Respondido em 09/08/2021 20:26:27 
 
 
Explicação: 
Noun clauses can be used to name something when a single word isn't enough. It's also important 
to remember that these clauses are dependent clauses. A dependent clause is one that cannot 
stand by itself. If a dependent clause is placed alone, it forms a fragment, not a full sentence. An 
independent clause can act as a sentence by itself, but dependent clauses cannot. 
Noun clauses commonly begin with words such as how, that, what, whatever, when, where, 
whether, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, and why. 
Noun clauses also act as objects of a preposition. 
• Harry is not the best provider of what Margie needs. 
• Josephine is not responsible for what Alex decided to do. 
• Allie is the owner of that blue car parked outside.

Read the text below: 
Since their expulsion from Spain in 1492, Sephardic Jews have managed to maintain 
their Jewish faith and Spanish group identity and have developed a uniquely Judeo-
Spanish culture wherever they settled. Among the important cultural ties within 
these Sephardic groups are Judeo-Spanish folktales, stories that have been passed 
down from generation to generation,either in the distinct language of the group, 
Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), or in other languages, such as Hebrew. In The Heart Is a 
Mirror, what Tamar Alexander-Frizer does is to examines the folk narratives of 
Sephardic Jews to view them both in relation to universal narrative traditions and 
the traditions of Jewish culture.

 Questão 
 
 
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. Some clauses are independent, 
others are dependent. Dependent clauses act as adjectives, adverbs or nouns. A dependent clause 
that acts as a noun is called a noun clause. 
In the following noun clause, Paul Newman, who was a very famous movie actor, died many years 
ago, why is it necessary the use of commas? 
 
 Because ´who was a very famous movie actor´ functions as the appositive. Noun clauses 
are nominals and can act as appositives. In that case, they may require commas if they are 
not essential to the meaning of the sentence.. 
 
Because appositive clauses do not ask for commas. 
 
Because we do not use commas with appositives, even if they are noun clauses. 
 
Because , in some cases, the noun being explained is too general without the appositive; 
the information is essential to the meaning of the sentence. When this is the case, do not 
place commas around the appositive. 
 
Because Paul Newman has already died, so the use of commas is unecessary.

Explicação: 
Noun clauses are nominals and can act as appositives. In that case, they may require commas if 
they are not essential to the meaning of the sentence.. 
Here, the words his original statement identify which statement is meant, so the noun clause 
provides information that is merely additional and not essential.

SUBORDINATE CLAUSES can be classified under the following heading, EXCEPT: 
 
 
Noun clauses 
 
Adverbial clauses 
 
Adjective Clauses 
 Pronominal Clauses 
 
Relative Clauses 
Respondido em 09/08/2021 21:05:09 
 
 
Explicação: 
"A subordinate clause or dependent clause is a clause that can¿t exist as a sentence on its 
own. Like all clauses, it has a subject and a predicate, but it doesn¿t share a complete thought. A 
subordinate clause only gives extra information and is ¿dependent¿ on other words to make a full 
sentence. 
A subordinate clause can work as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb in a sentence. So, there are 
three types of dependent clauses: noun clauses, adjective clauses/ relative clauses, and adverb 
clauses.

In order to master the grammar of a language, we need to understand certain details about it. 
Choose the comment among the ones below which is INCORRECT. 
 
 
According to AZAR (1989), a clause is a group of related words containing a subject and a 
verb. 
 
Clauses can be either independent clauses (also called main clauses) or dependent clauses 
(also called subordinate clauses). 
 
A phrase is a group of related words that does not contain a subject-verb relationship, such 
as "in the morning" or "running down the street" or "having grown used to this 
harassment". 
 
Another term for dependent clause is subordinate clause: this means that the clause is 
subordinate to another element (the independent clause) and depends on that other 
element for its meaning. 
 A clause is always considered as a full grammatical sentence. 
Respondido em 09/08/2021 20:36:57 
 
 
Explicação: 
An independent clause (or main clause) contains both a subject and predicate, can stand alone as a 
sentence (a simple sentence), or be a part of a multi-clause sentence. Clauses well connected are 
usually nicely balanced. 
That is to say: some clauses can stand by themselves, as separate sentences, and some can't.

