Identify each word in a sentence - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

To get a list of word positions in sentence and recreate the original sentence from this list:

sentence = "ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY"
s = sentence.split()
positions = [s.index(x)+1 for x in s]
recreated = [s[i-1] for i in positions]
# the reconstructed sentence
print(" ".join(recreated))
# the list of index numbers/word positions
print(positions)
# the positions as a space separated string of numbers
print(" ".join(positions)

Lists are zero-indexed so the first element is index 0, not 1. You could, of course, add 1 to all indices in the list comprehension if you wanted it to start at 1.

To get exactly the same output as your script produces:

sentence = "ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY"
s = sentence.split()
positions = [s.index(x)+1 for x in s]
print(sentence)
print(positions)

Output:

ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 3, 9, 6, 7, 8, 4, 5]

Exercises in Identifying Subjects and Verbs

Subjects and verbs sometimes appear right next to each other, but often they’re separated by modifiers.
Richard Goerg/Getty Images

There are two basic parts of a sentence: the subject and the predicate. The subject is usually a noun: a person, place or thing. The predicate is usually a phrase that includes a verb: a word that identifies an action or state of being. For example, both «run» and «is» are verbs.

One easy way to distinguish subjects from verbs is to put the word «he» or «she» before the word. If the phrase makes sense, the word is a verb. If it doesn’t, it’s probably a noun. For example, is the word «bird» a subject (noun) or a verb? How about the word «dances?» To find out, put the word «he» in front of each word. «He bird» makes no sense, so the word «bird» is a noun and could be the subject of a sentence. «He dances» does make sense, so the word «dances» is a verb, which could be part of the predicate.

Try these exercises to help you distinguish between subjects and verbs. Two exercises are provided to give you (or your students) two opportunities to practice.

For each of the following sentences, decide whether the word in bold print is the subject or the verb. When you are done, compare your responses with the answers below.

The dog shivered.
An owl shrieked.
The moon disappeared behind the clouds.
We waited.
Nobody said a word.
For a moment, nobody even breathed.
A light rain fell on our heads.
The leaves trembled.
Our hearts beat faster.
Then the black sky opened up.
Furious flames lit up the night.

Answers

1. verb; 2. subject; 3. verb; 4. subject; 5. verb; 6. subject; 7. verb; 8. verb; 9. verb; 10. subject; 11. subject

Exercise B: Identifying Subjects and Verbs

For each of the following sentences, decide whether the word in bold print is the subject or the verb. When you are done, compare your responses with the answers below.

Mr. William Herring is the jolliest man I know.
His outward features reflect the delightful character within.
His hair is red and frizzy, like Orphan Annie’s.
His head is fat and round.
He has small, dark, hamster-like eyes.
His eyes peer inquisitively from behind metal-rimmed glasses.
His small mouth is always formed into a friendly grin.
His thick neck connects this funny head to an egg-shaped torso.
He has two fat arms with plump hands and fingers shaped like hot dogs.
On one of these fingers is a diamond-studded gold ring.
The gleam of the ring matches the brilliance of Mr. Bill’s smile.
His Santa Claus belly, girded by a cowboy belt, hangs over the sort of baggy trousers that went out of style with leisure suits and platform shoes.
Mr. Bill’s shoes, however, are invisible beneath his trousers.
Still, his walk is distinctive.
In fact, he seems to roll rather than walk.
He rolls to the rhythm of his own laughter.
His students roll right along with him.

Parts of speech are categories that are used to describe each word’s function in a sentence. The best way to identify a word’s part of speech is to think about what role the word plays in the sentence, but there are also a few clues that can help you figure out the part of speech if you are unsure about the word’s function.

1
Identify naming words as nouns. A noun is any word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Nouns can be concrete (Alice, dog, table, etc.) or abstract (beauty, independence, cycle, etc.).^[1]
- Proper nouns are used to name a specific person, place, or thing, and the main words are always capitalized (Fred, New York, the Declaration of Independence).
- Nouns can be either singular or plural.
- Nouns can be possessive, in which case they typically end in ‘s or s’.
2
Know that pronouns stand in for nouns. Sometimes, a noun is not always named. Words that do not directly name a person, place, thing, or idea, but take the place of a word that does, are pronouns.^[2]
- Some pronouns stand in for people’s names (he, our, they, hers, etc.).
- Other pronouns represent an object or idea (it, these, this, etc.).
- Pronouns may also stand in for very indefinite nouns that may be difficult to name without the use of a pronoun (everyone, no one, something, etc).

