STRUCTURE

SKILL 9: ADJECTIVE CLAUSE CONNECTORS

In the first example, there are two clauses: this is the subject of the verb is, and I is the subject of the verb want. That is the adjective clause conector that joins these two clauses, and the adjective clause that I want to buy describes the noun house.

            In the second example, there are also two clauses: house is the subject of the verb is, and I is the subject of the verb want. In this sentence also, that is the adjective clause connector that joins these two clauses, and the adjective clause that I want to buy describes the noun house.

            The following example shows how these sentence patterns could be tested in the Structure section of the TOEFL test.

In this example, you should notice quickly that there are two clauses: job is the subject of the verb was, and the verb started needs a subject. Because there are two clauses, a connector is also needed. Answers (a) and (c) have connectors, but there are no subject, so these answers are not correct. Answer (b) changes started into a passive verb; in this case the sentence would have one subject and two verbs, so answer (b) is not correct. The best answer to this question is answer (d). the correct sentence should say: the job that he started yesterday was rather difficult. In this sentence job is the subject of the verb was, he is the subject of the verb started, and the connector that joins these two clauses.

The following chart lists the adjective clause connectors and the sentence patterns used with them.

EXERCISE : each of the following sentences contains more than one clause.Then indicate if the sentences are correct (C) or incorrect (I)

1.     I did not believe the story that he told me. C

2.     Ms. Brown, whom did you recommend for the job, will start work tomorrow. I

3.     The lecture notes which lent me were not clearly written. I

WRITTEN EXPRESSION

SKILL 21: SUBJECT AND OBJECT PRONOUNS

Pronouns are words such as he, she, or it that take the place of nouns. One common problem with pronouns on the TOEFL test is that subject and object pronouns are confused, so you should be able to recognize these two types of pronouns.

A subject pronoun is used as the subject of a verb. An object pronoun can be used as the object of a verb or the object of a preposition. Compare the following two sentences.

In the second sentence, the subject pronoun she is replacing the noun Marie. The object of the verb it is replacing the noun phrase the film, and the object of the preposition him is replacing the noun barry.

            The following are examples of the types of subject or object pronoun errors than you might see on the TOEFL test.

                                                Me* and my friend are taking a trip.

                                                Our neighbors are going with you and I*.

In the first example, the object pronoun me is incorrect because this pronoun serves as the subject of the sentence. The object pronoun me should be changed to the subject pronoun I. it can be difficult to recognize that me is the subject because the verb are has a double subject, me and my friend. In the second example, the subject pronoun I is incorrect because this pronoun serves as the object of the preposition with. The subject pronoun I should be changed to the object pronoun me. It can be difficult to recognize that I is the object of the preposition with because the preposition with has two object: the correct object you and the incorrect object I.

EXERCISE: each of the following sentences contains at least one subject or object pronoun. then indicate if the sentences are correct (C) or incorrect (I).

1.     You should do it for her. C

2.     They helped she with the work. I

3.     Her and Bob came over to visit me. I

4.     She lent it to you and i. I

5.     She spent all the money on them. C
