A. Connector
Definition :
Sentence
connectors are used to link ideas from one sentence to the next and to give
paragraphs coherence. Sentence connectors perform different functions and are
placed at the beginning of a sentence. They are used to introduce, order,
contrast, sequence ideas, theory, data etc. The following table lists useful
connectors.
So,
we can conclude that connectors are words or expressions which we use to
establish different types or relationships between words and sentences. When we
use connectors approriately, we organise what we say in a more logical,
understandable way.
We
use these words to connect or combine ideas in a sentence by showing logical
relationship between them.
Coordinating
conjunctions
·
FOR
•AND NOR
•BUT
•OR
·
YET
· SO
Use these coordinating connectors when
you want to stress the equal importance of both clause ideas.
EXAMPLES:
· Shandra
went to the party, but she didn’t have a good time.
· Sarah
was upset by his remarks, so she filed a grievance.

Relative
pronouns
·
WHO
·
WHICH
·
THAT
·
WHOM
·
WHOSE
We use these relative pronoun words
right after a subject or some other noun in the sentence to add details,
details which
further describe or explain it.
EXAMPLES :
· My
brother developed an ulcer.
--add “who worries a lot”, to explain
this idea better
So it will be :
My brother, who worries a lot,
developed an ulcer.
· They
stole the stereo out of his car.
--add
“which was parked in the Church parking lot”
So it will be :
They
stole the stereo out of his car which was parked in the
church
parking lot.

IF, BEFORE, SINCE, SO THAT,

ALTHOUGH,

WHENEVER, AS,
UNLESS, AFTER,
IN ORDER THAT,

We use these subordinators to help add
details to the action (the verb) of one clause, by using the action of
another clause.
EXAMPLES :
· Although
they faced many problems in their marriage, they never stopped loving each
other.
· Her
husband gets jealous whenever she goes out with her girl friends.

FURTHERMORE,
THEREFORE,

AFTERWARD,
MEANWHILE
These connectors must be preceded by a
semi-colon (;) and followed by a comma (,) when they connect two independent
clauses.
EXAMPLES :
· Sam
loved his job; nevertheless, the long hours were exhausting him.
· Tim
got a new job; then he got married.

B.
Relative
Clause
Definition
:
A relative clauses are
a clause which describes the referent of a head noun or pronoun. It often restricts the reference of the
head noun or pronoun.
Relative clauses are clauses starting with the relative pronouns who,
that, which, whose, where, when. They are most often used to define or identify
the noun that precedes them.
We use relative clauses to give
extra information about something. We can get more information into a sentence
without the need to start a new one.
Examples
:
·
Do you know the girl who started in grade 7 last week?
·
Can I have the pencil that I gave you this morning?
·
A notebook is a computer which can be carried around.
·
I won't eat in a restaurant whose cooks smoke.
·
I want to live in a place where there is lots to do.
·
Yesterday was a day when everything went wrong!
·

Adverb
and Adjective
Definition of Adverb :
An adverb is a word that modifies a
verb, adjective, other adverb, determiner, noun phrase, clause, or sentence.
Adverbs typically express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, level of
certainty, etc., answering questions such as how?, in what way?, when?, where?,
and to what extent?. This function is called the adverbial function, and may be
realised by single words (adverbs) or by multi-word expressions (adverbial
phrases and adverbial clauses).
Example :
·
The
dog quickly ran to his owner.
The word "quickly" describes and modifies
the verb ran. It also answers the question "how". How did the
dog run? It ran "quickly".
Definition of Adjective :
An
adjective is a word that modifies a noun (or pronoun) to make it more specific.
The
simplest definition of an adjective is that it is a word that describes or
clarifies a noun. Adjectives describe nouns by giving some information about an
object’s size, shape, age, color, origin or material.
Examples :
·
Follow the yellow cab
(
in this example, the adjective yellow modifies
the noun cab.)
·
Martin caught a large bass
(in
this examples, the adjective large
modifies the noun bass.)
