Demonstrative. There, thither, thence, then, thus. Relative. Where, whither, whence, when, how, why. 173. Adverbs formed from the Relative Pronoun serve to connect the Relative clause with the Antecedent clause. They may be called Relative Adverbs: He saw the village where the poet was born.' 174. When these Adverbs are employed to ask a question, they are called Interrogative Adverbs. Mother, oh where is that radiant shore? EXERCISE 24. 1. What is an Adverb? Why so called? 2.

Prepositions show the relation between nouns or pronouns and other words in a sentence The flowers in the garden droop from the heat.' In shows the relation between 'flowers' and 'garden' (place); from shows the relation between 'droop' and 'heat' (cause). 176. Sometimes a combination of words serves as a Preposition: instead of,' 'because of,' for the sake of,' 'out of,' 'out from,' 'apart from,' &c. 177. Prepositions generally stand before the nouns with which they are connected, and these nouns are usually said to be in the Accusative or Objective case. 180. In addition to the above, the following words are sometimes considered as Preposi 1. What is the use of Prepositions? Where are they usually placed in a sentence? What case are they said to govern? 2. Point out the Prepositions and show what words they connect. (a) He went by steamer from Liverpool to New York, (d) At this instant a knight urging his horse to speed CONJUNCTIONS. 181. Conjunctions are words used to connect statements: He is gone to the grave, but we will not deplore him. The Conjunction and, meaning in addition to, sometimes connects words: Two and two make four.' 182. The statements connected by a Conjunction may be independent assertions, each of which is an actual fact: Such honours Ilion to her hero paid, And peaceful slept the mighty Hector's shade. Independent statements when thus connected are called Co-ordinate clauses, and the Conjunctions connecting them Co-ordinant Conjunctions. Two or more dependent statements when subjoined to the same Principal clause are also called Co-ordinant clauses, and are connected by Co-ordinant Conjunctions. The Co-ordinant Conjunctions are and, or, nor, but, than. The words when, where, whence, when they mean and then, and there, and thence, are Coordinant Conjunctions : We had gone quietly for some time when [and then] a dark object suddenly appeared in front of us. At last we reached the village where [and there] our guides left us and returned to the cave. He sent the two men into the wood whence [and thence] they returned as wise as they went, for the birds had flown. 183. A statement is often made to which some condition or modifying clause is subjoined: I will call upon you to-morrow if it does not rain. In such sentences the positive statement is called the Principal clause, and the possible or dependent statement the Subordinate clause. Conjunctions that subjoin Subordinate to Principal clauses, or one dependent clause to another, are called Subordinant Conjunctions: that, if, for, because, since; when, where, whence (relatives). The day when [on which] the comet first appeared, was carefully noted. The house where [in which] the old man lived, was destroyed. The rock whence [from which] flowed the living stream. 184. Certain combinations of words often serve as Conjunctions: as though,' 'as if,' 'provided that,' after that,' inasmuch as,' 'as far as,' as well as,' in order that,' &c. 185. Conjunctions are frequently found with |
