Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  10. Unit III Prefixes • What are prefixes?Prefixes are groups of letters added before a word, which then creates new words and new meaning.  For example: • biannual  -  "bi" means twice, so the new meaning is "twice a year"distrust  -  "dis" means not, so the new meaning is "not to trust"submarine  -  "sub" means under, so the new meaning is "under water" • There are many prefixes in English, some of which are quite common and some of which are used-less frequently. In some cases, the same prefix may have more than one meaning, too. If you learn prefixes, your ability to comprehend new words will greatly improve. Unfortunately, it comes down to memorization. Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  11. Prefixes cont’ Here's a list of many prefixes. The ones marked with the following symbol (O) are more often used, and should perhaps be studied first.anti-against; opposite from/toanti-aging        anti-bacterial       anti-viralSome anti-aging skin creams can get quite pricey. bi- twice; tobiannual        biplane        bipolarThe top sales reps have a biannual meeting in sunny Puerto Rico. circum- around; round aboutcircumlocution        circumnavigateIt's always been a dream of mine to circumnavigate the globe in a sailboat.

  13. UNIT IV: NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES SUFFIXES • Verbs + Nouns suffixes = Noun and Nouns or verbs + suffixes = Adjectives There has been a big improvement in the economy. Who do you think will win the election? The problems are due to bad management. The road were dangerous this morning. It was foggy and I can’t see far. He was very emotional when he said ‘good bye’. Did you buy a diesel car because it’s more economical than petrol. Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  14. NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES SUFFIXES cont’ • Adjectives + Noun suffixes *** Students will find out the example of these words C) -able, -ful, and –less -able: This common suffix creates adjectives from nouns and verbs: An enjoyable evening, a comfortable chair, Jeans are still fashionable. -ful: often means ‘full of’ or ‘having the quality of noun’ careful(= doing sth with care and attention) careful driver, very helpful, painful, thoughtful. -less: often means “ without”: Careless, useless, homeless, etc…. *** Students will find out the examples for these words Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  15. NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES SUFFIXES cont’ • -r, -er, -or, -ist. These suffixes can be added to nouns or verbs. They often describe people and jobs. Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  16. EXERCISE OF UNIT 4 Exercise I How many suffixes are there in this unit studying? How many types of those suffixes? Are the words leaded suffixes “-ous, -al, -y, -ive” nouns/verbs or adjectives? Are the words leaded suffixes “ –ness, ity” nouns/verbs or adjectives? What are the type words when we suffix to them by “-ment, -ion, -ing”? Exercise II Describe the 3 suffixes -able, ful, and -less. What do they means? Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  17. UNIT V: COMPOUND NOUNS • WHERE IS A COMPOUND NOUN FORMATION FROM? A COMPOUND NOUN IS FORMED FROM TWO WORDS, AND OCCASSIONALLY THREE, TO CREATE A NEW SINGLE IDEA. E.G. EARRINGS, FRYING PAN, TIN OPENER= cans opener, WASHING MACHINE, SUNGLASSES, CREDIT CARD, TOOTHBRUSH ETC.. THEY ARE MORETHAT WRITTEN WITH A HYPHEN E.G.T-SHIRT, MAKE-UP (= STUFF YOU PUT ON THE FACE, OFTEN ON LIPS AND AROUND EYES, TO BE ATTRACTIVE) • WHERE IS THE STRESS SYLLABLE STAND ON? Most of the compound nouns , the main stress are usually on the first part. E.g. postoffice, income tax. But sometime they are on the both parts, e.g.sciencefiction, mothertongue. You must have a good friend for helping you is a large size dictionary. • HOW TO FORM THE NEW COMPOUNDS One part of compound often forms the basis for a number of compound noun as you can see the following: Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  18. COMPOUND NOUNS cont’ Here are some samples of compound nouns: Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  19. Plural forms of compound nounsIn general we make the plural of a compound noun by adding -s to the "base word" (the most "significant" word). Look at these examples: COMPOUND NOUNS cont’ Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  20. Note that there is some variation with words like spoonful or truckful. The old style was to say spoonsful or trucksful for the plural. Today it is more usual to say spoonfuls or truckfuls. Both the old style (spoonsful) and the new style (spoonfuls) are normally acceptable, but you should be consistent in your choice. Here are some examples: Some compound nouns have no obvious base word and you may need to consult a dictionary to find the plural: • higher-upshaɪ.