3
Recognize action words as verbs. A verb is any word that is used to express an action (run, cleaned, driven, etc) or being (is, was, been, etc). Verbs have multiple tenses that express when the action took place.^[3]
- Auxiliary verbs (also known as helping verbs) are words that are used to change the tense of the main verb (will, did, would, etc.). These are still considered verbs.
4
Learn that adjectives modify nouns and pronouns. An adjective is any word that is used to modify or describe a noun or pronoun (blue, many, smart, etc.). Adjectives typically answer questions like «how many?», «what kind?», or «which one?»^[4]
- Numbers are considered adjectives when they are used to answer the question «how many?»
- Articles (a, an, and the) are considered adjectives by many because they answer the question «which one?» However, some people consider articles to be a separate part of speech.
5
Know that adjective and verb modifiers are adverbs. An adverb is similar to an adjective in that it is used to describe or modify. Instead of modifying a noun or pronoun, however, an adverb modifies a verb or adjective (happily, extremely, then, etc.). Adverbs typically answer the question «how?», «why», «when?», or «how much?»^[5]
- Adverbs may also modify other adverbs. (I ran very quickly.)
6

Understand that prepositions express relationships. A preposition is a word or phrase that is used to show the relationship between noun or pronoun and another element in the sentence (at, by, in, to, from, with, etc.). Prepositions are typically very short words.^[6]
7
Identify words used to join clauses as conjunctions. A conjunction is a word that connects other words, phrases, or clauses (and, but, or, because, etc).^[7]
- Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two clauses that are equally important to the sentence. There are 7 coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, nor, or, so, and yet. (I like cats, but I don’t like dogs.)
- Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a main clause and a subordinate clause, which is less important to the sentence. (I went outside, although it was raining.)
8

Recognize exclamations as interjections. An interjection is a word or phrase used to express an emotion or feeling, such as surprise. (oh, wow, my goodness, etc). Interjections are capable of standing alone and are not grammatically related to the rest of the sentence. However, they can also be included in a sentence, separated by parenthesis, dashes, or comas on either side of the interjection.^[8]

1
Learn the Subject-Verb-Object rule. Most sentences in the English language have the same basic structure: the sentence begins with the subject, followed by the verb, and then the object (if the sentence has an object). There are exceptions to this rule, but understanding the norm can help you identify the parts of speech in most sentences.^[9]
- Both the subject and object of a sentence will contain a noun or pronoun. This means that a sentence that has both a subject and an object will contain a noun or pronoun both before and after the verb. (I ate the apple.)
- The subject and object may contain modifiers such as adjectives as well.
- When the sentence has a direct object, it will come directly after the verb. (I like cookies.) When the sentence has an indirect object, it will come after a preposition. (I gave the card to Frank.)
2
Understand correct adjective and adverb placement. Although there are certainly exceptions to the rules, the placement of adjectives and adverbs is usually very predictable. Understanding where these words are most often found can help you identify them in sentences.
- Adjectives are almost always found before nouns and pronouns (We look at a red dress.) or after the linking verb «to be» (The dress is red.)^[10]
- When adverbs are used to modify adjectives, they are almost always found right before the adjective. (The meal was truly delicious.)^[11]
- When adverbs are used to modify verbs, they may be found before the subject (Later I will walk to school.), directly before the verb (I will carefully clean the artifacts .), or directly after the verb. (I go to the park frequently.)
3
Identify clauses and phrases to find conjunctions. Because conjunctions are typically found between two clauses or phrases, you should be able to identify one by looking for the clauses or phrases that it joins together. If the word comes between the two clauses or phrases and seems to join them, it is likely a conjunction.
- Conjunctions like «and» and «but» are sometimes used at the beginning of a sentence, although this is more rare. When it is done, you should be able to identify the other clause or phrase in the previous sentence.
4
Use exclamation points to identify interjections. Some interjection are followed by exclamation points because they express emotional responses.^[12] If you see an exclamation point, the word proceeding it may be an interjection, although exclamation points are used after other types of words as well.
- Not all interjections are marked by exclamation points. Don’t rely on exclamations as the only way to recognize interjections.
- Another clue that a word might be an interjection is that it is used alone. If there are other words in the sentence, it is less likely to be an interjection.
5
Look for nouns and pronouns to identify prepositions. Prepositions are typically found before noun or pronoun phrases. (I went to the store.) This is because the preposition expresses the relationship of the noun or the pronoun to the previous part of the sentence.
- Keep in mind there may be an adjective, adverb, and/or article between the preposition and the noun or pronoun. These modifiers are all considered to be part of the noun or pronoun phrase. (We paid for the very expensive jeans.)

