NOTES (for Cycles 48, 49, 50) 1) When is used with abstract Nouns like 'will, spirit', it refers to an absence or lack of something. 'to be discouraged', 'to have no hope', 'to be no longer under punishment'. 2) is a nominalizer, i. e. when it is placed before VP, the VP is changed into NP; + VP = NP 'to be concerned' 'worry, concern' The nouns formed in this manner are all Abstract Nouns. 3) means 'to still have one's mind on (doing something) or 'not to have given up the idea of (doing something)'. 'He hasn't given up the idea of being a farmer yet.' 4) after VP indicates 'mutuality' or 'reciprocity' in an action; it functions somewhat like a reflexive pronoun (myself, himself, etc.) in English: 'They still dislike each other.' 5) When occurs before certain VP, it functions somewhat like be in the passive in English: 09/23/2014 7:28 AM 225
