1-1 NOUN CLAUSES BEGINNING WITH A QUESTION WORD
Soru sözcüğü ile başlayan bir soruyu, noun clause biçimine dönüştürmek için öncelikle o cümleyi soru olmaktan kurtarmamız gerekir. Bunun için de soru cümlesi düzenini düz cümle düzenine dönüştürmeliyiz. Bilindiği gibi İngilizce soru cümlesi Yardımcı fiil + özne + yüklem formülü ile oluşturulur. Düz cümle ise Özne + yardımcı fiil + yüklem düzeniyle kurulur.
Question: Why is he coming tomorrow?
Noun clause: Why he is coming tomorrow is a secret.
Question: What time does he start work?
Noun clause: I don't know what time he starts work.
Question: When did he leave the country?
Noun clause:When he left the country is still unknown.

Noun clause: I haven't decided yet what I am going to buy for him.
Question: When did you buy that sweater?
Noun clause: I can't remember when I bought this sweater.
Question: What have they done about this case?
Noun clause: I have no idea what they have done about this case.
***Eğer bir soru sözcüğü cümlenin öznesini soruyorsa, o soru cümlesinde özne olarak bir başka sözcük bulunmadığı için, cümleyi düz cümle biçimine dönüş türemeyiz. Bu nedenle, soru cümlesi ile noun clause'un sözcük dizimi aynı olur.
Question: Who is coming tomorrow?
Noun Clause: I don't know who is coming tomorrow.
Question: What is happening in that country?
Noun Clause: What is happening in that country doesn't concern me.

Noun Clause: I haven't heard whose daughter has passed the exam.

Adjectives and Adverbs
ADJECTIVES
ex: This is a small village. It looks peaceful. There are some lovely old houses.
♦ Adjectives describe nouns (a big car). They have the same form in the singular and plural, e.g. a small house small houses
♦ Adjectives go before nouns, e.g. a beautiful girl. They can also be used alone after the verb to be and after verbs such as look, smell, sound, feel, taste, etc. e.g. Jack is tall. You look sad
♦ There are two kinds of adjectives: opinion adjectives (beautiful, good, etc.), which show what a person thinks of somebody or something, and fact adjectives (long, strong, young, etc.), which give us factual information about age, size, colour, etc.
ORDER OF ADJECTIVES
♦ Opinion adjectives go before fact adjectives. e.g. a beautiful silk dress
♦ When there are two or more fact adjectives in a sentence, they usually go in the following order:
Size Age Shape Colour Origin Material
a small old square blue Thai silk scarf
♦ We do not usually have a long list of adjectives before a single noun. A noun is usually described by one, two or three adjectives at the most.
e.g. an expensive Persian silk carpet
ADVERBS
ex:Farmers wake up early in the morning.
They work hard all day.
They go home late in the evening.
They work hard all day.
They go home late in the evening.
♦ An adverb can be one word (carefully) or a phrase (in the park). Adverbs show manner (how), place (where), time (when), frequency (how often), etc.
e.g. He drives carefully.
(How does he drive? Carefully. - adverb of manner)
Your coat is here.
(Where is it? Here. - adverb of place)
He left for Italy yesterday.
(When did he leave? Yesterday. - adverb of time)
He usually eats out.
(How often does he eat out? Usually. • adverb of frequency)
♦ Adverbs usually go after verbs, e.g. He walks slowly
♦ Adverbs of frequency go after auxiliary verbs and the verb to be, but before main verbs.
e.g. He is always on time for appointments. He has never visited Paris. He always comes to work on time.
Formation of adverbs
♦ We usually form an adverb by adding -ly to the adjective.
e.g. dangerous • dangerously
♦ Adjectives ending in -le drop the -e and take -y.
e.g. gentle - gently
♦ Adjectives ending in consonant + y drop the -y and take -lly.
e.g. easy - easily
♦ Adjectives ending in take -ly.
e.g. wonderful - wonderfully
*Some adverbs are not formed according to the above rules. They have either a totally different form or the same form as the adjective.
Adjective Adverb
good well
fast fast
hard hard
early early
late late
ORDER OF ADVERBS
♦ When there are two or more adverbs in the same sentence, they usually come in the following order:
manner —-- place --— time
(how) (where) (when)
| | |
He was studying hard in his room last night.
♦ If there is a verb of movement (go, come, leave, etc.) in the sentence, then the adverbs come in the following order:
place — manner — time
(where) (how) (when)
| | |
She came home by bus yesterday.