1
Recognize suffixes that are common in nouns. Although not all nouns contain one of these suffixes, many do. Understanding that they are most common in nouns can help you identify the part of speech of a word, even if you do not know its meaning. Look for the following suffixes to help identify nouns:^[13]
- -ion (population)
- -sion (tension)
- -tion (attention)
- -acy (accuracy)
- -age (image)
- -ance (allegiance)
- -ence (permanence)
- -hood (childhood)
- -ar (scholar)
- -or (editor)
- -ism (idealism)
- -ist (realist)
- -ment (government)
- -ness (sadness)
- -y (beauty)
- -ity (capacity)
2
Know which suffixes are common in adjectives. Just as with nouns, there are certain suffixes that are most commonly used with adjectives (although there are exceptions). Committing the following suffixes to memory may help you identify adjectives in sentences more easily:^[14]
- -al (clerical)
- -ful (wonderful)
- -ly (friendly)
- -ic (chronic)
- -ish (squeamish)
- -like (childlike)
- -ous (contagious)
- -y (yappy)
- -ate accurate
- -able (laughable)
- -ible (horrible)
3
Learn which suffixes are common in verbs. There are a few suffixes that are used with verbs more often than any other type of word. If you see one of the following suffixes on a word, it is likely that it is a verb:^[15]
- -ify (typify)
- -ate (proliferate)
- -ize (rationalize)
- -en (tighten)
4
Remember that most adverbs share a common suffix. Adverbs are by far the easiest parts of speech to identify using suffix clues. This is because the majority of adverbs end in the suffix -ly (merrily, wonderfully, quickly, etc.). If you see a word that ends in this suffix, there is a very good chance that it is an adverb.^[16]
- There are some words that end in -ly that are not adverbs (butterfly), so be careful not to overgeneralize.
- There are also a few adverbs that do not end in -ly (well, fast, very, etc.).

Question

What part of speech is the word «has»?

«Has» is a verb because it expresses an action. Depending on the sentence it is used in, it may be a main verb (He has the flu) or an auxiliary verb (She has traveled to Spain), but either way, it is still a verb.
Question

What part of speech is an article?

Articles (a, an, and the) are considered by some to be adjectives because they modify nouns. Other people consider articles to be a completely separate part of speech.
Question

In the sentence «Spring flowers are very beautiful» what part of speech is «spring»?

«Spring» is an adjective because it modifies the noun «flowers.»

Article SummaryX

To identify different parts of speech, analyze the function that the word plays in a sentence. If the word names a person, place, thing, or idea, it is a noun. Label a word as a pronoun if it takes the place of a noun. If you see a word that expresses an action, that is a verb, and words that modify a verb are adverbs. If a word modifies a noun or pronoun, it is an adjective. To learn how to identify prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections, read on!

Given a sentence as a string str and a word word, the task is to check if the word is present in str or not. A sentence is a string comprised of multiple words and each word is separated with spaces.
Examples:

Input: str = “Geeks for Geeks”, word = “Geeks”
Output: Word is present in the sentence

Input: str = “Geeks for Geeks”, word = “eeks”
Output: Word is not present in the sentence

Approach: In this algorithm, stringstream is used to break the sentence into words then compare each individual word of the sentence with the given word. If the word is found then the function returns true.
Note that this implementation does not search for a sub-sequence or sub-string, it only searches for a complete single word in a sentence.
Below is the implementation for the case-sensitive search approach:

CPP

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

bool isWordPresent(string sentence, string word)

{

stringstream s(sentence);

string temp;

while (s >> temp) {

if (temp.compare(word) == 0) {

return true;

}

return false;

}

int main()

