ACT Prep Grammar #4

Prepositions A preposition connects a noun or pronoun to other words to form a phrase. Examples: About from After for At into Before on Below under Betweeen up

Prepositional Phrase A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or noun substitute that functions as the object of the preposition. Examples: Place the carton behind the tall cabinet. Mr. Fong believes that learning a spreadsheet program is beyond him.

Conjunctions A conjunction is a word or phrase that joins two or more words, phrases, or clauses. Examples: And But Either/or When

Coordinate Conjunctions A coordinate conjunction joins words, phrases, and clauses that are the same part of speech. Examples: The teacher and the principal spoke outside the room. Leo is studying computer science, for he plans to be a systems analyst.

Correlative Conjunctions A correlative conjunction also connects words, phrases, and clauses of equal rank. Examples: Both Clinton and Barbara applied for the teaching position. Not only Clinton but Barbara applied for the teaching position.

Subordinate Conjunctions A subordinate conjunction joins elements of unequal rank. Examples: Although we couldn’t attend, we sent a donation. As if we could solve the problems, the men asked us for help.

Parallel Construction For messages to be clear, sentences should use parallel construction. Incorrect The exercise program was rigorous and a challenge. Correct The exercise program was rigorous and challenging.

Interjections An interjection is a word or expression that has no grammatical relationship with other words in a sentence. Examples: Hey, get your coffee cup off my monitor! Help! Do you hear that comment daily from your customers? Your idea is sure to work. Super!
