  5. Adjective Clauses • Relative pronouns begin adjective clauses. • Koki, whom the people trusted, was lying. • What is the relative pronoun? What is the independent clause? What is the adjective clause? • Why are adjective clauses used by writers? To give more information; to write with more description.

  6. VERB TENSES A verb shows action, a feeling, or a state of being. What are the verbs in the three sentences doing? Which sentence show something happening in the present? In the past? In the future?

  7. Verb Tenses • In the present tense, verbs used with the third person singular (he, she, or it) usually end in s. • In the past tense, most verbs end in ed, but some have irregular spellings (run, ran; sleep, slept; come, came).

  8. Present Participles • The creatures are crying for a change. • The –ing form of a verb as used here is called a present participle. • It shows an action not yet complete.

  9. Present Participles • The tiger is prowling. • His time was ticking away. • Identify the present participles in the above sentences. • Present participles can also be used as adjectives: The crying cub demanded his mother’s attention.

E.g., in the early 1700s, during her time. Other “time transition” words include now, soon after, meanwhile, then, eventually, at the same time, later, presently, currently…

  11. Transitional Words and Phrases • ORDER TRANSITIONS These words or phrases help identify the order that events took place but are not connected to time. “Order transition” words include next, first, secondly, in the second place, finally, in conclusion, to begin with, finally…

  12. Informal Dialogue • Everyday conversation = informal dialogue. • Writers use punctuation and spelling to capture the informal language used. For example, dashes used to show a pause while speaking, then the thought is continued; shortening of the word “because” to “cos”; “yep” instead of “yes”; “How’d you mean” for “What do you mean”; incomplete sentences such as “Dress different,” “Cook different” • See if you can find more examples of informal dialogue in the novel you’re reading now.