{

string s = "Geeks for Geeks";

string word = "Geeks";

if (isWordPresent(s, word))

cout << "Yes";

else

cout << "No";

return 0;

}

Java

class GFG

{

static boolean isWordPresent(String sentence, String word)

{

String []s = sentence.split(" ");

for ( String temp :s)

{

if (temp.compareTo(word) == 0)

{

return true;

}

return false;

}

public static void main(String[] args)

{

String s = "Geeks for Geeks";

String word = "Geeks";

if (isWordPresent(s, word))

System.out.print("Yes");

else

System.out.print("No");

}

Python

def isWordPresent(sentence, word):

s = sentence.split(" ")

for i in s:

if (i == word):

return True

return False

s = "Geeks for Geeks"

word = "Geeks"

if (isWordPresent(s, word)):

print("Yes")

else:

print("No")

C#

using System;

class GFG

{

static bool isWordPresent(String sentence, String word)

{

String []s = sentence.Split(' ');

foreach(String temp in s)

{

if (temp.CompareTo(word) == 0)

{

return true;

}

return false;

}

public static void Main(String[] args)

{

String s = "Geeks for Geeks";

String word = "Geeks";

if (isWordPresent(s, word))

Console.Write("Yes");

else

Console.Write("No");

}

Javascript

<script>

function isWordPresent(sentence, word)

{

let s = sentence.split(" ");

for ( let temp=0;temp<s.length;temp++)

{

if (s[temp] == (word) )

{

return true;

}

return false;

}

let s = "Geeks for Geeks";

let word = "Geeks";

if (isWordPresent(s, word))

document.write("Yes");

else

document.write("No");

</script>

Time complexity: O(n) where n is the length of the sentence.

Auxiliary space: O(n) where n is the length of string.

Below is the implementation for the case-insensitive search approach:

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

bool isWordPresent(string sentence, string word)

{

transform(word.begin(),

word.end(), word.begin(), ::toupper);

transform(sentence.begin(), sentence.end(),

sentence.begin(), ::toupper);

stringstream s(sentence);

string temp;

while (s >> temp) {

if (temp.compare(word) == 0) {

return true;

}

return false;

}

int main()

{

string s = "Geeks for Geeks";

string word = "geeks";

if (isWordPresent(s, word))

cout << "Yes";

else

cout << "No";

return 0;

}

Java

import java.util.*;

class GFG

{

static boolean isWordPresent(String sentence,

String word)

{

word = transform(word);

sentence = transform(sentence);

String []s = sentence.split(" ");

for ( String temp :s)

{

if (temp.compareTo(word) == 0)

{

return true;

}

return false;

}

static String transform(String word)

{

return word.toUpperCase();

}

public static void main(String[] args)

{

String s = "Geeks for Geeks";

String word = "geeks";

if (isWordPresent(s, word))

System.out.print("Yes");

else

System.out.print("No");

}

Python3

def isWordPresent(sentence, word) :

word = word.upper()

sentence = sentence.upper()

s = sentence.split();

for temp in s :

if (temp == word) :

return True;

return False;

if __name__ == "__main__" :

s = "Geeks for Geeks";

word = "geeks";

if (isWordPresent(s, word)) :

print("Yes");

else :

print("No");

C#

using System;

class GFG

{

static bool isWordPresent(String sentence,

String word)

{

word = transform(word);

sentence = transform(sentence);

String []s = sentence.Split(' ');

foreach ( String temp in s)

{

if (temp.CompareTo(word) == 0)

{

return true;

}

return false;

}

static String transform(String word)

document.write("No");

</script>

Time complexity: O(length(s))

Auxiliary space: O(1)

Method #3:Using Built-in Python Functions:

As all the words in a sentence are separated by spaces.
We have to split the sentence by spaces using split().
We split all the words by spaces and store them in a list.
We use count() function to check whether the word is in array
If the value of count is greater than 0 then word is present in string

Below is the implementation:

C++

#include <iostream>

#include <algorithm>

#include <vector>

#include <sstream>

In an English Language exam, you may come across questions about words in context. These are multiple-choice questions that ask you to consider the meaning of a word. You can identify them by paying close attention to how the questions are worded. To answer words in context questions, you should look for the circumstances surrounding the passage each question is based on.

