1. Introduction to Grammar Rules Welcome to the exciting world of grammar! Grammar rules are like the building blocks of language. They help us communicate clearly and effectively. We'll explore some important rules that make our writing strong and understandable. EG by Edraliz G

2. Objectives Identify clauses and phrases within sentences (Rule 1) Ensure proper pronoun-antecedent agreement (Rule 2) Learn how to write numbers in an engaging way (Rule 3) Study examples of confusing words and homonyms, and practice using them correctly (Rule 4)

3. Rule 1: Clauses and Phrases 1 What are Clauses? A clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb. It expresses a complete thought. 2 What are Phrases? A phrase is a group of words that doesn't have both a subject and a verb.

5. Rule 2: Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement Pronouns Pronouns take the place of nouns. They can be words like "he," "she," "it," "they," and "we." Antecedents The antecedent is the noun the pronoun refers to. It's the word the pronoun replaces. Deductive Reasoning We'll learn the rule and apply it to examples to make sure pronouns agree with their antecedents.

6. Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement The dog wagged its tail. The pronoun "its" agrees with the antecedent "dog." The students raised their hands. The pronoun "their" agrees with the antecedent "students." The cat sat on its bed. The pronoun "its" agrees with the antecedent "cat."

7. Rule 3: Writing Numbers Numbers 1-9 Write these numbers out as words: "one," "two," "three," and so on. Numbers 10 and Above Use numerals for numbers 10 and above: "10," "11," "12," and so on. Interactive Practice Let's practice writing numbers correctly in a fun and engaging way!

9. Rule 4: Confusing words and Homonyms 1 Confusing words These words are often spelled similarly but have different meanings. 2 Homonyms These words sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings. 3 Inductive Learning We'll learn by studying examples of these words and practice using them correctly.

10. Confusing words and Homonyms To, Too, Two These words sound alike, but have different meanings and uses. "To" indicates direction, "too" means also, and "two" represents the number.
