Paradox paradox – an apparently contradictory statement that actually contains some truth. Examples: jumbo shrimp, civil war, bitter sweet, dull roar, larger half, clearly misunderstood, unbiased opinion, seriously funny (oxymorons) "I can resist anything but temptation.“ - Oscar Wilde "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others" - Animal Farm, George Orwell I must be cruel to be kind. – Hamlet, Shakespeare I am a compulsive liar. If someone says, “I am lying,” for example, and we assume that the statement is true, it must be false. The paradox is that the statement “I am lying” is false if it is true.

Ellipsis ellipsis … Use an ellipsis mark, three spaced periods, to indicate that you have deleted material from an otherwise word-for-word quotation. Reuben reports that “when the amount of cholesterol circulating in the blood rises over… 300 milligrams per 100, the chances of a heart attack increase dramatically.” ellipsis … the omission (leaving out) of a word or phrase which is grammatically necessary but can be deduced from the context. Example: For instance, an author might write, "The American soldiers killed eight civilians, and the French eight." The writer of the sentence has left out the word soldiers after French, and the word civilians after eight. However, both words are implied by the previous clause, so a reader has no trouble following the author's thought. Another example: Some people prefer cats; others, dogs.

Helping Verbs

Definition: helps the main verb express action or a state of being Definition: helps the main verb express action or a state of being. *labeled orange Examples: - can speak - will learn - - should have been fed

Together, the main verb and its helping verb or verbs are called a verb phrase. Examples: Many students can speak Spanish. I will learn about helping verbs today.

Some words can be used as both helping verbs and main verbs. I do enjoy the movies. Main Verb: I will do the dishes.

Sometimes a verb phrase is interrupted by another part of speech. Examples: Students should not forget their homework. Did you call your friends this weekend?

The word NOT and its contraction, -n’t, are adverbs telling to what extent; neither is part of a verb phrase. Example: - Students should not forget their homework.

In this sentence, the subject (you) is separating the verb phrase. Example: Did you call your friends this weekend? Strategy: Change to declarative sentence. You did call your friends this weekend.