Words in Context Meaning

«Words in context» refers to how words change meaning in different circumstances. Words often mean slightly different things depending on their context.

Context is the set of facts and circumstances that surround a word or phrase in a text.

Context sometimes changes the meaning of words. For example, the word «restrain» means different things depending on its context.

I had to restrain my laughter when he fell over that chair!
The coach had to restrain the football team captain to keep a fight from breaking out.
These tariffs were designed to restrain international trading.

What changes the meaning of «restrain» in each of these examples? The circumstances surrounding them!

In the first example, the fact that something funny happened made it clear «restrain» means to control emotions.
In the second example, the mention of a possible fight indicates «restrain» means to physically hold back.
In the third example, the verb «designed» and the reference to international trade made it clear that «restrain» means to limit trade.

When answering questions about words in context, you are really just identifying how the meaning of a word changes based on the circumstances that surround it.

Words in Context Identification

There are two primary types of context: Immediate context and broad context.

Immediate context includes the words, phrases, and sentences of the passage surrounding the word.

Broad context includes the larger historical, biographical, and genre considerations in which the passage was written.

Here is how you identify each type of context.

Identifying Immediate Context

Ask yourself some questions.

What is the situation being described in this passage?
What is the tone the author takes in this passage?
What other words in this passage can help me understand how this word is being used?
What similar words does the author use in this passage?

Identifying Broad Context

Ask yourself some questions.

When was this passage written or published?
Where was this passage written or published?
Who wrote this passage? What do I know about them?
What type of genre is this passage?
What do I know about the political, social, or economical situation in which this passage was written?

Fig. 1 — Look out for the big, big picture.

Words in Context Questions

The purpose of words in context questions is to check your understanding of how circumstances can change the meaning of the words or the passage around them. Understanding the effects of context is important for understanding language AND the world around you.

Context changes everything. Everything you read, write, watch, listen to, or do is shaped by context. Think about what it’s like to learn about your favorite author. You probably first read their books with an idea of what it meant. However, once you learned more about the author’s life and the time period they lived in, this probably changed what their writing meant to you. The context of their writing changed what their writing means.

Words in context questions are great practice for identifying and explaining context. They remind you of how circumstances can change what something means. Identifying context and how it changes meaning is a key feature of critical thinking.

Words in Context Examples

Words in context questions are multiple choice questions. Just like other multiple choice questions, they appear immediately after a reference passage from a story, poem, or essay.

A reference passage is the passage of text a question refers to. It appears before each set of multiple choice questions.

Here is an example of a reference passage in an English Language exam:

Fig. 2 — Example passage.

Words in context questions are based on reference passages. Reference passages have numbered lines so you can easily refer to the correct lines when answering questions about the passage.

Words in context questions include a list of possible word or phrase choices to answer the question. Your job is to select the word or phrase that best answers the question, considering the context of the passage.

In the passage, the author uses the phrase «revolutionary methods» primarily to:

(A) Contrast the needs of modern women against those of historical women.

(B) Emphasize the humanity of women.

(D) To criticize the suffrage movement.

Did you get C for this question? If so, you’re right! If you didn’t, or simply if you want a little more information, the following section contains how you might arrive at this answer.

How to Answer Words in Context Questions

To answer words in context questions, read the reference passage, identify context clues, predict the answer, and test out each possibility. Follow this 4-step process to effectively answer questions about words in context.

1. Read the Reference Passage

Before looking at the questions, read the reference passage closely. Mark any words, phrases, or sentences that reflect the author’s purpose.

2. Identify Context Clues

After reading the passage, take a moment to identify context clues.

Context clues are anything that gives you an idea of the context of a passage.

Here are some context clues you might identify:

Words that indicate the author’s tone and attitude toward the subject
Sentences that indicate the genre of the passage.
Information on the location, time period, or other historical aspects of the passage.
Information on the author.
Words and phrases that give you a sense of the author’s purpose.

3. Predict the Answer

Don’t look at the answer choices at first. Instead, try to make an educated guess. What do you think the right answer might be, without looking at the answer choices? This will help anticipate possible answers.

For example, you might think of a synonym for «compromise.» You find your guess isn’t in the list of options. However, the synonym you guessed most closely aligns with one of the answer options! You just made things a lot easier on yourself by trying to make an educated guess first.
