  21. Noun as subject The atmospheric CO2 concentration will continue to increase .

  22. Noun as complement Any plan to rapidly terminate the use of fossil fuels would be a disruption to the world economy.

  23. Noun as object It would be very disruptive to rapidly terminate the use of fossil fuels around the world.

  24. Noun as appositive The concentration of atmospheric CO2, pollution, according to United States Supreme Court opinion Massachusetts v. EPA, will continue to increase for many decades into the future.

  25. Noun as direct address Dear Consumer: Get ready for electric cars.

  26. Using Pronouns • Kinds (personal, interrogative, relative, demonstrative, indefinite, reflexive, intensive) • Cases (subjective, possessive, objective)

  27. Using Verbs • Agreement • Transitive vs. intransitive • Tense • Voice • Mood • Verbals

  28. Agreement Singular: The rising level of atmospheric CO2 is… Plural: The rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are…

  29. Transitive vs. Intransitive Verbs Intransitive: The atmospheric CO2 concentration will rise for many decades. Transitive: The continued use of fossil fuels around the world will raise the atmospheric CO2 concentration.

  30. Verb Tense Present: The rising level of atmospheric CO2 is… Past: The rising level of atmospheric CO2 was… Future: The rising level of atmospheric CO2 will be… Perfect: The rising level of atmospheric CO2 has been… Past perfect: The rising level of atmospheric CO2 had been… Future perfect: The rising level of atmospheric CO2 will have been…

  31. Verb Voice Active: The continued use of fossil fuels around the world will raise the atmospheric CO2 concentration. Passive: The atmospheric CO2 concentration will beraised by the continued use of fossil fuels around the world .

  32. Verb Mood Indicative: The atmospheric CO2 concentration will rise for many decades. Imperative: Stop the use of fossil fuels around the world. Conditional: If the world were to rapidly terminate use of fossil fuels, the global economy would be disrupted.

  35. Adjectives and adverbs Adjectives: The atmospheric CO2 concentration will continue to increase for many decades. Adverbs: It would be severely disruptive to veryrapidly terminate use of fossil fuels around the world.

  36. Degrees of Adjectives and adverbs Positive: To rapidly terminate the use of fossil fuels is a bad policy because it would be disruptive for the global economy.

  37. Using Conjunctions • Coordinating (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) • Subordinating (if, because, although, etc.) • Independent vs. dependent clauses

  38. Coordinating Conjunction: The atmospheric CO2 concentration will continue to increase for many decades into the future, for it would be very disruptive to rapidly terminate the use of fossil fuels around the world.

  39. Subordinating Conjunction: The atmospheric CO2 concentration will continue to increase for many decades into the future because it would be very disruptive to rapidly terminate the use of fossil fuels around the world.
