Compound words
Compound words it is formed when two or more words put together to form a new word with a new meaning.
There are three kinds;
A.)Open form- have space between but they are one in meaning
B.)Hyphenated- connected by a hyphen
C.)Close form- two words joined together
Using compound words, we can have a new word by combining words. It is different from blending because in blending, we cut some part and put those part together. But here in compound words, we joining the whole words.

Verb
Verb
Verb is an action word. It have it forms; regular and irregular, Tenses- past. present, future. Phrases- these are group of words that work together. Participle- word form from a verb. Gerund- verbs end in -ing Ex. walking.
I think verb is difficult to study for especially its tenses, phrase, and participles. I don't know why but I'm still trying to understand them until now. I just know that verb is an action word can be past, present or future.

Pronouns
Pronouns
it is a substitute for nouns. Example, 'Ariane' can have a substitute of 'she'.
There are 7 types of pronouns. Personal. demonstrative, interrogative, reflexive, indefinite, relative, and number.

Context clues
Context clues
Context clues are words or sentence that will help you identify the meaning of unfamiliar words. It can be a restatement of the word, a synonym, or an example of that word that will help you understand that word. It is usually placed after the unfamiliar word
It can help in the way that you hide the true meaning of the sentence, you don't say it directly. I think it is good to use to have some twist and for readers to have some mystery on their minds.

Connotation, denotation and idioms
Connotation, denotation, and idioms
We already discussed connotation and denotation when we are in high school. And I learned that denotation are words that the meaning can be easily give or in literal meaning. While connotation are words that needs a dictionary to define briefly.
And as we discussed now, Denotation- other meaning of a word. Connotation- translation of sign to it's meaning.
Idioms are words put together but it is not by one-by-one meaning. I love to study idioms and also to use them. Because I am not directly saying what I mean to say. Ex: feeling blue- meaning feeling sad.
