\n<\/strong>Definition<\/strong>
\n\t\tExamples
\n<\/strong>Phrasal Verbs<\/strong>: Verbs often combine with adverbial particles to form multi-word verbs or phrasal verbs.Its meanings cannot be determined from the meaning of the verb and the particles in isolation, rather, it has to be comprehended from the entire phrase
\nExamples
\nturn down<\/strong>: refuse :I turned down the offer
\ngive in<\/strong>: surrender: Our team refused to give in<\/strong> to their opponents.

\n\t\t\t<\/strong>
\n\u00a0EVALUATION

\u00a0ASSIGNMENT:<\/strong> Look up the meaning of each of the following phrasal verbs:
\nhook up<\/strong>, give up<\/strong>,
\nround off, round up,
\n<\/strong>turn out, break into,

\n<\/strong>
\n\u00a0C. Adverbs, Conjunction and Preposition
\n<\/strong>ADVERB<\/strong>
\n\t\tAn adverb is a word which modifies verbs, adjectives and other adverbs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FORMATION OF ADVERBS
\n<\/strong>Many adverbs are formed from adjectives<\/strong>. e.g certain- certainly fortunate- fortunately, careful-carefully, quick- quickly, indoor-indoors, outdoor-outdoors
\nSome Adverbs showing direction end in \u2013wards<\/strong>– E.g downwards, forwards, backwards,
\nSome adverbs expressing manner or viewpoint end in \u2013wise<\/strong>– E.g clockwise, foodwise, moneywise.
\nMany other adverbs have no special ending<\/strong>– always, early , fast, if, how, quite, often, very, when, hard, late, so, very. <\/p>\n

\u00a0TYPES OF ADVERBS
\n<\/strong>ADJUNCTS:<\/strong> These normally tell us how, when, where, to what extent, etc, the action of the verb is performed.
\nExamles:
\n<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>a. He came at 6 O’clock (when)
\nb. She ran fast. (how?)
\nDISJUNCTS: <\/strong>These normally express an attitude or a viewpoint, often of the speaker. E.g, Luckily She arrived
\nFrankly, we were in the wrong. Ola is certainly the best. Foolishly, he fell. Other examples are honestly, seriously, strangely, undoubtedly, happily, fortunately<\/p>\n

\u00a0CONJUNCTS:<\/strong> These perform a connective function: they join two sentences or clauses. E.g, It was a hard task, nevertheless, we performed well.
\nShe is hardworking, besides, she is intelligent.
\nOther examples are, consequently, meanwhile, otherwise, similarly, then, alternately etc.<\/p>\n

\u00a0CONJUNCTIONS
\n<\/strong>A conjunction is a word which joins words, or groups of words, together.<\/p>\n

\u00a0TYPES OF CONJUNCTIONS
\n<\/strong>Co-ordinating Conjunctions<\/strong>: These conjunctions join words or groups of words that are of the grammatical rank. Examples are; and, or, but, E.g Joy and Jane, In the garden and in the room, Bolu or Joy, We came but you were not around, We went and we saw him.
\n<\/strong>
\n\u00a0Correlative Conjunctions<\/strong>: These are conjunctions that are used in pairs. E.g either\u2026.or, not only\u2026.but also, both\u2026\u2026and, neither\u2026.nor. E.g Both James and Jerry attended the party, She is not only intelligent but also kind.
\nEither<\/em> the teacher or<\/em> the man comes here regularly.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Subordinating Conjunctions<\/strong>: These conjunctions introduce subordinating clauses. They include the following conjunctions: after, because, before, if, in order that, since, which, when, who, whose, that etc. Consider these:He left when she was cooking. We cooked before<\/em> they arrived.<\/p>\n

\u00a0PREPOSITION
\n<\/strong>This shows relationship between two words in a sentence. Examples are: within, before, at , in, on , over etc.
\nSome prepositions go with certain words
\n<\/strong>allergic to, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0subjected to,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0arrive in,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0live in,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0live on, live at, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0stare at, indict for, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0convicted of, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0victim of,
