PARTS OF SPEECH
Nouns
A noun names things. There are four types of nouns: proper nouns, abstract nouns, collective nouns and
common nouns.

Adjectives
An adjective give us more information about the noun. There are seven types of adjectives.

1. Descriptive adjectives describe nouns. For example: a red car, or big men.
2. Demonstrative adjectives show us what noun we are talking about. For example: Not this book, I mean that book.
3. Possessive adjectives tell us who owns an object. For example: my pen, and your pen.
4. Interrogative adjectives ask questions about objects. For example: Whose friend is that? Numerical adjectives
indicate how many things there are. For example: Twenty people. Ordinal adjectives show the order of things.
For example: First answer, final answer.
5. Indefi nite adjectives show that the number is not known or certain. For example: many, some.

COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE FORMS OF ADJECTIVES
Comparative
When two things are compared the comparative form is used. To form the comparative form add –er (e.g. older). If the adjective has two or more syllables, use more before the adjective. For example: She is more honest than Jacob.

Superlative
When comparing three or more things, use the superlative degree of the adjective. For example: Of the three boys, Sipho is the tallest. If the adjective has two or more syllables, use most before the adjective. For example: She is the most honest girl in the class.

THE ARTICLE
There are two types of article: the indefi nite article (a or an) and the defi nite article (the).

PRONOUNS
A pronoun replaces the noun. Here are some different types of pronouns.
Personal pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they)
Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs)
Relative pronouns (who, whom, whose, which, that)
Relative pronouns are used in relative clauses. Relative pronouns replace the noun that was used in the main
clause. For example: The rain will force the offi cials to cancel the match which we were planning to watch
today. (‘which’ refers to the match)
Reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, herself, himself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves)

Nouns

PAPER 1, THE LANGUAGE PAPER SECTION C
In this question, you will be given one or more short texts that have some deliberate errors in them. You will need to identify the errors and correct them. While doing this, you will also need to answer some questions on language. This question aims to test all the English language that you have learned in school.

PARTS ON SPEECH
Every word in the language has a particular name, and more importantly, a particular role or function. We are able to group the words together into the following categories:

- Verbs and adverbs
- Nouns and adjectives
- Pronouns
- Articles
- Prepositions
- Conjuctions

Word order
English has special rules about the order in wich words are put if we want to make sense. The parts of speech tell us in what words can go where.

For Example
Look at this example. The cat fell.

The word order is:
Article, noun, verb.

It would be incorrect to say:
Cat the fell

We do sometimes move the order of the words around deliberately. We do this mostly to form questions
or for emphasis.

Nouns

A noun names things.
There are four types of nouns.
1. Proper nouns are used for the names of people, places and things. They always start with a capital letter. For example: Thato
2. Abstract nouns name our emotions and feelings. For example: joy
3. Collective nouns name groups of things. For example: A fl ock of sheep
4. Common nouns name objects and things. For example: exams

Tip
You need to be able to use this information to correct errors.

Correct the following:
a. I visited polokwane last week.
b. The herd of cows wait outside the barn.

Answers

a. Polokwane
b. waits. (The problem here is that the verb – wait – should match a plural noun. But, a collective noun is always in the singular. It is a herd. Singular. The fact that the group of nouns is made up of many cows does not change the collective noun into a plural noun.)

Countable and uncountable nouns

Common nouns are objects and things. This means that you can have one or more of them. You can count some nouns like matches, stars or people.

Some nouns cannot be counted. For example: news, advice, information, equipment, furniture, sugar, fl our, maize and the weather. These nouns cannot be made into plurals.

We use phrases like ‘many pieces of’ and ‘a lot of’ and words like ‘some’ to indicate the amount or quantity of uncountable nouns.

Tip
Read this short text.
The fl ock of cows in Mr Moloi’s fi eld are hungry. They wanted to eat. More
specifi cally, they wanted a corn to eat.

Answer these questions.
1. Identify the error in the collective noun and correct it.
2. Identify the error in sentence 3 and correct it.

Answers
1. The collective noun is wrong. It should be a herd of cows.
2. An uncountable noun, corn, has been used with a word that indicates number.
Correct answer: some corn

Adjectives

Adjectives give us more information about nouns.

There are seven types of adjective.
1. Descriptive adjectives: They describe nouns. For example, a red car, or big men. Red and big are descriptive adjectives.
2. Demonstrative adjectives: To demonstrate means to show, and these adjectives show us what noun we are talking about. For example: Not this book, I mean that book.
3. Possessive adjectives: These adjectives tell us who owns an object. These adjectives sound very much like pronouns and can cause confusion. For example: my pen, and your pen.

TIP
Read this text, and answer the questions.
After my neighbours said they lost their dog, I remembered that a black dog came into my yard earlier. I realised it was their’s dog.

1. Identify the descriptive adjective in the sentence fi rst sentence.
2. Rewrite the fi rst sentence after the comma, correcting the placement of the adjective.
3. Correct the possessive adjective in the second sentence.

Answers
1. black.
2. I remembered that a black dog came into my yard earlier.
3. Their

COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE FORMS OF ADJECTIVES
Comparative
Probably one of the most common errors with adjectives is making a mistake in the right form of adjective when comparing two or more things. When two things are compared the comparative form is used.

The ball is big
This ball is bigger than that ball.
To form the comparative form and –er.
If the adjective has two or more syllables, use more before the adjective. For example: She is more honest
than Jacob.

