(7a) Marissa will walk her dog.(7b) Marissa can walk her dog.(7c) Marissa may walk her dog.(7d) Marissa should walk her dog.(7e) Marissa must walk her dog.
It's a great use of example of auxiliary, In my opinion should switch up Marissa to another name and the format of the sentences.
That's the only problem I have with the chapter.
Tense according to the schoolbooks
Good use of Diagrams of Tense and examples for the readers that prefer visual representation.
How many tenses does English have?
Good, to ask these questions.
Isn't 12 or 16? I could be wrong.
o begin, fill in the sentence “Marissa ________ her dog” with the form of the verb walk that is appropriate for each of the three primary tenses that you were taught: past, present, and future.
This is good, gave the definition of Tense, leading to an example of tense and ending with a sentence with the term tense.
This is very important about this chapter, I like what is told about Tense in this chapter.
These books are frequently vague about just what tense is,
Good information to know, straight to the point and truthful.
What is tense?
The only thing I have learned in school about tense is vindicating the time of an event.
Grammar books designed for younger students often call auxiliary verbs “helping verbs
Yes, I was told this in class by a professor.
A unit higher up in the tree also has the same word as its head.
Everything in this chapter is meaningful, I don't think this chapter needs improvement.
Fred and Netherlands are instances of proper nouns. A proper noun is a type of noun that refers to a specific person, place, or thing (Evelyn, Cairo, Saturday, etc.) Common nouns refer to classes of things (cat, trash, stone, etc.) rather than particular ones. All nouns that are not proper are common.
It make sense, this information is not new to me. I didn't know the term that is Proper and Common nouns.
The frame sentence is deliberately brief to allow it to make sense with a wide variety of nouns, but because of this vagueness, some people don’t see why some of the items in column 5 are not flagged as ungrammatical.
Why is it viewed as being vague? What is an example of a vague statement?
determiners

Notes
One way the article could approve, is having more facts about these terms such as adverbials, etc.. and not be opinionated.

Tree diagrams can also be drawn under the sentence, although in this course we will follow the more common practice
I know diagrams is important and shows visual representation, One way chapter 4, can approve is removing Diagrams, tell few informations about it.
Constituency
According to the Identifying Constituent, the term of the constituent consist of category of words that can make up larger grammatical units.
Native speakers have knowledge about the categories and functions of constituents.
In the phrasal categories, consist of noun phrases, verb phrases, prepositional phrase and adjective phrase. The constituency test contain two common constituency test are substitution and movement.
The Substitution test have pronouns that can substitute for NPs that appear in different position in a sentence. A pronoun can remove the larger constituent or it can replace the smaller constituents. A constituent can be moved to the front of sentence in the movement test.
hierarchical
Hierarchy is a visual techniques that has variation of philosophy, math, science, etc.
Linguists favor a different method for representing structure, known as a “tree diagram.
This chapter is about Diagrams and the importance of how it is reliable while being in class.
Grammarians like diagrams. You may have been compelled to draw something this in school
I have been using diagrams since middle school I believe and I'm still using diagrams in school today.
The name comes from the presence of a wh- word (who, why, etc.). There are also other types of cleft sentences

Informally, we might say that the head word is the main idea of the phrase.
I think i get it, but still need explanation.
attributes
is any part of speech that deals with the noun in the subject. The noun can be adjective, pronoun, phrases.
syntax
Syntax affects the tone and mood, the words combine to make a sentence and have structure.
When you understand how sentences are put together, you will be able to analyze your own writing and understand the structures that you have been using intuitively.
Yes, this is true
Syntax
Syntax also deals with words to form of a sentence, clauses and phrases also inserts in the sentence.
Linguistic
I'm picking the word Linguistic to know the deep meaning of the word.
Linguistic
Linguistics is a
study of language that includes vocabulary, grammer, the sound of language and how word progress over time. The study of English language is an example of linguistics. It deals with speaking, reading, writing and conservation between individuals, primarily the definition for language also.
There are different parts of Linguistics such as Phonology, Morphology, Phonetics and others. It works on specific language, the end goal is to get a better understanding of the language. Phonetics is the study of speech sounds in their physical from. Phonology is a study of sound that is referring to a system of language. It’s a branch of linguistics that analyzes how languages are portrayed. Morphology is the study of development of words. Syntax deals with words to form of a sentence, clauses and phrases also inserts in the sentence.

