The class is now moving on to the next paper.
You will be outlining articles. This will be your summary of the article.
After you outline these articles, you will then, put these ideas into your own words.
You will be writing your first essay using this summary.
 
In this paper you will have several paragraphs.  Each paragraph is represented by a Roman numeral.
 
The paragraph that precedes (comes before) the Roman numeral will be the introduction.
 
The paragraph that goes below the Roman numerals will be the conclusion.
 
Brad gave the assignment of outlining to prepare you for your next paper. You will be outlining your paper before you write it.
 
 
PRONOUNS
What are pronouns? What do they do? They are words that take the place of nouns.
When using pronouns in a sentence, the noun comes first followed by the pronoun that represents the noun.
 
Example: “The children had a good time cheering for their team.
Draw a line back from the pronoun to the noun it represents. This helps you to know what word the pronoun is representing.
 
Examples of pronouns: I, me, we, you, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose, us, them, my, your, yours, he, she, it, they, him, his, her, hers, its, their, theirs whose, our, ours.
 
P. 439 - Pronoun Case Chart
Use this chart to help you with pronouns.
Note: In a typical, English sentence, the subject pronoun is found to the left side of the sentence. The object pronoun is found to the right of the sentence.
 
P.  433 – Indefinite Pronouns
Indefinite pronouns are always singular.
Example: Everybody is going to the game. (Every single one of you is going to the game.)
THIS WILL BE ON THE FINAL EXAM. KNOW THIS INFORMATION!!!
 
P. 432 – Practice 1
In the following sentences, the noun and pronoun representing the noun are in bold print.
1.    When a man buys a wedding ring, he follows an age-old tradition.
2.    Rich Egyptian grooms gave their brides gold rings five thousand years ago.
3.    To Egyptian couples, the ring represented eternal love; it was a circle without beginning or end.
4.    By Roman times, gold rings had become more affordable, so ordinary people could also buy them.
5.    Still, many a Roman youth had to scrimp to buy his bride a ring.
6.    The first bride to slip a diamond ring on her finger lived in Venice about five hundred years ago.

Special Singular Antecedents
Note: Either must always use or.
          Neither must always use nor.
          Not only must always use but also.
 
Each, neither are singular.
Example:
Each of my friends has a bike. (Note: “of my friends” is a prepositional phrase. Take this out of the sentence to find the subject. Then find the verb.)
 
Neither of the boys had money for a snack.
