiteboard with a parent, discussing the options as they go. Students can look over Sentences 35 and classify them by structure, purpose, and pattern and stop there. The student and/or parent can create additional sentences that follow the same pattern for extra practice. When introduced, students can begin to use Quid et Quo for more prompts for describing and classifying the words of a sentence. Second-Tour Students: Second-tour students should be able to complete all the tasks on the first three sentences and classify Sentences 4 and 5. They should make up some sentences similar to the first sentence for extra practice. They may be able to complete all the tasks on all the sentences discussing the options with a parent as they work together on the whiteboard. Students can use Quid et Quo for more prompts on describing and classifying the words of a sentence. Third-Tour Students: Third-tour students should be able to complete all the tasks on all five sentences with assistance from a parent, working together on the whiteboard. They should also be looking for similar sentence patterns in the literature they read or in the Bible or in poetry. Parents can find and share additional sentences for practice on Classical Conversations Connected, the online forum and file-sharing site for CC families. Students can use Quid et Quo for more prompts for describing and classifying words of a sentence.