language is fundamentally a mental process, existing in the minds of its speakers.
Well said.
For example, you probably don’t speak the same way when delivering an oral report in class as you do chatting on the phone with your friends.
Everyone should relate to this.
There's no way I'm writing Yo or Bro on a assignment.
If we are studying our native language, we can be our own informant—in other words we can use our intuition and knowledge of how we and others speak to decide what is grammatical.
Ofc, I don't think a individual is worried about what is grammatical. But, then again I could be wrong.
quasi-algebraic notation.
The Quasi- Algebraic Notation was confused about the statement. I get the use of this knowledge.
what they really mean is that they lack conscious knowledge about grammar.
Great use of information, personally I hope for my grammar to be better well need it to be great in the future. All of my assignments that I have completed for college so far, had either lack of "grammar" or lack of "details".
cursory
without details
vary
It changes from one thing to another
Example- A group of people play the game "Uno" a individual put two cards in the deck when everyone else is not looking. The individual was able to win the game by cheating.
This is an example of the situation where you vary the order of cards in the game of "UNO"
bequeathed
It's to pass something on or leave something to someone else.
Example- If a family member passes away, the person leaves their will to the person of their choice.
Linguists, of course, do need to study languages, but communication with others isn’t typically their primary goal
I thought part of the Linguistics definition consist of studying languages
. If you put any infant born without developmental disabilities in any culture, that child will learn the language—or languages—he or she hears spoken
A child picks up any language that is being spoken in the household. Children is smart and wise, if they hear a curse word, they will repeat it.
Children can learn any language they are exposed to.
Yes, definitely is true. My nationality is Haitian. In my household, family members speak French and Creole. I'm learning how to speak French. I'm custom with speaking Creole only my parents, uncle and aunt speaks French.
I wanted to give my students the tools necessary to think just as critically about grammar as they would about a literary or historical text.
This is important, grammar is a major element to have. It's necessary being able to know the mistakes you make while writing.
Although not the work’s main focus, I also devote some attention to considering how these grammatical topics appear on standardized tests such as the SAT and the ACT.
I believe it appears on English Regents also, i might be wrong. When I took the PSAT in high school reading, writing, grammer was the focus of the test
the fundamental concepts that are necessary for a solid understanding of English grammar. Unlike many books, it doesn’t just tell you how things are in English
Yes, this is true. Grammer deals with sentence, punctuation, or the accurate ways to write or speak a language.
Phonology: The patterns of sounds in language.
Phonology- is also known for having sections of linguistics that studeis langauges.
DNA, another combinatorial system, uses only four basic blocks, and combinations of these four blocks give rise to all the biological diversity we see on earth today.
I don't think I ever read an article that has DNA in the language definition
As a result, learning how to analyze language can be challenging because to understand one part you often need to know about something else
What is the other things that an individual have to know?
Who's Right?
There's no right or wrong with languages, it's a form of communication when trying to persuade the audience/person to understand what's being talked about.
Descriptive vs. Prescriptive Grammar
Isn't Descriptive vs. Prescriptive Grammar a form of Correct Language?
or They don't have any?
This is the grammatically correct.
ain't
All of my professors that I had so far dislike "ain't.
But if we treat 'wouldn't' as one word, then we can explain why it is treated as one word in the yes/no question Wouldn't it hurt? Notice that we don't say Would not it hurt? for Would it not hurt?, or Would have he cared? for Would he have cared?
I wondered to myself when I was in elementary school, why I couldn't start a sentence with the word wouldn't or would've. My professor made me understand the concept, my sentence should make sense and starting with those words it's not good.
undeniability is a complex noun formed from the adjective 'undeniable', which is formed from the adjective 'deniable', which is formed from the verb 'deny'.
That's a good breakdown of the word "Undeniability", talked about the adjective and the verb.
Grammar
Grammer is how you manipulate with words talking in a specific language.
syntax
Does syntax includes punctuation, phrases, etc.?
preposition
It makes sense and not ending a sentence with a preposition.
I'm not really understanding this sentence.
