Topic: Structure – Word Modifiers; Adjectives and Adverbs.

A modifier is a word or phrase added to another word or phrase to give a clearer picture of the latter. Modifiers are usually adjectives and adverbs.

 

Adjectival modifiers describe nouns while adverbial modifiers modify verbs. A wide inventory of them is needed to enable precise, valid and effective descriptions, especially in essay writing.

 

Compare the sentences on the left with the sentences on the right in the box column.

Topic: Writing – A Report.

A report means an account of a happening. It is similar to a narrative writing. Indeed the report of a meeting, an event, an activity, an important occasion etc. is another form of narrative writing. It however becomes more than a mere record of events when the writer makes comments criticisms of his own.

For a report to be interesting, it must possess certain qualities in content and style. It requires a straight forward account of the event or incident in a simple and uncomplicated language. The account is also presented in proper sequence, generally in order of time and then grouped into paragraphs according, to the stages in the report. Correct choice of tense must be made, especially use of past tense.