 Subject complements come after linking verbs. In: Susan looks as if she is a wealthy woman, 
LOOK is a linking verb so " as if she is a wealthy woman." is a subject complement.

Read the text below: 
Since their expulsion from Spain in 1492, Sephardic Jews have managed to maintain 
their Jewish faith and Spanish group identity and have developed a uniquely Judeo-
Spanish culture wherever they settled. Among the important cultural ties within 
these Sephardic groups are Judeo-Spanish folktales, stories that have been passed 
down from generation to generation, either in the distinct language of the group, 
Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), or in other languages, such as Hebrew. In The Heart Is a 
Mirror, what Tamar Alexander-Frizer does is to examines the folk narratives of 
Sephardic Jews to view them both in relation to universal narrative traditions and 
the traditions of Jewish culture.

When we think of an adjective, we usually think about a single word used before a noun to modify 
its meanings . However, an adjective can also come in the form of an adjective clause. 
Read the comments below and choose the appropriate one. 
 
 
English has a zero relative pronoun ¿ that is, the relative pronoun is implied and not 
explicitly written or spoken; it is 'unvoiced'. This measure is used in nonrestrictive relative 
clauses (only) as an alternative to voicing that, which or who, whom, etc. in such clauses. 
 
Non-restrictive or non-essential adjective clauses simply gives extra information about the 
adjective. This additional information can be omitted. 
 
The distinction between the relative pronouns that and which to introduce relative clauses 
is a frequent point of dispute. The relative pronoun that can only be used in nonrestrictive 
clauses. 
 
The use of ´that´ is more appropriate than which after the pronouns all, any(thing), 
every(thing), few, little, many, much, no(thing), more, none, any, anything, anybody, 
somebody, some(thing). 
 Restrictive or essential adjective clauses offers essential information and is needed to 
complete the sentence's thought. They are closely connected with their heads. These 
clauses tell us which person or thing the speaker means.

Explicação: 
The information provided in: ´ Restrictive or essential adjective clauses offers essential information 
and is needed to complete the sentence's thought. They are closely connected with their heads. 
These clauses tell us which person or thing the speaker means.´ is adequate, since adjective 
clauses are a type of subordinate clauses that act as adjectives. An adjective clause is a dependent 
clause that, like an adjective, modifies a noun or pronoun.

literature and group identity via the stories' connection to Hebrew canonical sources, 
their historical connection to the land of origin, their treatment of prominent family 
members and historical events, and their connection to the surrounding culture in 
the lands of the Spanish Diaspora. Part 2 contains an analysis of several important 
genres and subgenres present in the folktales, which includes legends, ethical 
tales, fairy tales, novellas, and humorous tales. Finally, in part 3, Alexander-Frizer 
discusses the art of storytelling, introducing the theatrical and rhetorical aspects tied 
up in the Sephardic folktales, such as the storyteller, the audience, and the 
circumstances of time and place.

These are comments about adverbial clauses. 
Which of them is inappropriate? 
 
 
The subordinating conjunction in adverbial clauses may indicate relationships, such as: 
cause, concession, comparison, condition, place, or time. 
 Concessive clauses are used to concede a given point in an argument. The principle 
concessive conjunctions introducing a concessive clause are: although, considering (that), 
though, even though, even if; much as , while, whereas, however, much/badly/good, etc., 
no matter how, etc., no matter how much. They ought to be used in the beginning of the 
clause. 
 
Place clauses define the location of the object of the main clause. These clauses answer the 
question Where? And can be introduced by the conjunctions: where, wherever, anywhere 
and everywhere. 
 
An adverbial clause is separated from the other clauses by subordinating conjunctions. 
 
According to Baker (2001), an adverbial clause is a word or expression in the sentence that 
functions as an adverb; that is, it tells you something abouthow the action in the verb was 
done.

quick is he in relation to/compared with¿?).They involve the use of as + adjective + as (as quick 
as), not so/as ¿as, -er than. more¿ than, less¿ than, the¿ the. When continuing with the same verb 
in the same tense, we can omit the second verb, so the clause of comparison is implied. 
Adverbial clauses of comparison can involve the use of as (or so) much + noun + as and as many + 
noun + as. Words like half, nearly and nothing like will often combine with as or so.

