My LEGO Nexus Organization

Yes, the title probably made you think I need help with Grammar. Actually, I'm here to offer help. I'm takinf reaaaaaaally advanced grammar (although I may not always shot it :P) and I can help you with it if necessary. Anything from parts of speech to diagramming sentences I have covered.

(I was taking collage freshmen-level grammar in the fourth grade)

I'm studying for a grammar test, and I was wondering if you could help me.

If you have a non-essential subordinate clause followed by the conjunctive adverb "however", which is in turn followed by independent clause, should the conjunctive adverb be preceeded with an semicolon or a comma? I forget sometimes.

Nah I'm just kidding, but if you need any help with others let me know.

O_o I only got part of  that. That was a run-on sentence, though. :P

And sure, if you want to help. Because apparently there's more grammar I don't know about. :P

I'm known as the "Grammar Freak" at school, so I can help!

Uh-huh. Are you up to diagramming sentences yet?

We're just getting to that type of stuff now, my school only offers honors classes for math and reading once you get to Jr. High.

does anyone know all of the tenses in english?

I'd be happy to help too.

I would like some help in Subject/Verb Agreement.

I have to first ask what grade you're in, because I might not be able to help.

Grade 8.

S/V Agreement is one of my weaknesses.

um.. could someone please help me with the tenses? i kinda need it...

That's what I'm finishing up right now!  Ask away!

could you post all of them, or pm me?

please list he names and post what they are, like for conditional say something similar it is only to happen under certain circumstances. it includes should, would and could.

Please post them, so all may benefit. Thank You.

It's so easy, if S = Singular, then V = Plural and if S = Plural, then V = Singular.

...I think he means Subject/Verb agreement. =P

And...what trouble are you having with it, B~T?

Way to ask college questions.  ::)

@BT, if you can give an example I can help.

"Bob and his friends goes to the store."

The correct verb to use is "went", rather than goes because even with the added on phrase "and his friends, we are talking about Bob and his friends, which is plural.

"Either Timmehdex or senor baldeman stole the cookie."

The correct verb to use is "ate", because "either" implies one of the two in the group.

I need to know how NOT to put singular nouns with singular verbs for plural verbs with plural verbs unintentionally while writing.  

O_o

Sorry, I forgot!

Wagner: Do you mean present tense, future tense, and past tense?  That's all I learned!   I learned participles and other stuff as well...

Past Tense: When did you come home?  When is an adverb describing when you got home, which is past tense.

Present Tense: Are you coming home?  If somebody called to ask you this, it would be at the present, right?  The answer is either you are or you aren't, both of which are at the present.

Future Tense: We will invent flying cars.  Will is typically used as an adverb describing the future.  This example is no different.

Is this what you wanted? 

I don't know if anyone needs help with these, but I'll post them anyway:


Noun: Person, place, thing, or idea (house, car, computer, cat, park, apartment).
Pronoun: A word for a generic set of people (He, she, we they, neither, all, everyone). Also  interrogatives (Who, what, when, where, why).
Adjective: Describes a noun (big, blue, tall, wide, epic, useful).
Verb: Action! (ran, walk, ate, stole).
Helping Verb: Comes before a verb, and describes in what period of time you are doing something (is, am, are, was, were, be, been, being).
Adverb: Describes how the verb does something. Usually ends with -ly (quickly, silently, slowly, carefully, eagerly).
Conjunctions: A break in the sentence (and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet, because).
Interjections: A brief exclamation (Oh my! Gosh! Wow! Ouch! Darn!)
Prepositions: Describes where you are in relation to a thing (noun) (around, under, through, beneath, above, around).

Subject: The noun in the sentence. (The black cat...).
Predicate: The verb and everything else after it (...ran across the room).

Declarative: A statement (I finished my homework).
Imperative: A command (Clean your bedroom).
Interrogative: A question (What time is it?).
Exclamatory: An exclamation (Johnny got hurt!).

Simile: Comparing two things using like or as (He's as fast as a cheetah).
Metaphor: Applying something to something else (He's a cheetah!).
Idiom: Figure of speech (Don't make a mountain out of a molehill).
Onomatopoeia: Words that sound like something (Zip, crash, boom, bang, zoom)


I hope someone will benefit from this list.

Nice, Obi!

Oci: adverbs also desribe adjectives and othe adverbs. (eg: very)
