Document Summary
Remind you that over time, english has shifted to analytic language from synthetic language. Paraphrasis: the tail of the dog or the dog"s tail. Look same on surface, but can say turn the tv off, turn off the tv. Phrasal verbs can be insterted in the middle, but cannot with prepositional verbs. I totally love what you did with your hair. Adverbs/adj are being comparative/superlative formed through paraphrasis rather than suffixes. Pronoun/antecedent agreement in terms of case # or gender. Plural possessive pronoun referring back to antecedent to not refer to gender. Old e, mid e, etc. lexical, ortho, syntax ex"s. give passages ahead of time. Can pick 4/5 of lexicon, etc. worth 36 points.