Since Sephardic Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, they have 
managed to maintain their Jewish faith and Spanish group identity and 
have developed a uniquely Judeo-Spanish culture wherever they settled. 
Among the important cultural ties within these Sephardic groups are 
Judeo-Spanish folktales, stories that have been passed down from 
generation to generation, either in the distinct language of the group, 
Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), or in other languages, such as Hebrew. In The 
Heart Is a Mirror, Tamar Alexander-Frizer examines the folk narratives 
of Sephardic Jews to view them both in relation to universal narrative 
traditions and the traditions of Jewish culture.

Explicação: 
"Correlative conjunctions are sort of like tag-team conjunctions. They come in pairs, and you have 
to use both of them in different places in a sentence to make them work. They get their name from 
the fact that they work together (co-) and relate one sentence element to another. Correlative 
conjunctions include pairs like ¿both/and,¿ ¿whether/or,¿ ¿either/or,¿ ¿neither/nor,¿ ¿not/but¿ and 
¿not only/but also.¿

Drawing on cognitive science, evolutionary theory, anthropology, psychology, literary theory, and 
other fields, Zipes presents a nuanced argument about how fairy tales originated in ancient oral 
cultures, how they evolved through the rise of literary culture and print, and how, in our own time, 
they continue to change through their adaptation in an ever-growing variety of media. In making his 
case, Zipes both considers a wide range of fascinating examples (including fairy tales told, 
collected, and written by women in the nineteenth century) and reflects upon Catherine Breillat's 
film adaptation of Perrault's "Bluebeard", contemporary fairy-tale drawings, paintings, sculptures, 
and photographs that critique canonical print versions.

If there is one genre that has captured the imagination of people in all walks of life 
throughout the world, it is the fairy tale. Yet we still have great difficulty 
understanding how it originated, evolved, and spread--or why so many people 
cannot resist its appeal, no matter how it changes or what form it takes. In this 
book, not only does renowned fairy-tale expert Jack Zipes present a provocative 
new theory about why fairy tales were created and retold, but he also 
explains why they became such an indelible and infinitely adaptable part of cultures 
around the world.

Explicação: 
" Correlative conjunctions are sort of like tag-team conjunctions. They come in pairs, and you have 
to use both of them in different places in a sentence to make them work. They get their name from 
the fact that they work together (co-) and relate one sentence element to another. Correlative 
conjunctions include pairs like ¿both/and,¿ ¿whether/or,¿ ¿either/or,¿ ¿neither/nor,¿ ¿not/but¿ and 
¿not only/but also.¿

Besides subordinate and coordinate clauses, there are other types that we should pay attention to. 
Read the following comments and choose the one which IS NOT appropriate. 
 
 
The main aim of the choice for a correlative conjunction is to emphasize the implicit idea 
given by this conjunction. 
 
An elliptical clause may be either independent or subordinate. 
 
Whenever there is a correlative conjunction, the clauses are going to be classified as 
correlative clauses according to this conjunction. 
 
Elliptical Clauses or Elliptical Constructions are some special clauses in English, in which 
certain words are omitted. 
 Intercalated clauses are clauses which are separated from the rest of the paragraph by 
some kind of pause. In written, they are signaled by full stop, comma, dash, semicolon or 
parentheses.

 Questão 
 
 
These are special ´reminders´one should have in mind when dealing with ellipsis. 
Find the one which IS NOTappropriate. 
 
 
The words than and as when used in a comparison often introduce elliptical clauses. 
 
Words intentionally left out of clauses may be shown by the use of the appropriate 
punctuation. 
 
When you find than and as introducing an elliptical clause, one way to determine the 
correct pronoun is to finish the comparison that has been started. Example: Pat is much 
older than (he, him). 
 A comma is not used when the missing words are clearly understood. 
 
An elliptical clause is just a clause (subject & predicate) where some part of the clause is 
implied rather than stated. In other words, part of the clause is invisible.

The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy 
Tales 
Bruno Bettelheim was one of the great child psychologists of the twentieth century and 
perhaps none of his books has been more influential than this revelatory study of fairy 
tales and their universal importance in (1) understanding childhood development. By 
(2) analyzing a wide range of traditional stories, from the tales of Sindbad to "The 
Three Little Pigs," "Hansel and Gretel," and "The Sleeping Beauty," Bettelheim shows 
how the fantastical, sometimes cruel, but always deeply significant narrative strands of 
the classic fairy tales can aid in our greatest human task, that of finding meaning for 
one's life. 
Adapted from: https://www.amazon.com/Uses-Enchantment 
► The highlighted elements in the text serve to exemplify the use 
of gerunds. Bearing this in mind, what are the functions of (1) and 
(2) respectively? 
 