She Went To Sleep And Woke Up 30 Years Later
| The real-life story of Annie Shapiro - who fell into a coma at age 50 in 1963 - is more remarkable than the movie based on her miraculous re-awakening.When she suddenly awoke nearly 30 years later in 1992, she was a 79-year-old granny, devastated by her appearance and the way the world had changed. Just after she emerged from her years of darkness, she told me: "When I went to sleep, I was a darn good-looking woman. But in the mirror, all I see is an old lady with bags around her eyes, wrinkles and grey hair. She could not believe that her husband Martin was an old man of 81 and that her teenage son and 25-year-old daughter Marilyn were middle-aged. She was awe-struck to learn about cordless telephones and spaceships flights. The talented business-woman, who had run two apron shops near Toronto, Canada, before her illness, fell into a coma on Nov 22, 1963, aged 50. She was watching news reports on the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy on her black-and-white TV set when she suffered a massive stroke. For the next two years, Mrs Shapiro was totally paralysed, with her eyes staring wide open. Her husband would put drops in her eyes every few hours to keep them from drying out. Mr Shapiro, steel foundry worked, said he dressed and fed her "like a totally helpless child." "She couldn’t think or walk," he said. At night, he lay next to his sleeping beauty in the darkness. He consulted experts, but no one could help her. After two years of physical therapy, he finally got her to the point where she could set up and walk, assisted on either side. She could not see but could eat simple food. As the years passed, Mrs Shapiro’s son and daughter married and had two children each, and most of her friends died. The Vietnam War ended, astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, Richard Nixon resigned over the Watergate scandal, communism collapsed and the world entered the computer age. During her long sleep, Mrs Shapiro’s body began breaking down. She had cataract surgery, a hysterectomy and a hip replacement. But amazingly, on Oct 14, 1992, she suddenly snapped out of her coma. Mr Shapiro, who had retired and moved his ill wife to a retirement community in Florida, was flabbergasted. "I was lying beside her in the bed," he said, "when she sat up and said: :Turn on the television. I want to see the I Love Lucy show." It was like a dead person come to life." Mrs Shapiro got her first shock when she realised the TV was in colour, not black-and-white. But she was rally stunned by her husband’s grandfatherly appearance and her own wrinkled face. "When she first looked in the mirror, she wanted to die," said Mr Shapiro. "She hollered and then cried over all those lost years." Her first thoughts were for her son Marshall. The day before her stroke, Mr Shapiro had kicked the 16-year-old youth out of the house because he had crashed the family car. "She wanted me to bring our son home," he said. As he dialled Marshall’s telephone number in Toronto, he told his wife that her boy was now aged 48, married and father of two. At first, Mrs Shapiro was afraid to get on the line and talk to him because it was a cordless phone. "The phone didn’t have any wires," she told me. "A voice was coming out of it and I thought it must be magic." Then she asked to telephone her sister Rose, only to be told that she and her husband were dead - and her three brothers had died , too. Mrs Shapiro’s daughter Marilyn Pomerantz, 55, flew from Canada to Florida to help her mother adjust. As the first shockwaves ebbed, Mrs Shapiro desperately tried to catch up on what had happened in the world. The woman who had been silent for 30 years stayed up around the clock for two days and did not stop talking. Dr Glenn Englander, who was treating her for high blood pressure the day before she awakened from her coma, called her recovery a miracle. "I gave her something to lower her blood pressure," she said. "If I did something unknowingly to help her, I’d like to find out so I can do it for others." The most touching part of the miracle was the renewed romance between Shapiro and her husband, who had cared for her all those years, refusing to have her placed in a nursing home. "When I made my marriage vows and promised to stay together in sickness and in health, I meant it," said Mr Shapiro on a national TV show, "not like the people of today." Our romance began all over again. "We both could hardly walk, but Annie wanted me to take her dancing," he said. Sadly, her husband died three years ago. And now, Mrs Shapiro, 85, lives alone in a Toronto nursing home. According to her daughter, she sleeps a lot but when she is awake, she often time-travels between tragic 1963 and the good final years she had with the man who loved her forever.
