Grammar for Being Modest (Week 11)

Image
"To be or not to be, that is the question" (Shakespeare 1).  William Shakespeare's famous line has continued to influence speakers' or writers' decisions to make certain claims. Weinstein and Finn expressed that "teachers" (121) contribute to "the confusing use of 'I'" (121). Weinstein and Finn stated that the use of "I" is "far too often forbidden" (121) in classes. Wienstein's and Finn's claim on the use of "I" are realistic in many ways. For example, I had to be careful and considerate in the use of "I" when I was in a meeting. If I used "I" to express something, I might omitted the contributions of others even though "other" people might not contribute to the group work. However, it was "me" that did the most, if not, all of the work. To appease the others, I ended up using "we" and "ours" to make false claims about what did not happen...

Grammar for the Past - Past Tense

Here was the dialogue in the present tense: You really do not make sense. You are insensitive to mom's needs. You do not consider her point of view. I am not sure you are such a person. According to Weinstein and Finn, "nobody likes to be negatively labeled" (81). When I had that...

Grammar for the Faster Speakers and Writers (Week 11)

Image
There are many ways speakers and writers can use to convey their messages. Whether they use passive or active voices, their focus is to "create voice" (Weinstein and Finn 56) for their targeted audience. By creating a voice for their audience, speakers and writers can use "contractions and parentheses" as "grammatical devices" to help them conveying such "purpose" (Weinstein and Finn 56).  For example, "Here I am actually 'hooked' on a program" (Weinstein 61). The speaker wanted to emphasize his passive enjoyment of a program by placing the word "hooked" in parenthesis to emphasize the importance of his or her message.  The speaker wants to be "passively real" with his or her intention about the program he or she wants.  The word "hooked" is actually a past participle of "hook," which is a verb." To use "hooked," the speaker or writer must use a linking verb of "to be....
