\n<\/strong>TOPIC: NOMINALIZATION OF ADJECTIVE AND VERBS
\n<\/strong>Nominalization is an academic grammar tool which is used to turn verbs and adjectives into nouns.
\nExample: Exercising is essential for good health in this example, we have turned the verb “exercise” into a noun so that it can serve as the subject of the sentence.
\nNominalization function just like nouns: as subjects and objects of verbs and preposition.
\nAlso, in linguistics, nominalization or nominalisation is the use of a word which is not a noun (e.g. a verb, an adjective or an adverb) as a noun or as the head of a noun phrase, with or without morphological transformation. The term can also refer specially to the process of producing a noun from another part of speech.
\nHow Nominalization are formed:
\nExample: The Fiber in apples helps with digestion.
\nNominalizations are formed by adding a suffix to the original verb or adjective.
\nA suffix is a meaningful segment that is added into the end of a word. Unlike prefixes, suffixes can change the part of speech of a word.
\nExample: The suffix \u2013 tion changes the verb digest into a noun: digestion.

\n<\/strong>
\n\u00a0Consonant sounds are sounds that are produced when there is an obstruction in the air stream. The obstruction can be partial or total. The English consonants according to Roach (2002) are sounds that obstruct the flow of air through the vocal tract.
\nConsonants could also be described in mainly articulating terms because they usually involve contents of speech organs in their description. These sounds are produced with the air which originates from the lungs called “Pulmonic egressive air” and passes through the vocal tract. These are twenty-four (24) consonant sounds in English language. Each has its mode of articulation.
\nThe consonant sounds are divided into two: (i) voiced sounds (ii) Voiceless sound
\nVoiced sounds: these are sounds produced when the vocal cords vibrate in the course of their production, in order words, some English consonants are voiced sounds. There are fifteen (15) voiced sounds in English.
\nThey are: \/b\/, \/d\/, \/g\/, \/j\/, \/l\/, \/m\/, \/n\/, \/r\/, \/v\/, \/w\/, \/z\/, \/\u0292\/, \/ j \/, \/d\/, \/d\u0292\/
\nVoiceless sounds are sounds produced when the vocal cords do not vibrate in the course of the production. Meaning, some English consonant are produced when the vocal cords do not shake while producing them. These sounds are termed “voiceless sound”. There are nine (9) voiceless sounds in English, they include: \/t\/, \/k\/, \/p\/, \/f\/, \/s\/, \/ts\/, \/h\/, \/\u0283\/, \/\u0275\/

\n<\/strong>TOPIC: SUMMARY WRITING
\n<\/strong>
\n\u00a0Summary writing is primarily concerned with starting so much in very few words by remouing superfluous and expanded details.
\nAlso, summary writing is concerned with producing a bridged versions of a given text or passage so that all the salient issues are brought out. It also involves writing down a brief and concise account of a long passage.
\nThere are four main things students have to note in order to write a good summary. These are:
\n1. Brevity: this demands that the student must be brief and concise in their answers. There is no room for the use of flowering language or any other additional information aside from the main points.
\n2. Relevance: thus calls for a candidate’s answers to be relevant to the points mentioned in the passage. Students are not expected in summary writing to give any fact or point outside the passage, however relevant they think the fact or point is
\n3. Proper courage of the passage: this demands that students must read and understand every aspect of the passage.
\n4. Clarity: this means that students are expected to put down their answers clearly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
