Lesson IX: Actionals

Exercise: B.1.1. Practice the Conversion: Activities to States Convert activity to state sentence pattern. For example: Activity: He works quietly. Action → Object (receiver): WORK ( S ) → WORKER (Object = Action + ER) Actional → Property : QUIETLY → QUIET ( Property = Actional - LY ) State: HE IS A QUIET WORKER . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Activity: He speaks clearly. Action → Object (receiver): SPEAK ( S ) → SPEAKER (Object = Action + ER) Actional → Property : CLEAR LY → CLEAR ( Property = Actional - LY ) State: HE IS A CLEAR SPEAKER . 1. He talks slowly. 6.

For example: State: Mary is a formal speaker . Object → Action : SPEAK ( ER ) → SPEAK ( S ) (Action = Object - ER) Property → Actional: FORMAL → FORMALLY ( Actional = Property + LY ) Activity: MARY SPEAKS FORMALLY. --------------------------------------------------------------------- State: He is a slow walker . Object → Action : WALK ( ER ) → WALK ( S ) (Action = Object - ER) Property → Actional: SLOW → SLOWLY ( Actional = Property + LY ) Activity: HE WALKS SLOWLY. 1. He is an intelligent adviser . 8. Ed is a good teacher . 2. John is a loud speaker . 9. Paul is a clear speaker . 3. Mary is a careful reader . 10. He is a good thinker . 4. John is a hard worker . 11. John is a fast walker . 5.
