We will be using the following IGE pages to review basic concepts of grammar (the same topics we have covered in the Morphology and Syntax chapters of Language Files, 10th edition). This should not be considered "new" material. You should already have studied almost all of this during your first year of college (or even in junior high school). The pages that appear below give you a brief review.
Morphology IGE Topic and Subtopic List. I will recycle some of the sentences in the exercises, so you should work out the answers for yourself. Note that If you see "&" you should also do the exercises; if you don't see "&," the sentences in the associated exercises will probably NOT appear on the midterm.