 (1) Gerund as object complement / (2) Gerund as direct object 
 (1) Gerund as object of a preposition/ (2) Gerund as adverb 
 (1) Gerund as subject / (2) Gerund as object of a preposition 
 (1) Gerund as subject complement / (2) Gerund as object of a 
preposition 
 (1) Gerund as direct object / (2) Gerund as indirect object 
Respondido em 16/08/2021 20:30:20 
 
 
Explicação: 
The use of the gerund structure in (1) serves to complement previous 
information headed by the preposition "in". Consequently, it functions 
as the the object of the preposition "in". However, the use of the gerund 
structure in (2) serves to indicate the way something was done, i.e., the 
manner. Consequently, (2) functions as an adverb.

Read the following considerations about the use of the gerund or the infinitive and 
choose the one which is inappropriate. 
 
 
Taking a new job in the city meant having to drive to work every day. - If she 
took the job, she would have to drive to her work every day. 
 She forgot telling me the great news. - When the meanings that are used want 
to talk about the future time, the gerund is used. 
 
I cannot bear to see you behave so badly.- Your behaviour is no good at the 
moment. 
 
I dread / hate to think what is going to happen. - These two verbs are followed 
by a to-infinitive when talking subjunctively (usually when using to think). 
 
He went on reading the novel, not having noticed his girlfriend enter. - He 
continued doing so. 
Respondido em 16/08/2021 20:26:11 
 
 
Explicação:

the to-infinitive is used, but when looking back in time, the gerund.

This revised, expanded, and updated edition of the 1979 landmark 
"Breaking the Magic Spell" examines the enduring power of fairy tales and 
the ways they invade our subjective world. In seven provocative essays, 
Zipes discusses the importance of investigating oral folk tales in their 
socio-political context and traces their evolution into literary fairy tales, a 
metamorphosis that often diminished the ideology of the original narrative. 
Zipes also looks at how folk tales influence our popular beliefs and the ways 
they have been exploited by a corporate media network intent 
on regulating the mystical elements of the stories. He examines a range 
of authors, including the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, Ernst 
Bloch, Tolkien, Bettelheim, and J.K. Rowling to demonstrate the continuing 
symbiotic relationship between folklore and literature.

being. 
 
When participles function as adjectives, they are usually found preceding the 
nouns and pronouns in a sentence. 
 
 
When participles function as adverbs, they are typically found following the verb 
in a sentence. 
 
Participles generally end with an - ed or - ing ending.

According to The Penguin Guide to Punctuation, "The problem with poor 
punctuation is that it makes life difficult for the reader who needs to read and 
understand what you've written." 
 
The purpose of punctuation is to help the reader understand you and to help you 
make your meaning clear. 
 Punctuation is one of the most important aspects of both oral and written 
English, and yet it is one that is taken the most lightly. 
 
Without punctuation writing becomes hard to read. 
 
Punctuation marks are a set of symbols, and are an integral part of written 
language. There are specific rules for the usage of each. Punctuation marks help 
put spoken words into writing.

" You should put a comma before but only when but is connecting two independent clauses. 
Example: I would go for a walk, but it¿s raining outside. 
How do you know you have two independent clauses? First, look at the words before but: I would 
go for a walk. Then look at the words after but: it¿s raining outside. Both of those phrases 
could stand alone as complete sentences. That means they¿re independent clauses, so you need to 
use a comma before but. "

Which of the following punctuation marks is used IN A SIMPLE SENTENCE? 
 
 
The comma is rarely used in simple sentences because they are short, just when 
we use adjectives. 
 
Exclamatory marks are used whenever we ask a question. 
 
We use a colon at the end of a simple sentence.. 
 
We usually use hyphens in simple sentences when we want to mention a series 
of options. 
 It all depends on the sentence. Anyway, the most important punctuation mark in 
this case is the full stop at the end of it.