Superlative
When comparing three or more things, use the superlative degree of the adjective. This is formed by adding -est. For example: Of the three boys, Sipho is the tallest.
If the adjective has two or more syllables, use most before the adjective. For example: She is the most honest girl in the class.

Read this text and answer the questions.
The biggest of the boys fell into the water. The smaller one grabbed the most long stick he could find to help him.
1. Identify the three adjectives in the two sentences.
2. Correct any errors.

Answers
1. biggest, smaller, long.
2. The bigger of the boys fell into the water. The smaller one grabbed the longest stick he could fi nd to help him..

4. Interrogative adjectives ask questions about objects. We use three interrogative adjectives: which, what and whose. For example:
Whose friend is that? Which learner left late?

5. Numerical adjectives indicate how many things there are. For example:
Twenty people survived. Or Each rescuer received a medal.

6. Ordinal adjectives show the order of things. We often call them ordinal numbers. For example: First answer, second answer, fi nal answer. Remember, if you start numbering a list of things, first, second, third and so on, you must keep numbering every item of the list. Otherwise your reader will find it diffi cult to follow you.

7. Indefi nite adjectives are used to show that the number is not known or certain. For example: many, some and few.

Articles and Pronouns

THE ARTICLE
The article is a word that introduces a noun.
There are two types of article: the indefi nite article and the defi nite article.
The indefi nite article is a or an (used before a noun or adjective starting with a vowel)
The defi nite article is the.

Remember
1. To use an before a noun starting with a vowel. For example: an egg; an elephant.

If there is an adjective qualifying the noun, put the article before the adjective. If the adjective starts with a consonant, then you will use a even if the noun starts with a vowel. But, if the adjective starts with a vowel, use an.

For Example
A big elephant
An enormous elephant
An enormous lion

Remember
Always use the indefi nite article to introduce an unknown noun. If we repeat the nou n, we can
then use the defi nite article.

For Example
A small girl came into the room. The girl was wearing a blue dress.

Some girl, we have no idea who, comes into the room. So we use a. When we talk more about her, we move to the. We know who we are talking about.

Pronouns
Pronouns replace nouns so that when we write or speak, we can make our writing or speaking more interesting.

For Example
A small girl came into the room. The girl was wearing a blue dress.

Becomes:
A small girl came into the room. She was wearing a blue dress.

Subject and object
The subject does the action.
The object has the action done to it or them.

For Example
The boy read the book.

To fi nd the subject of a sentence, ask: Who or what did the verb?

To fi nd the object of a sentence take the fi rst part of the sentence, the subject and the verb, and ask who or what after it.

You may not always have an object. But, you will always have a subject, or you don’t have a sentence.

Personal Pronouns



Identify the errors.
1. You and me must go to the movies this weekend.
2. That is Mr Jones. She is late for work.

Answer
1. You and I must go to the movies this weekend.
2. That is Mr Jones. He is late for work.

Pronouns
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

For Example
The possessive pronouns are categorised according to person.



For Example
I own a book. The book is mine.
You own a book. The book is yours.
She owns a book. The book is hers.
He owns a book. The book is his.

The possessive pronoun is used to replace a noun that is owned or possessed by someone.
Look carefully at these sentences. Identify and correct any mistakes.

Tip
Because the possessive pronoun does similar work to the apostrophe showing possession, learners often make the mistake of adding an apostrophe to the possessive pronoun.

Read the sentences and correct the mistakes.

For Example
1. Mary and Jack were so pleased that the winning ticket was theirs’.
2. The goat chewed through it’s tether rope.

Answer
1. Mary and Jack were so pleased that the winning ticket was theirs.
2. The goat chewed through its tether rope.

Relative pronouns
Relative pronouns are used in relative clauses. The relative pronouns are: who, which, that.
Relative pronouns replace the noun that was used in the main clause

For Example
The boy, who had eaten all his breakfast, was able to concentrate well at school.

There were two sentences to start with:
The boy ate all is breakfast.
The boy was able to concentrate at school.
When these two sentences were combined, the boy was replaced with who in the sentence ‘The boy ate all his
breakfast’.
Use ‘who’ with people.
Use ‘that’ and ‘which’ with objects.
‘Which’ is more common in formal situations, like in written work, and ‘that’ is more common in informal speech.

For Example
Look carefully at these sentences. Identify and correct any mistakes.

1. The girl, that had left early, was very sad.
2. The car, which had been speeding, had an accident.
3. The door, who had been left open, swung shut with a loud bang!

Answers
1. The girl, who had left early, was very sad.
2. No mistakes
3. The door, that had been left open, swung shut with a loud bang!

REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS


Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of a sentence or clause are the same.
Add the preposition by to the refl exive pronoun to mean alone or without help.

For Example
She studied by herself.

Tip
Common errors
The most common error is to use the refl exive pronoun after a preposition when it is clear who we are talking about.

I’ll take some food with myself.
Here is a message from ourselves, the class of 2010.

For Example
It is clear who is being spoken about, so the sentences must read:
I’ll take some food with me.
Here is a message from us, the class of 2010.

(Notice that in both cases we have used the object personal pronoun.)
The refl exive pronoun is not usually used after ‘relax, feel or concentrate’.
Correct these sentences.
I must relax myself.
She can’t concentrate herself.
They feel themselves fi ne.

Answers
I must relax.
She can’t concentrate.
They feel fine.
