We are happy to be back in school today! During distance learning, we started preparing for the grammar portion of our exam. Although we will no longer be taking an English exam in February, we will still be completing a grammar/editing assessment. This assessment will be completed on Thursday, February 11th, 2021. It has been suggested that students should be reviewing rules and creating notecards each night in order to prepare for this assessment.
This assessment will focus on the following concepts:
- Sentence/fragments
- Nouns (common vs. proper)
- Pronouns
- Antecedents
- Adjectives (comparative vs. superlative)
- Adverbs
- Verbs
- Conjunctions
- Interjections
- Prepositions
- Quotations
- Commas
- Semicolons
- Colons
- Paragraph editing
Our notes on these various subjects can be found in this presentation:
