CLASSICS 2MT3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Moodle
Document Summary
Adjectives: describe nouns (or pronouns) verbs: action words. Articles: a/an/the we (rightfully) make a big deal out of these in the book (and on the moodle) Pronoun: not really needed in medical terminology (except something ) Adverbs: not really needed in med term conjunction: not really needed in med term (except and/involving ) Most nouns describing non-anatomical things in med term will be abstract nouns. Using the instead of a will often help emphasize the abstractness. Ex. the inflammation of x (not an inflammation of x) Ex. an abnormal condition involving x (is more abstract than the) some nouns don"t have articles. Ex. pain in/involving x learn terminations with the article (or the lack thereof)