Have you ever wondered why little children love listening to stories, why 
older ones get lost in certain books? In this enthralling work, Maria Tatar 
challenges many of our assumptions about childhood reading. Much as our 
culture pays lip service to the importance of literature, we rarely examine 
the creative and cognitive benefits of reading from infancy through 
adolescence. By exploring how beauty and horror operated in C.S. 
Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, J.K. 
Rowling's Harry Potter novels, and many other narratives, Tatar provides a 
delightful work for parents, teachers, and general readers, not just 
examining how and what children read but also showing through vivid 
examples how literature transports and transforms children with its 
intoxicating, captivating, and occasionally terrifying energy. In the tradition 
of Bruno Bettelheim's landmark The Uses of Enchantment, Tatar's book is 
not only a compelling journey into the world of childhood but a trip back for 
adult readers as well.

What is the difference in meaning between these pairs of sentences? 
I'm sorry you can't drive a car. 
I'm sorry. You can't drive a car. 
 
 
In coordinating structures, punctuation is not given the same importance as 
it is in subordination. What really matters is to know that the listener does 
not have the ability to drive a car. 
 
The second sentence is what is called ´dangling construction´. Anyway, in 
both sentences , we get to know that somebody is unable to drive a car. 
 In the first sentence, you would like the listener to be able to drive a car, 
but, for some reason, he can't. 
In the second sentence, you are telling somebody he is prohibited to drive 
a car. 
 
Both sentences have the same meaning, it´s just a matter of punctuation 
and intonation. 
They mean that the listener has not got a driving license. 
 
In the first sentence, you are telling somebody he is prohibited to drive a 
car. 
In the second sentence, the listener cannot drive a car because he does´t 
have a driving license.

In coordinating structures, punctuation is not given the same importance as 
it is in subordination. What really matters is to know that the listener does 
not have the ability to drive a car. 
 
The second sentence is what is called ´dangling construction´. Anyway, in 
both sentences , we get to know that somebody is unable to drive a car. 
 In the first sentence, you would like the listener to be able to drive a car, 
but, for some reason, he can't. 
In the second sentence, you are telling somebody he is prohibited to drive 
a car. 
 
Both sentences have the same meaning, it´s just a matter of punctuation 
and intonation. 
They mean that the listener has not got a driving license. 
 
In the first sentence, you are telling somebody he is prohibited to drive a 
car. 
In the second sentence, the listener cannot drive a car because he does´t 
have a driving license.

Explicação: 
Punctuation makes the whole difference. 
In the first sentence, you would like the listener to be able to drive a car, but, for some 
reason, he can't. In the second sentence, you are telling somebody he is prohibited to 
drive a car.

Explicação: 
 " Relative pronouns first function as the subject of adjective clauses. A subject is a word, phrase, 
or clause that performs the action of or acts upon the verb functioning as the predicate. 
The three relative pronouns that can function as the subject of an adjective clause are that, who, 
and which. Other examples of relative pronouns functioning as subjects include: 
• Harry Potter is the boy who lived here. 
• The department has experienced problems which have delayed production. 
• The man, who is also my uncle, is a world-renowned poet. 
• The teacher punished the students that cheated on the test. "

"A noun clause is a dependent clause that acts as a noun. Noun clauses begin with words such 
as how, that, what, whatever, when, where, whether, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, 
whomever, and why. Noun clauses can act as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, predicate 
nominatives, or objects of a preposition." ( http://www.k12reader.com/term/noun-clause/ ) 
• Harry is not the best provider of what Margie needs. 
• Josephine is not responsible for what Alex decided to do. 
• Allie is the owner of that blue car parked outside. 
Once again, Harry is not the provider of what? Josephine is not responsible for what? Allie is the 
owner of what?

Explicação: 
"An adverb clause is a group of words that work together as an adverb. The group can modify 
verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, and it does so by telling us: 
• When something is 
• Where something is 
• Why something is happening 
• How something is happening 
• How much there is of something 
• Under what condition something takes place 
Adverb clauses are often easy to recognize because they begin with a subordinating conjunction like 
'after,' 'if,' 'because,' and 'although.'"

Respondido em 17/08/2021 15:50:29 
 
 
Explicação: 
You know that a noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. 
You also know that a preposition is a word that comes before one noun to show its 
relationship to another word in the phrase or clause. 
So, a noun can function as an object of the preposition. 
The noun that comes after the preposition is called the object of the preposition.