ərˈʌp/ someone with a more important position than you in an organization • also-rans/ˈɔːl.səʊ.ræn/ someone in a competition who is unlikely to do well or who has failed • go-betweens some1 who takes messages between people who are unable or unwilling to meet • has-beens: disapproving, a person who in the past was famous, important, admired or good at something, but is no longer any of these. • good-for-nothings a person who is lazy and not helpful or useful . She told him he was a lazy good-for-nothing and should get a job. • grown-ups: an adult, used especially when talking to children Ask a grown-up to cut the shape out for you. COMPOUND NOUNS cont’ Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  21. COMPOUND NOUNS cont’ • Note that with compound nouns made of [noun + noun] the first noun is like an adjective and therefore does not usually take an -s. A tree that has apples has many apples, but we say an apple tree, not apples tree; matchbox not matchesbox; toothbrush not teethbrush. • With compound nouns made of [noun + noun] the second noun takes an -s for plural. The first noun acts like an adjective and as you know, adjectives in English are invariable. Look at these examples: Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  22. Compound noun quiz Using compound nouns, can you shorten the following phrases? Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  23. Unit VI Compound Adjectives • What is a compound adjective? • A compound adjective is an adjective that comprises more than one word. Usually, hyphens are used to link the words together to show that it is one adjective.Examples:- Please request a four-foot table.('Four-foot' is an adjective describing the table. A hyphen is used to link 'four‘ and 'foot' to show that it is one adjective.)- It is a 6-page document.- Claire worked as a part-time keeper at the safari park.- That is an all-too-commonmistake. 12-pagemagazine, free-range eggs, never-to-be-forgottenexperience.Compound adjectives can also be grouped using italics, quotation marks and title case (i.e., capital letters). This is covered more in the lesson Alternatives to Hyphens in Compound Adjectives. Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  24. Compound Adjectives cont’ • Compound Adjectives from Proper Nouns Often adjectives are formed from proper nouns (i.e., the names of things), which should be written using capital letters. In these circumstances, there is no need to group the words together using hyphens.Examples:Did you manage to get the Billy Elliottickets? (The words 'Billy Elliot' are one adjective describing the tickets. As the capital letters group the words, there is no need to use a hyphen.) The village fete will be held on the Red Lion lawn. ភូមិប្រារព្ធមហោស្រពនិងធ្វើឡើងនៅឯវាលស្មៅ Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  25. Compound Adjectives cont’ • Compound Adjectives with Quotation Marks and Italics Although a less common practice, it is also possible to group the words in a compound adjective using quotation marks, italics or a combination of the two. (Italics tend to be used for foreign words.)Examples:It is anab initio course (i.e., for beginners) initio is a Latin, From the beginning; from the first act; from the inception. (italics used to group the adjective) Amber looked at the stick in the water, looked me in the eye and then turned away, giving me a "get it yourself" look. (quotation marks used to group the adjective)For more than ten years, Jack claimed to be part of the "Mary Celeste" crew before admitting to his cousin at a party that he was not.​ (capital letters, italics and quotation marks used to group the adjective) Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  26. Compound Adjectives cont’ • Adverbs and Compound Adjectives As covered in the Adverbs, an adjective is often preceded by a word like very, well, beautifully or extremely. (These are adverbs.) Usually, there is no need to link an adverb to an adjective using a hyphen. Examples:Young Tracey is an extremely brave girl. (The adverb 'extremely' modifies the adjective 'brave' but is not part of it. There is no need to group it and 'brave' together with a hyphen.)It was a beautifully painted portrait in a skillfully carved frame. (The adverb 'beautifully' adds to the adjective 'painted' but is not part of it. It is the same with 'skillfully' and 'carved'. There is no need for hyphens.) • USE A HYPHEN WITH WELL  The following rule will cover most scenarios: When preceding an adjective with the adverb well, use a hyphen. well-known actor, well-known lawyer (< hyphen with 'well') widely known actor (< no hyphen with any other adverb) Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  27. Compound Adjectives cont’ • Ambiguous Adverbs​ ​ ដែលមានន័យមិនប្រាកដ However, with words like well and fast (which are both adjectives and adverbs), a hyphen can be used to avoid ambiguity. Example:Jacob took the well-fatted calf to the riverside. ('well-fatted calf' as in a very plump calf)Jacob took the well fatted calf to the riverside.('well fatted calf' could be construed as a 'well' (i.e., healthy) and 'fatted' calf. In the first example, the 'well-fatted calf' could be ill.) Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  28. Practice your exercises of compound adjectives • REWRITE EACH OF THE SENTENCES BELOW, FORMING A COMPOUND ADJECTIVE FROM THE WORDS IN ITALICS AND MAKING ANY OTHER CHANGES NECESSARY Example: • The journey took ten hours. They make these chocolates by hand. The memory was both bitter and sweet. Answer: • It was a ten-hourjourney. These chocolates are hand-made. It was a bitter-sweet memory. • That thing looks dangerous. • Mr. Reed is an accountant who was born in London. • She always dresses very smartly. • It was painted red like the color of bricks. • She has eyes like a cat.

Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  30. UNIT VII Phrasal Verb • What are phrasal verbs? • Phrasal verbs are mainly used in spoken English and informal texts. (The more formal a conversation or text, the less phrasal verbs are found.)Phrasal verbs consist of a verb and a particle (preposition, adverb). The particle can change the meaning of the verb completely. For example:: look up – consult a reference book (look a word up in a dictionary) look for – seek (look for her ring) look forward – anticipate with pleasure (look forward to meeting someone) There are no rules that might explain the meaning of phrasal verbs. All you can do is look them up in a good dictionary and study their meanings. Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  31. Phrasal Verb cont’ • Position of the Particle: In some cases the particle is placed either after the verb or after the object. • Example: Write down the word Write the word down If the object is a pronoun, however, the particle has to be placed after the pronoun (object). • Example: Write it down. Your photo album. Put it down Your jacket. Take it off Phrasal verbs are mainly used in spoken English and informal texts. (The more formal a conversation or text, the less phrasal verbs are found.) Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  34. UNIT VIII: Countable and uncountable nouns • In English, nouns are "countable" or "uncountable“. Countable nouns refer to things and concepts that can be counted, like two hours, five puppies and twenty geraniums. Uncountable nouns refer to things and concepts that cannot be counted, such as luggage, information or courage. • Although identifying countable and uncountable nouns sounds easy, it isn't always so—sometimes, the same noun can have both a countable and uncountable sense. Think of time, as in we've had some good times (countable) versus it's time to leave (uncountable). Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  35. Countable and uncountable nouns cont’ • In English grammar, words that refer to people, places, or things are called nouns. They can be classified in many ways. One way to classify nouns is according to whether they can be counted or not. Many English mistakes are related to this point. By learning through this page, you will understand: 1) what countable and uncountable nouns are. 2) how to use them correctly in a sentence Countable (or count) nouns are words which can be counted. They have a singular form and a plural form. They usually refer to things. Most countable nouns become plural by adding an ‘s’ at the end of the word. Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  36. Countable and uncountable nouns cont’ For example: Uncountable (or non-count) nouns are words which cannot be counted. Therefore, they onlyhave a singular form. They have no pluralforms. These words are thought of as wholesrather than as parts. They usually refer to abstractions (such as confidence or advice) or collectives (such as equipment or luggage). For example: Using Countable & Uncountable Nouns When using countable or uncountable nouns, pay attention to articles and adjectives! Some articles and adjectives can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns. However, others can be used with only countable or only uncountable nouns. Let’s see together!!! Prepared by Men Tum English and Business teacher

  41. UNIT IX Prepositions What is a Preposition? A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the preposition. A preposition usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence as in the following examples: The book is on the table. The book is beneath the table. The book is leaning against the table. The book is beside the table. She held the book over the table. She read the book during class. In each of the preceding sentences, a preposition locates the noun "book" in space or in time. A prepositional phrase is made up of the preposition, its object and any associated adjectives or adverbs. A prepositional phrase can function as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. The most common prepositions are "about," "above," "across," "after," "against," "along," "among," "around," "at," "before," "behind," "below," "beneath," "beside," "between," "beyond," "but," "by," "despite," "down," "during," "except," "for," "from," "in," "inside," "into," "like," "near," "of," "off," "on," "onto," "out," "outside," "over," "past," "since," "through," "throughout," "till," "to," "toward," "under," "underneath," "until," "up," "upon," "with," "within," and "without."
